A sixth floor room with balcony overlooking the square was perfect. Spacious, clean and well appointed. The staff were extremely helpful, nothing too much trouble. It’s well positioned too which means it’s easy to get to/from the airport and to the different islands in Stockholm itself.

the Room was spacious and clean with a great view of the park across the street. There is 24 hour tea and coffee, good coffee on the 4th floor. The breakfast is excellent, the croissants are like paris. the staff very helpful and friendly. The Concierge Michele knows all about Stockholm, she is amazing. It is business and couple friendly, less for family.

Wonderful hotel with comfortable beds and an excellent breakfast and bar. We loved the streets nearby with outdoor dining options. Still close to the old town and tourist hot spots - but outside proper tourist area.

8/10 Very good

Room was spacious and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. My only remark is the bar areas are often taken over for local art and literature gatherings so getting a drink at the bar is almost impossible. We went during the week, too.

The room was very clean and the staff was very kind. Also we had breakfast and dinner at the hotel and both were good. The main negative point is that room was very very small. We were two people and the room only had chair.
