Hotels in Gamla Stan, Stockholm

We had a wonderful experience staying at this rental and would absolutely return. This was our first visit to Stockholm—traveling as a group of three (my mother, my aunt, and myself)—and the apartment’s location in the heart of Gamla Stan exceeded our expectations. While we had planned to visit Gamla Stan as a must-see attraction, staying directly in this historic neighborhood made our experience even more memorable. The apartment is tucked away down a quiet alley, offering peace and privacy despite being right in the center of a lively, bustling area filled with shops and restaurants. The location was ideal for exploring the rest of the city. We primarily used Uber to get around due to mobility considerations for my mom and aunt, and nothing was more than 15–20 minutes away, even with traffic. If not for those limitations, the city would have been very walkable from this base. The apartment itself was exceptional—charming, spacious, and full of character. You can truly feel the history of the building through its original features, including stone floors and classic wood-and-glass windows. The first floor featured a large dining area that comfortably seats 6–8 people, along with a cozy sitting area, an electric piano, and a well-equipped kitchen stocked with everything needed, including a coffee setup and full cookware. The bathroom was modern and spacious, with generous counter space, a washer/dryer combo, and a large stone shower with its own window and built-in shelves. Upstairs, there was another lounge area with seating and a TV, two large bedrooms, and a loft with a bed—where I slept, and found it both fun and comfortable. Our host was gracious and communicative throughout the stay. Instructions were clear, and at checkout, we appreciated the flexibility to leave our luggage in the entrance hallway for a few hours before heading to the airport. As the host manages the entire building, we felt comfortable and secure doing so. Incredible experience.

The location is great, it was clean, warm and cozy. We didn't try the breakfast but everything else is recommended!

Location, staff, big clear room, facilities.

It was beautiful. I really enjoyed that is was all decorated for the season. The food was fantastic as well.

The staff in the reception, restaurant and the housekeeping was exceptional.

Great location, comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff

Everything, and above all, the staff's friendliness and attention to detail. I stayed in 3 hostels over the last 2 weeks. This one is so much better than the others. No complaints at all.

The location is in a prime spot if you are looking to explore Gamla Stan. You walk right outside your door and you are in the heart of it. Shops, restaurants, cafes, all steps away. It makes Stockholm very walkable.

It was an amazing stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was the best.

The story behind the accommodation. I was feeling inside the history.
