“A fabulous historic hotel on Mariatorget”

- • Solo traveler

A wonderful hotel in all aspects: location, staff, facilities. I was really happy to have a balcony in the the room. The room was equipped with safebox, minibar filled with drinks and a CD/DVD player with a collection of discs. To have a coffee machine on the 4th floor was quite convenient. The historical bistro/bar of 1930s offer a nice selection of food and drinks. There is a bar next door to the hotel entrance with live broadcast of sport events. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. A historic hotel on Mariatirget, which is a fabulous place in itself. Located just in 3 subway stops from the central railway station.

“loved it”

- • Standard Double or Twin Room

the neighbors next room were sooo loud with music and chatting until the receptionist intervened.. but even after they turned off the music u can still hear them talking normally even though they weren't loud anymore... so the walls aren't really insulating the sound properly. they are doing some renovation in the lobby... would have been nice to see the lobby as in the photos... nothing really big of a complaint here.
staff : helpful and friendly room : I had the standard... a bit small but super super comfy..super clean.... loved the touch of the DVDs and the teddy bear :D..bathroom floor is heated nicely.. the view was on an inner courtyard and it wasn't bad at all location : perfectly centered between Gamla Stan and Södermalm...

Probably one of the best breakfasts ever. The standard rooms are fairly small , but tick all of the boxes. Its perfect for one night, but I recommend the larger room if you are staying longer. Perfect location for the old town and visiting the palace.
