We booked the suite and the room was extremely spacious and gorgeous. I loved the big windows, allowing lots of light into the room. The location was fantastic, close to food and shopping and most of the sights. I just really enjoyed our nights here after long walking days.

Adellesf United States of America

Location can’t be beat. So many restaurants and great shopping early. Just a 10 minute walk to the water. Breakfast is amazing!

Charlina United States of America

slightly small rooms, but okey for a few nights stay.

Magnus Norway

The Sparrow was so handy to public transport and close to the city, attractions. Very central. The staff that we dealt with during our stay were amazingly friendly and helpful. Philippe and Linus were so helpful. Being someone who is very critical of customer service these 2 were the faultless. Made our stay all that bit better.

Deborah Australia

Great staff, breakfast was fantastic swedish style, and the room and hotel itself was elegant, fresh and well located. We will go back.

Andrew United Kingdom

Staff was beyond excellent, really exceptional front desk. Breakfast was terrific. I think I’d take a different room next time. Love Stockholm and how nice to feel so welcomed as an American.

Kathleen United States of America

Three things in particular 1) central location; 2) superb morning breakfast buffet; and 3) incredible friendliness and helpfulness of hotel staff

David United States of America

Staff was friendly and very helpful. Our room was exceptional. Bed linens are very high quality. Everything was great. The hotel restaurant is very good as well. I highly recommend this hotel.

Judith United States of America

Friendly, knowledgeable staff that helped find great places to eat and shop. They made reservations and got us prime seats on a busy night at the restaurant! The rooms are stylish, with great high ceilings. The room was quiet despite being located in a central area. Very clean rooms and bathrooms.

Madhu United States of America

This is a great hotel. Why? Its architectural beauty and location. The latter is right in the center of everything, but set back so it’s quiet. The breakfast was delicious with lots of food and choices. Best of all, the staff was so smart and kind. The only complaint is that the blankets were very warm, maybe a light comforter in summer. Thank you to the Sparrow Hotel staff for all the excellent advice and good conversation. It was memorable.

    Dear, There are a few different big ports in Stockholm and we are located close to all of them, approximately 15 minutes by cab. We unfortuently do not offer free transportation. Hope this answered your questions! Kind regards, The Sparrow Hotel
