Will stay there again
We loved the hotel. Lovely bakery and cafe downstairs. It is situated in an interesting and fun area with plenty of shopping and night life. Walking distance to the harbor area. Perfect in every way!
Traveler's tip on dining
The Pelican is in walking distance and served delicious traditional Swedish fare in an interesting setting. Very large portions!

Nice hotel & location, standard rooms small
The hotel itself is nice and the bakery and cafe are both tasty places for snacks. The location on the island of Södermalm is a 10 minute walk to Gamla Stan (Old Town) and the subway station is 2 blocks away for trips further out. The hotel itself is nicely designed and the beds ultra comfy, but we found our room wasn’t big enough to want to spend any extra amount of time it, which isn’t a bad thing if you are there to sight see. The peaceful park across the street is a huge bonus.
Traveler's tip
If there’s more then one of you going to this hotel from the airport, a taxi is only 10-20 kronor (sek) more than the high speed train and no transferring to a different train! It could be a challenging walk from Central Station here with luggage.

Outstanding hotel and service
When I booked the hotel I was a little worried that the hotel was too far from the sights in Copenhagen. I needn’t have worried. The location was PERFECT. A nice, 10 min. walk down to Gamla Stan and the all the sites -- with breathtaking views of Stockholm along the way. The Superior Double room we had was just lovely. Nice size for a European room -- gorgeous decor and a wonderfully comfy bed. The staff was as great as the hotel -- helpful, friendly, courteous. We will definitely go back!
