    There is a crack in the washbasin and its color turns to yellow, and it would be better if it had changed.

    Excellent location, breakfast has decent diversity, although the room is not big, it is quite cosy.

    However we had one major issue with the air conditioning/ventilation system. The air vent is located right above the bed, so it blows cold air directly onto your face. The system is set to one temperature and you simply can’t change it. We made a complaint about it – a maintenance guy came, told us he had fixed it, and said we could adjust the temperature up to 23°C. But this only worked during the day. At night the system switched back and continued blowing cold air straight onto the bed. We even tried covering the vent with towels, but it didn’t help. As a result, we went home with sore throats. So, if you don’t like sleeping in the cold, keep this in mind before booking a stay here. If we had been staying in Stockholm for more than 3 nights, we would have changed hotels after the second night.

    Hotel was overall very nice – great location, superb breakfast, and friendly staff.

    It is a big and rather corporate hotel. It felt a bit anonymous. The foyer was huge and full of lights. Breakfast space was enormous and quite crowded.

    A comfortable hotel in a convenient location. Excellent breakfast. It was very good value.

    Expensive for what you get - though less so than equivalent hotels around the railway station and Gamla Stan. That’s Stockholm unfortunately.

    Excellent breakfast, included in the price. Room was good size, only thing lacking was an electric jug. Hotel is at an easy walking distance to the central railway (and other public transport) station, to Gamla Stan, and central city shops, but relatively quiet neighboorhood. Many good restaurants within a few minutes walk.

    Family holidays at a very special place, lots of good memories

    You have to like staying at such an old building. No elevator, so staying at the top means climbing a lot of narrow stairs. For the same reasons the ceillings in most rooms are very low. (could be a serious problem above 6.2 feet). There is some noise until late evening coming from the tourists on the streets, but during the nights it was mostly quiet. We were adviced to save hot water, but one filling of the bathtub was no problem, if you need a lot of long showers this could change.

    Something special. Extremely old building. Excellent view from the balcony! Located 1 minute away from Nobel Prize Museum, yet only 3 minutes from the next subway station. Many things have been lovingly prepared and adapted. Solid Wi-Fi.

    The cleanliness of the rooms and corridors could be improved.

    It is located in a well-kept part of the city, close to the center, and the breakfast is five-star. Conveniently located near the metro, in a pleasant neighborhood.

    Frequented by bus tours, large crowds at breakfast storming the buffet. Hard to get an elevator - they only fit 4 people and there are people waiting on every floor to get one . After 10 min of waiting we always ended up taking the 5 flights of stairs … The rooms are very dated, simple and absolutely tiny.

    Great location, friendly staff, nice lobby area

    The first receptionist we encountered was not particularly welcoming or friendly at all which was disappointing as it was our initial experience with the hotel. When we returned later and were able to check in, a different receptionist was very pleasant. Despite ordering a packed breakfast and being assured it would be available at 5am, there wasn't one for us We were told then we should have ordered it the night before and not at check-in. However, a quick solution was found and we took away a packed breakfast so all ended well.

    This hotel was perfect for our stay in Stockholm. It is a little out of the way with not many restaurants nor other hotels in the vicinity - unless you knew where to look I suppose. It was much bigger and busier than expected but the room was very quiet. We never heard anyone in neighbouring rooms or in the corridor. The housekeeping staff were very nice. The breakfast was a superb spread with so much choice. We easily walked to the hotel from the station and also walked to and from the tourist spots. All in all our experience was very positive and we would recommend this hotel to friends and would return ourselves.

    There is a Gluten Free breakfast option but because of the corner location, there is a lot of cross-contamination, and I saw multiple people using the GF toaster with regular bread.

    Nice area, very central to visit but also a quiet neighborhood.

    Pillows and mattresses are too soft. No alternatives. Should have one soft and one medium for guests. No bathroom facial tissues like in all hotels. A kettle will be good because there’s no bottled water for guests in the rooms.

    We asked for early check-in and was told "subject to availability" at check-in we were told straight away that this was only available to members, otherwise there would be a charge. They could have advised that in response to my message and we would have looked aroung T- Central before arriving. Also at breakfast a sign states "free coffee al day" but we witnessed an olderman being reprimanded at the reception for helping himself. He offered to pay but they said it is free to members he asked how he becomes a member and they just let him have the coffee. When i asked at the bar in the evening the server agreed the sign was not clear but free coffee is only for members. And extra few words on the sign would have helped. I felt communication was not great but face to face the staff were great.

    The breakfast was amazing. Buffet style 7am to 11am. Very busy but always foung space to sit. There are 3 lifts that work with your room key on the way up. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was small but adequate and clean . The fridge was stocked, so there no space to put your own bottle. We booked through booking.com and got a very good rate . If you exit Rahuten station at the exit with the name ending .....garten you go up the escalator and take the left corridor then up the stairs (the elevator is being replaced) and turn left at the top of the stairs the entrance to the hotel is on the left revevolving doors a few metres up.It is veryy convenient and the station is only 1 stop from T-central where all the train lines and busses can be accessed. Trams nearby and biat/ ferries with the SL travel card or app.

    The a.c. could be better, it was to weak as you cannot set it lower than 19 degrees and the fan of the a.c.was very low and you cannot control it.

    The location, room size, the breakfast is very good, self check-in and self check-out. Would recommend this hotel :)
