Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located in the vibrant Soedermalm district within walking distance of Gamla Stan. The rooms, although small and can get busy at peak times, have comfy beds and a proper shower. However, the bathroom door frame looked untidy and broken, and the room was not yet classified as a double.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Medborgarplatsen metro station, making it super easy to explore Stockholm. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but some areas like under the bed could use a bit more attention. The staff was incredibly helpful and went out of their way to assist with every request. The dining options were diverse and satisfying, offering a wide range of choices. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor cleaning issues to note.
The hotel is situated in a very central location in the area of Sodermalm, providing easy access to various attractions and transportation options. The rooms, despite lacking natural light and having a slight smell issue on the lower floor, are exceptionally clean and quiet, furnished with thick curtains allowing for uninterrupted sleep regardless of the time of day. The location's proximity to key areas like the Old Town and various entertainment venues is convenient, yet there are some safety concerns due to a high crime rate in the area. The dining options offer an extraordinary variety of food, accommodating special dietary needs with gluten-free selections, but can be busy and loud during peak hours. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money with a decent range of facilities available to guests.
