"This was a nice hotel. Beds were too soft but ok. Most of the staff was great but a cranky waitress and one of the front desk people could have been more polite. One of the young ladies at the bar was especially friendly and helpful. Good location very close to the underground."

Hobo Stockholm

8/10 Good
"The welcome at reception is friendly and they make you feel welcome. The bed is really comfortable ensuring you get a good nights sleep; the room is cleaned on request and you have to get clean towels from reception which isn't too much of a problem. There isn't any tea or coffee making facilities in your room which is disappointing. Breakfast is served in the room top restaurant next door that gives you great views across the city. Trouble is there is a very poor selection of food for veggies plus the tables are too close together which spoils the occasion. There are too many tables in the restaurant meaning that you're constantly pushing past other guests. Only other negative is the loud music played at the hotels outside bar seating area, you can here the thump thump of the bass until very late which may result in you not getting to sleep early too."
