The stay was very comfortable. Really good comfy bed, base essentials for me to work from hotel as well. Plus all you want free water! The location of hotel is central to main attractions and all important connections. I will definitely stay again at the hotel if I visit stockholm again.

Nice hotel, conveniently located…
Yet, rooms are a bit pricey for the comfort proposed. Many rooms have aged and although functional they are a bit worn out…
Breakfast is really good.
Personal is friendly and helpful.

Good location of the larger streets but still central and close to where you want to head.
Great restaurant across the street Farang - Asian Fusion and more within a 100m radius.
Nice comfortable bed. The hotel is in good (but somewhat aging ) condition, being gradualy renovated in a non disturbing discrete way.
The only thing I could have a comment on is that the door closing mechanism shuts makes it a bit noisy when your neighbours come or leave their rooms.
All in all great value and warm smiles from all the staff.

Hotel located in the business district of Stockholm but still walking distance to the heart of the city including Gamla Stan. I did everything on foot. Very friendly staff, as well at reception as in the restaurant. I had a small but quiet and cosy room on the 7th floor. Excellent service and quality of food in the hotel restaurant. Soup of the week was delicious (tomato, asparagus) as were the “meatballs” and the “rainbow trout”.
Only minor point of criticism: Breakfast was extremely crowded (maybe due to a fully booked hotel around the 1st of May). Still, a lot of variety at the buffet until closing time of the breakfast time.

Very dated rooms and small bathrooms and the whole thing feels extremely tired, Breakfast is expensive for being Sweden but delivers good quality and the staff in the bar and reception is doing what they can to help the clients but the hotel is in desperate need of a renovation if they shouldn't fall down to a hostel .
