Great for city break

Very good hotel for a short city break - great location for concerts at Nalen and right by the underground station (2 stops east tide to old town). 10 mins walk from train station. I used the key code for late entry no problem. Excellent breakfast. Great staff. Small rooms for the price, but that’s Stockholm for you.

Great choice

I read all the one star reviews and I really believe the writers would stay here if visiting again. While the comments about size are true, you can still have a good night sleep. Isn't that what a visitor wants? Two blocks from Coop grocery store, one block from the subway, walking distance from central station. Plenty of food and shopping. Given the price in an otherwise expensive city, it's a great deal. The breakfast is excellent!

Room conditions

I truly wanted to give this hotel a glowing review—there were definitely some high points. The location was absolutely fantastic, and the complimentary breakfast exceeded expectations in both quality and variety. However, the room itself left much to be desired. We were aware at the time of booking that the room did not have a window, and we were prepared for that. What we didn’t anticipate was the complete lack of ventilation. There was no airflow at all, which made the room feel stuffy and uncomfortable. While we were inside during the day, we found ourselves having to prop the door open just to get some circulation. Of course, this wasn’t an option at night, when we needed to close the door for safety and privacy. Unfortunately, that meant sleeping in a poorly ventilated, stagnant room—even though the outdoor temperature was a pleasant 70°F. If you're considering staying here, be sure to double-check whether your room has a window or at least adequate ventilation. It made a big difference in our overall comfort and enjoyment of the stay.

Hot Hot Hot

The room was very warm. Regardless of how low I set the thermostat, it wouldn’t go below 24 degrees (it felt hotter), and there was no fan. Very uncomfortable. Cramped, but I expected that.

Ok but could be better.

I stayed 2 nights at Birka, one night in a room with window and one night without. The room with the window was nice and comfortable. The room without the window was stuffy and not correctly aerated. I took a shower at roughly 17, went out for dinner and drinks and came back 4 hours later to a very humid and stuffy room. .

Oppholdet var fint, det var rent og ryddig og personalet var hyggelig. Vi var litt misfornøyde med luftkvaliteten på rommet, da det ikke var noe aircondition og vinduet ikke kunne åpnes. Vi fikk en liten vifte, noe som hjalp litt. Alt i alt var det et fint opphold og for en billig penge:)
