Charming Hotel with Excellent Location

superb locationrelaxing chairsquirky decorhelpful staff

The hotel has a superb location near the shopping district. Gamla Stan is also a short walk away. I found the room spacious enough. It included two relaxing chairs. I especially liked the quirky decor on level 3.5 (a nice touch!). The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

I found the noise from nearby clubs noticeable late at night.

The hotel is located in the center of the city. Most places were walkable or a quick ride away (Ubers are readily available). I appreciated the easy access to many shops, sights, and museums from this location.
