I loved my stayed, the hotel is so unique and cute. The breakfast was really good and the staff members ver attentive. The location of this hotel is very continent due to its proximity to many dining options, shops, walkable and public transport. The room was perfect and loved the heated floors in the bathroom since you will mostly experience some cold in Stockholm.

The hotel is located in the heart of Gamla Stan so there are countless shopping & dining options within walking distance. Since one member of our party is elderly and cannot walk far, this was a major plus. Gamma Stan is beautiful, and the staff was very attentive and helpful during our 3-night stay.

Property was as advertised. We stayed in one of the two basement rooms. Pretty tight quarters for a family of four, but beds were comfortable and room was very quiet. Continental breakfast was functional. Our only complaint was our room was pretty warm, but we knew it wasn't air conditioned and not much the hotel can do about the unseasonably warm temperatures. They did provide a small fan that helped somewhat. The hotel staff was great. Hard to beat the hotel's location.

Cery uncharming hotel

The reception personnel at check-in and out were quite unengaged. My room was very small with no heat and was a bit on the cold side, here mid May. A garbage container was dragged through the alley outside my windows at 5.15 (on cobblestones). My new last choice for stays in Stockholm...

I would return

The staff was absolutely amazing! So kind and helpful. The location was unbeatable and gave access to the old town directly out the front door. I loved having a window to the main road and on the side of the building. I had a nice cross breeze at night. The only cons to being in that location, is that though it is a walking district, people to stay out until about 1 AM and garbage trucks started between 6 and 7 AM. There was a heat wave while I was there and though there was no AC in the room, a fan was provided. I was fine with it, but if my husband were with me, it would've been too warm for him. Despite the cons, I would stay there again. Hotel hallway noise was nearly nonexistent except for an occasional door closing, and fellow travelers were pleasant.

I had a really nice stay at this hotel. The rooms are small but well appointed. The tv was equipped with streaming capabilities which was great! The furnishings are a bit dated but comfortable. It was great to stay in the old town and be close to everything as well. Nice place!

Old style european hotel with modern sets ups (free wifi, ecologically minded). Charming historical building and decor. Very clean and well kept. Perfect location in old city - just walk out the door and you are there close to royal palace, shops, restaurants, close to trains and buses. Staff is friendly and very helpful with whatever asked. Very accommodating for those with disabilities and there is an elevator for upper floors, but may want to check out if this is place for your specific needs if you have serious ambulatory issues as there are limited hours that taxis or other cars can enter the old city if you need that, and most streets are cobble stone in this part of Stockholm. Simple but ample free european breakfast with options for all. Not alot of "extra amenities" (no "spa," small lobby, does not have their own restaurant or bar, etc) - but since any of that are steps outside - why do you need that? This was the perfect place for us and we will be back! Highly recommend.

An atmospheric sea theme hotel

The breakfast is very limited but OK. The friendliness of the staff depended on the person. There was uncertainty about the cleaning frequency. The room is decorated beautifully with the seafaring theme - the best detail is the ship model in a lighted vitrine. The location is fantastic. The slim building is extravagant. There is a lot of positive nostalgia.
