Hotels in Gamla Stan - Stockholm

Positiv:: Gut gelegen und alles war leicht zu erreichen! Die Betten sind bequem und die Angestellten sind aufmerksam. Das Frühstück war auch gut!

Positiv:: It was very good and ingredients were very fresh. The room was pleasant.

Negativ:: The stairs.

Positiv:: This was one of the most charming, cozy hotels I've ever stayed at. It's a historic little building right in the middle of Gamla Stan, but on a side street so not that noisy. We asked for an early check-in, which was granted. Moreso, we were welcomed with breakfast! I've never experienced that in a hotel before. Our hostess was super friendly and helpful, taking care of our bag, helping with questions. The room was small, cozy and very tasteful in design. Most hotels are boring and loved sleeping in such a historic room. One of the beds was a bit on the soft side. We slept very well though and woke up with the smell of freshly baked bread. Breakfast was delicious and fresh with smoothies, ginger shots, some Swedish specialties, and scrambled eggs. Location is super convenient. The walk to Arlanda Express was just 10 minutes and we were able to all the major sights on foot, or by taking the ferry occasionally. I don't think you can find a friendlier, more charming hotel in Stockholm.

Negativ:: One of the beds was very soft.

Positiv:: Absolutely charming. Wonderful location, very helpful staff, delicious breakfast, comfortable, relaxed vibe. With all the modern comforts, it's still a bit like going back a couple of centuries.

Positiv:: In a wonderful location - Old Town. Very viby area. Close to everything. The suite room was amazing. Breakfast lovely. Will definitely go there again

Negativ:: The bathroom a bit small, but understand why - it’s in the attic!

Positiv:: Very authentic hotel. John the Manager could not have been more helpful, he let us check in early and gave us great advice on places to visit. The hotel has a very personal touch.

Negativ:: We have nothing to complain about.

Positiv:: The location is great!

Negativ:: It was extremely hot, and it was hard to sleep. The room was small and the window was left open by the cleaning staff without letting us know in advance. We travel with a 2 years old with good climbing skills, so this was quite a dangerous thing to do.

Positiv:: Charming hotel in very old small house in the old town. Surprisingly big room.

Negativ:: The breakfast was very good, except for the bread, which was a real disappointment: There was only a choice between “industrial” buns and toast (good knäckebröd, though!)

Positiv:: We loved it! 400 year old hotel full of charm and a very friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. This is a historic house in the middle of old town and staying there feels like stepping back in time but with modern amenities. The room was small but very comfortable. It’s off the main street on a quiet ally so it’s quieter than other hotels in the area but old town is busy in high season so there can be some noise in the evenings. The only negative is that it’s a narrow winding staircase to the rooms so if you have heavy baggage and arrive after the desk closes at 7 there’s no one to help carry it. Wasn’t an issue for us but judge for yourself.

Negativ:: Nothing - it was perfect. We didn’t stay long enough!

Positiv:: Loved staying in a hotel with such a long history. In spite of its age, the building is extremely well maintained.

Positiv:: Tolle Lage, mitten in der Altstadt Gamla Stan. Das junge Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat gerne Tipps für Unternehmungen gegeben.

Positiv:: Wir sehr eine einmalige Ambiente.

Negativ:: Für meine 79-jährige Mutter, die noch gut zu Fuß ist, waren die Treppen doch noch eine Herausforderung und sie musste sich konzentrieren. Wer Mühe hat steile Treppen zu steigen ist besser in einem anderen Hotel aufgehoben.

Positiv:: So charming and very special experience. The staff are very friendly, extremely helpful and and very pleasant all around.

Negativ:: Don’t expect modern hotel amenities. Hotel is small, no elevator, and stairs are steep but you are staying in a property which dates to 1605 and it is very charming. Also located in a pedestrian area.

Positiv:: It feels cosy and comfortable for a hostel, the kitchen area especially

Negativ:: I know they give you the information before you arrive, but asking if you have sheets when you arrive and then charging for them is off putting and they should stop doing that. Just include it in the price

Positiv:: Fantastic location, comfortable bed, great common areas and very well-equipped kitchen. Very friendly staff and other travellers, lots of information on the city and where to shop, how to get to places, etc. Good selection of games and books.

Negativ:: I would have preferred to have sheets and towel included in the price. Would have been better to have another toilet and shower available as I had to wait at peak times but I understand space is restricted in the building. More recycling options would have been good, as we didn't like having to put plastic in with general rubbish.

Positiv:: Very home-like and had everything you needed, good travel tips on the bulletin and in a binder, clean, sustainable bathrooms (hand towels not paper towels).

Negativ:: Could have been nice if they organized some social activities for the travelers and had better board games

Positiv:: Perfectly located hostel in the middle of the old town. The rooms are comfy and clean, as well as common areas. And the staff is very nice !

Positiv:: Location, Friendliness, Awesome Showers, Cleanliness

Positiv:: Die Lage war hervorragend, das Peesonal sehr freundlich, wir haben gute Tips bekommen und dafür, dass es ein Hostel ist und recht viele Menschen die Bäder etc. benutzen, war es sehr sauber.

Positiv:: Fantastic hostel. I stayed in a 16 bed dorm room and it's one of the places I slept best throughout my 2 month trip. Kitchen is excellent, you could cook anything in there. Common room is small which I like because people talk to each other more. Facilities are very clean. City information provided is sufficient. Location is absolutely fantastic too you can't beat this place.

Negativ:: There's actually nothing about this hostel that I didn't like except the fact that you have to pay extra for linen which annoys me (65 sek).

Positiv:: Possible the cleanest and quietest hostel I've ever stayed! Great dorm, kitchen and awesome showers! In the centr of old town so perfect location! Can ask for no more from a hostel!

Negativ:: Leaving after 1 night!

Positiv:: Really comfortable bed and very clean. One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in around the world - would highly recommend. Couldn’t have found a better or more picturesque location!

Negativ:: Could do with one more bathroom and the bedroom lighting isn’t the best.

Positiv:: Location, staff and common areas.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Die Unterkunft hat eine perfekte Lage für einen Städtetrip! Man ist mitten in der Altstadt untergebracht. Trotz der sehr zentralen Lage ist es sehr ruhig. Man kann die nächste U-Bahn Station innerhalb von 5 min erreichen - alle weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Altstadt liegen quasi direkt vor der Tür. Das Personal war wahnsinnig freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft an sich ist sehr sauber (man muss immer bedenken, dass es sich um ein Hostel handelt und sehr viele Menschen auf kleinstem Raum zusammen wohnen). Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und man hat alles was man für die Zubereitung von einfachen Gerichten/Mahlzeiten braucht. Die Abwicklung v. Check In / Out hat super geklappt.

Negativ:: Wir haben ein Doppelzimmer gebucht - dieses auch bekommen. Leider war das Zimmer wirklich sehr klein und beengt und verfügte lediglich über zwei schmale Einzelbetten. Grundsätzlich ist das nicht weiter störend. Allerdings waren die Betten extrem durchgelegen und abgenutzt. Im Zimmer gab es keinen Stuhl und keinen Schrank o.ä. Man hatte demnach gar keine Ablagemöglichkeit für Kleidung etc. An der Decke verlief ein in Aluminiumfolie eingehülltes Rohr (möglicherweise Lüftung?). Neben komischen Geräuschen sah das einfach sehr unschön aus und hat das ganze Zimmer irgendwie ungemütlich gemacht. Alle Zimmer verfügen über Feuermelder (sehr gut!!) - allerdings darf man auf Grund dessen kein Sprühdeo oder Haarspray in den Räumen verwenden. Ich will mir nicht ausmalen welche Kosten entstehend wenn man dies mal vergisst und der Feueralarm ausgelöst wird. Die Unterkunft verfügt lediglich über vier Toiletten und drei Duschen. Zuerst dachten wir, dass dies ausreichend sei. Allerdings hatte man zu den Stoßzeiten (morgens und abends) kaum Gelegenheit zu duschen oder auf die Toilette zu gehen. Das ist definitiv der Aspekt gewesen der uns am meisten gestört hat. Mal später zu duschen ist kein Problem - aber wenn man morgens über 60min warten muss bis man mal auf die Toilette gehen kann - ist wirklich unschön.

Positiv:: Great hostel, clean rooms, showers, toilets. Nice kitchen, friendly and helpful stuff. Awesome location, in the middle of the Gamla stan (old town).

Positiv:: Alles super und auch noch Bio Frühstück!

Positiv:: Trotzdem wars ok für 1 Person. (Queensize bed). Reichhaltiges Frühstück, SEHR gute Lage, stilvolles und "antikes" Ambiente

Negativ:: Zimmer sehr klein und nicht wie bei booking. com abgebildet.

Positiv:: breakfast was excellent, location was excellent. very nice bathrooms

Negativ:: the double beds were very small. block out curtains needed to make the rooms dark

Positiv:: Breakfast, antique design, location

Negativ:: Beds were placed in line.

Positiv:: Location superb, staff were friendly

Negativ:: Room was very small

Positiv:: Clean, perfect location, great staff, good breakfast.

Negativ:: Hot days, no AC, noisy outside so some troubles to open the windows.

Positiv:: Very good breakfast. comfy beds. Excellent location and friendly staff.

Negativ:: The bathroom was possibly the smallest i have ever seen making it cramped and difficult to put toiletries anywhere. The bedroom was dark and small.

Positiv:: Nicely done, comfortable, room was large. Excellent location. Great breakfast.

Negativ:: A bit pricey

Positiv:: Optimale Lage,sehr gutes Frühstück,Zimmer sauber,Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit

Positiv:: Lage und die liebevolle Einrichtung

Positiv:: Die Lage ist unschlagbar - zentraler kann man nicht wohnen.

Positiv:: Das Frühstück

Negativ:: Zimmer zu hellhörig, Fenster alt und nicht schallisoliert, dadurch Lärm von Straße und Kirchengeläut die ganze Nacht. Keine Seife auf Waschbecken, man musste aus Spender der Dusche nehmen, unfassbar.

Positiv:: Gute Lage

Negativ:: Das Zimmer war klein, aber dies war wahrscheinlich der Standard in Skandinavien.

Positiv:: Wie schon oft geschrieben, perfekte zentrale Lage. Sehr schönes Frühstück. Hotel mit sehr viel charme.

Negativ:: Zimmer etwas klein

Positiv:: Frühstück war erstklassig. Ganz tolles buffett mit frischen Smoothies, aufgeschnittenen Südfrüchten, Lachs, Heringssalat! Sehr nettes u umgängliches personal! Bad neu und ok.

Negativ:: Zimmer ist sehr klein, auch tw dunkle zimmer im EG vorhanden (entspricht nicht den Fotos) auch teilweise zu verschlissene oder alte Möbel (aufgeschabte Polsterstühle oder Schreibtisch).

Positiv:: The location was as good as you can get. Near everything in Gamla stan. The breakfast was excellent as well and the breakfast staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to help.

Negativ:: Size of room and elevator was a little small when traveling with a toddler and stroller, but building is from 1600s so can't hold that against them.

Positiv:: Location , closeness to train . All within walking distance to the center .

Negativ:: No fans to cool down the room , too noisy to have windows open at night

Positiv:: Tolle Lage, um Stockholm zu erkunden. Man kann fast alles fußläufig erreichen. Klasse Frühstück. Da bleiben kaum Wünsche offen..... höchstens ein Cappuccino ;-) Charmantes Hotel mit eigener Dachterrasse.

Negativ:: Im Hotel werden die Zimmer nicht mehr täglich gereinigt, nur noch auf ausdrücklichen Wunsch am Tag davor! Das sollte man wissen, schließlich bucht und bezahlt man dafür!!

Positiv:: Great breakfast with super engaged personal

Positiv:: The staff, especially during breakfast and Stefan at the reception were very helpful.

Negativ:: The hotel is overpriced for the quality of service (if you can even call this service). The rooms are very small (with an even smaller and quiet uncomfortable bed - you can clearly feel that it’s been slept on many many times) and have open holes where something has been removed off the wall - since there is no airco you have to open the window and the street is quite noisy. The curtains seem not to have been cleaned in a long while there’s too much dust coming out when you close them in an attempt to darken the room (no possibility for “blackout”. The same goes for underneath the bed there is a general layer of dust spread across. Cleaning service is only on request (which was not communicated upon arrival). The “minibar” is an empty fridge which definitely wasn’t cleaned after the last people left!

Positiv:: Lovely quaint hotel in the heart of Gamla Stan, close to everything. The rooms are small but beautifully decorated in a traditional scandinavian style. I recommend staying on the third floor for light. I loved the big opening windows, bringing in light and air. The beds were very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was simply amazing - HUGE selection of foods for every taste.

Negativ:: Noisy, but it is in the heart of the old town (and there is a massive construction project nearby but that wasn't as noisy as the general hubbub of the city and from the bars around the corner). As this is an older building (we're talking european old), there are no individual temperature controls for the room and no A/C (to be fair, Stockholm isn't known for its heat waves)

Positiv:: Good location

Negativ:: Old

Positiv:: Breakfast was excellent. Compared with two similar hotels this was the best choice for Old Town Stockholm for me. Everything in the hotel worked. Staff was helpful. Very near the metro station. Excellent restaurants nearby.

Negativ:: The area was noisy in the mornings, but not the hotels fault. I would have enjoyed free bottled water each day since Sweden is expensive for tourists.

Positiv:: The breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice. Helpful staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

Negativ:: Nothing I can think of.

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: Everything was just perfect: room, location, services, breakfast.

Positiv:: Great position in Gamla Stan.

Negativ:: No curfew for noise or lights in communal bedrooms

Positiv:: A self-service hostel for adults and families, because the room prices keep the party-travellers elsewhere. High rooms, high windows. Easy to use if you know your way through Gamla Stan.

Negativ:: As noisy as every other hostel until 10 pm, thin walls, lot of door banging, some noise also from the street below. It would be tolerable, but 130 euros (3 persons + sheets) is at least 30 e too much for this level of lodging. Sorry, we won't come again.

Positiv:: * Der Keller aus dem 16.Jahrhundert; tolles feeling * Dunkelheit im Zimmer! Bei nur zwei Stunden Dunkelheit in der 'Nacht' * Sicherheit durch Türcodes, kein lästiges herumtragen eines Schlüssels * Der Check in/Wie eine Schnitzeljagd; ) * Küche * Die Lage ist super

Negativ:: *Etwas beengt zu zweit mit Gepäck *(Der Check in, wenn man müde und genervt ist)

Positiv:: - Located in the old town (however not crowded or noisy) - The brick wall in the room made an interesting atmosphere (although a little dusty) - Passcodes for your room which means you don't have to carry keys with you

Negativ:: - Staff was hardly there - The stairs down to the room

Positiv:: Great location almost in the heart of Gamla Stan, very nice and friendly staff. Everything was clean, kitchen with free tea and coffee. We arrived two hours before check in and were allowed to leave our bags in luggage storage, take shower, even got hairdryer and drank some tea. Room was just as described and shown in photos, clean. Curfew for an extra charge, but that was mentioned on booking. Everything was excellent!

Positiv:: Breakfast was not so bad. Hostel is within walking distance of Galma Stan, Royal Palace, Nobel Prize museums and etc

Negativ:: The room space is quite small for our luggages to be open flat. Separately for the shared bathrooms, the mirror and hooks in some bathrooms are yet to be replACed.

Positiv:: Es ist ein tolles Erlebnis in einem Gewölbekeller (wohlgemerkt mit offener Decke) übernachtet zu haben - aber 1 Nacht reicht hier völlig aus, auch wenn die Lage TOP zentral war. Es ist eigentlich ein Hostel/Jugendherberge mit Gewölbecharme :-) Toll war die junge Dame an der Rezeption, sehr nett, zuvorkommend und sehr hilfsbereit.

Negativ:: Das DZ im dormitory ist eigentlich nur ein Bett mit Umrandung, sodass ein 20kg Koffer nicht geöffnet liegen kann oder man quasi immer in ihm steht. Es gibt keinen Schrank, auf 3 Bügel kann etwas an die Stangen auf 1 Seite gehängt werden, kaum Ablagefläche. Keine Reinigung, kein Betten machen, keine frischen Handtücher in 3 Tagen. Es gibt keinen Aufzug in den Gewölbekeller, die Steintreppe ist lang und steil. Die Gemeinschaftsbäder/- toiletten sind mit unhygienischen Stoffhandtüchern ausgestattet, winzig und verwohnt, die Waschbecken sind so klein, dass man schwer das Gesicht darüber waschen kann. Das Frühstück ist als solches nicht erwähnenswert da dermaßen spartanisch, aber man kann selbst etwas einkaufen.

Positiv:: Free coffee, nice lounge

Positiv:: Great location, simple and effective. Good price for the location.

Negativ:: The basement subdivided rooms were effective enough and fairly clever. They are open at the top though, so noise carries over. You are kind of at the mercy of other travellers - the day we were leaving there was a family with a baby coming. That should not be allowed for those rooms. They were also a bit cramped for a couple. One night was totally fine but more would have gotten a bit annoying. But we had a good experience overall and were satisfied with the stay.

Positiv:: Location

Positiv:: Fabulous location. Courteous staff.

Positiv:: die Einrichtung war sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt. zudem waren die waschräume sehr sauber.
