Hotel is in really good area, and it offers great buffet breakfast. But it’s very dated and has no service or elevator to help bring your luggage up.

Location, transportation, and dining options

The location was fabulous! It was across the street from the harbor and the walking path. There was a multitude of restaurants from which to choose to dine as well. The lady staffing the front desk recommended a nice restaurant a couple blocks away that served traditional fare. The entry was inconspicuous so we actually entered a restaurant first but were directed to the right location by a group of friendly people in the bar. The balcony in our room faced a courtyard that had limited parking spots. We could also see a small view of the harbor from the balcony. There is a small sitting room with a balcony that faces the waterfront. It’s on the same floor as the room in which we stayed and it’s a nice place to read. The breakfast they served was delicious. There is no elevator but the clerk offered to assist with luggage. The street in front provides transportation of many types including a bus to the cruise pier. It’s about a 5-10 minute walk following a blue line to make one’s way back to a ship from where the bus stops.

Beautiful building with basic service

The building is gorgeous and location perfect for visiting Stockholm. The hotel doesn’t necessarily meet premium standards but the beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the room 14, which is described as suite but it’s basically a very large room with very small and outdated bathroom. If you’re staying over the weekend the street right below is super loud until late at night due to traffic and music. We asked the receptionist is Sunday night as loud and her response was “I’m not responsible for the regulations of the street” which was a bit amusing but not very helpful. They stay on Sunday night was less noisy. The hotel doesn’t have a gym and the bathroom was very outdated, and breakfast was good but very basic. Coffee was from a machine, no fresh latte with specialty milk ;) I would recommend this hotel but not for someone who’s after premium experience and service.

Beautiful boutique hotel with amazing breakfast

Beautiful antique style boutique hotel. Really good breakfast with the normal bacon, eggs, bread but also chia puddings, pastries, cheese and fruit salad. We loved it! There is also coffee and tea available 24/7 and a really nice living room where you can sit down. The staff is super friendly and made our stay amazing. Location is excellent. The only issue was that the air in our room was quite moist, but that was probably just because it is autumn and it rained a lot, plus the building is old. Nevertheless I'm definitely coming here again!
Riikka, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Extremely disappointing stay, felt like a scam. Peer hotels in the same street are way superior for the same price. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations for $400 per night. The hotel is very old, and this is evident in the outdated facilities and design. The fact that there is no elevator was not mentioned anywhere in the listing, which made it inconvenient to carry luggage to our room. With only around 30 rooms it felt like a small/ low cost hotel. There was only one employee available in the afternoon and night. This limited the assistance we could receive and made the service feel inadequate. There was no official bar, and the one employee available had to make our drinks, which felt unprofessional. Additionally, there was no room service at all, which was very disappointing. The wifi connection in the room was terrible, making it difficult to stay connected, and there was no air conditioning, which made our stay uncomfortable, especially during the warmer nights. We paid $400 per night, and for the price, it felt like a scam. Compared to peer hotels right beside them, such as the Diplomat Hotel, which offer far superior amenities and services at the same price, this was a complete outrage. We stayed in the Diplomat Hotel for a couple of nights for the same price, and it's way superior than Esplanade Hotel (no point of comparison). The price is completely unjustified for what they offer. Terrible experience, I would actually like a refund.
