Location great, staff amazing but rooms were beyond clean. We were in a junior suite and it felt like the living area carpet with food strewn all over was never vacuumed, there were dust specks settled on the coffee table. Would not recommend to someone who values cleanliness over location.

strategically located near 5 minute walk to T centrale which is the main hub of mass transportaion of Stockholm. Although very near to T central and with in walking distance to main shopping districts the hotel is situated in a quite location with good isolation from the city buzz. If you are visiting as a family try family rooms which are more comfartable with children as they are roomy and offer extra beds. İnternet connection is very good and hassle free. Breakfast is very taste with decent amount of varieties which are of very good quality. Reception is very warm and friendly , room check in and out was a breeze. If you are visiting in a cold weather room tempature may be an issue and thats may be Swedish are more accustomed to warmish room tempatures .

The stay was decent overall. The location proved convenient, and the room offered a peaceful retreat. However, cleanliness fell short of expectations. Lingering trash in the hallway, including food waste, marred our experience. Additionally, when inquiring about bringing a baby to the bar area, we faced confusion from one staff member who suggested retreating to our room for drinks due to uncertainty. After some delay, another staff member clarified that it was permissible. These instances left us feeling unsettled and slightly frustrated during our visit. Breakfast was chaotic.

A 5 minute walk from the train station, a 30 minute walk from Gamla Stan and if you're coming from America with fussy children- you'll be across the street from Burger King, McDonalds, Subway and 7-Eleven.

Incredible location in central Stockholm. The breakfast was amazing and the family room was so spacious. We were traveling with 20month old twins and could fit the double pram into our room too. Will def come back to stay again soon

We had a lovely stay here. We booked a superior family room, as we were two adults and a three year old. There was plenty of space in the room and the bed was big enough for the three of us! Despite the hotel being very central we found it quiet and slept well. The bed was comfy and the room was a pleasant temperature. We could open the windows for fresh air which was a bonus! The breakfast was great, I've never seen so much choice (including for all dietary requirements). It got a little busy from 8am but arriving at 7:30am we easily got a table. The only thing that could have been improved was the condition of the bathroom; the toilet seat was a little old and smelled. The shower cubicle could have done with a deep clean and probably an update. Overall we would recommend this hotel for a stay in central Stockholm.

Excellent location, with good transport connections to many attractions and walking distance the central station. We were a family of 4 in 2 rooms. The rooms were on the same floor but about 10 doors apart. I had also requested an early check in which could not be managed. 1 room was on the smaller side. The cupboard had hanging space and 1 usable shelf. Breakfast was nice, lots of choices and we managed to find tables even at busy times.

We stayed in a junior suite as we needed space for three. It was a nice room with a record player! We liked the hot breakfast. Breakfast was crowded so difficult to find a quiet table.

The family stayed at this hotel for a few days. We could not have been more pleased with our stay then we were. The location is perfect and room was a good size with excellent beds. I wished the bathroom was larger but that is the only negative thing to say. The breakfast was better than most places I have stayed at.
