We loved our stay! Fabulous location and the room had so much historic character but modern updates to make this perfect for us. The staff was friendly and helpful, even making us a bagged breakfast to go when we had to head to the airport super early our last morning. If I am ever lucky enough to be back in the area, I would look forward to staying with you again, thank you!

Charming old town hotel
Charming hotel in the old town. The neighbourhood is a bit noisy till about 10/10.20 when it is the quietest. This is a true 1707 built Old Town experience, with wooden beams and winding small staircase. There is no lift so if you are not able to manage the stairs, this place isn’t for you. I really enjoyed the stay. Check in was about 30 seconds long, and the room was clean and comfy. It is central for the Old Town. The only criticism is that i wish the curtains were more blackout. In the summer it is still light and the curtains are too think for that. Breakfast was great and the staff are so friendly. I would stay there easily again.

This is a very historic and charming hotel in the heart of the old city. I would refer to this more as a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel because there are only a few rooms and no real lobby/front desk. If you need to reach someone after 1 pm, you must do so by phone. Upon arrival you will be given a code for the door and your room key will be outside of your room. Rooms are all accessed via a very narrow spiral staircase; there is no elevator. If you foresee steps being an issue, request the second floor. This all worked out fine for us, but if you are expecting a full-service hotel, you may be surprised. Breakfast was served each morning, and fruit and snacks were available throughout the day. The room was very spacious with a decent sized bathroom (which looked recently updated). We loved the warmth of the room and the character of the surrounding neighborhood, which has plenty of lovely shops and restaurants. Gamla Stan is a great launching spot to see much of central Stockholm as well. We visited at the end of April, which isn't quite the busy season yet, so we truly enjoyed being able to walk into any restaurant or museum without any lines.

The Sven Ventaparre is an authentic older hotel in the heart of Sweden's charming old town, Gamla Stan. The breakfast that was included was a nice selection of fresh scratchmade pastries, made-to-order coffee (expresso, cappiccino, etc), tea, juice, yogurt, granola and fresh fruit. Traveler's should note there is no lift and a spiral stair case. We stayed on the top floor and it was well worth the climb. The hotel is central to everything and just a 10 min walk or 1 metro stop from the train station. A metro card will give you access to all city public transportation including buses and ferries. The hotel was a short walk to the ferry stop that takes you to the island with Skansen and many museums. The Vassa is a must!

Sadly due to COVID and the cancellation of flights we were unable to visit. We tried many times to contact the hotel to tell them we were cancelling but never had the courtesy of a response. The original booking had been on a pay-if-cancel basis, so we were not surprised when they charged us for the two day visit, but under the circumstances an opportunity to rebook for next year or some kind of consideration would have been decent. Instead they just took the money and never responded. Will never recommend anyone to stay with them.

The best part of the hotel is the very friendly and accommodating staff. Although the building is on a narrow street with no vehicle access, the location is proximate to primary attractions. This quaint building is over 300 years old, which unfortunately results in a number of substantial safety and convenience issues in my opinion. I could not recommend this hotel to any seniors with even minor mobility problems.

An amazing hotel from 1607 right in the center of Old Town Stockholm. Very steep and narrow stairs, but the personnel gladly offered to help with the suitcases. Room was small, but had a lot of character. Excellent shower and comfortable bed. Hotel is located a 5 min walk from the subway station and near everything in Old Town.

A gem in Gamla Stan
Hotel Sven Vintappare is a gem in Stockholm. It is a very old building, so expect slanted floors, tight staircases, and small bathrooms. None of this phased us, as we were more than happy to stay in a classic building. The breakfast each morning is served in the cosy cafe and is a delicious continental style. We loved staying here.

A friend recommended this for its charm and location but said it was "funky"--she was right! Every one of the hotel staff was marvelous--warm and capable and responsive. The breakfast was great. The bed was very comfortable but the room was so badly lit it was like we were living in the seventeenth century, with only one available plug. The hotel is very conveniently located, really couldn't be better, but the touristy neighborhood is so loud, drunken tourists shouting and loud, pounding music. If you're willing to accept these downsides, this is worth it, for its quaint warmth and fantastic hospitality.

Lovely old building if you enjoy the novelty of old town quaintness rather than 100% comfort. Be aware that the hotel lies between 2 busy streets, on one of which is a late night bar. There's a narrow spiral staircase with loose slates that 'clonk' at every footstep. And the bathrooms, on the whole, are wetrooms - bijou! Very comfortable beds and functional furniture, but needing some freshening up.

At the center of the old town in Gamla Stan, this historic building places you right in the middle of everything. Breakfast is very nice, rooms are spacious and comfortable, those who run it are lovely and helpful. Because it is an ancient building, the spiral staircase can be a bit treacherous, esp. for those with large pieces of luggage, although the staff is helpful with those. We had a lovely stay.

Old town style.
The hotel is in a great location in the old town. We wanted a boutique hotel and we got one. Just so different to the main stream hotels we often stay in. Room was beautifully decorated and staff friendly and helpful. Good self-serve breakfast too. If I was going to change one thing it would be to add black out lining on the curtains. Even without out the lower darkness hours in Summer the location of the hotel means that it is exposed to the street lighting in the old town which went off just as the sun came up. Also, can be noisy but that is just part of the energy of the place

This is such a special hotel to stay at! The hotel is over 400 years old which is so unique yet it is also so comfortable and cozy! Veronica made my girlfriend & I feel very welcomed with a warm, friendly smile and over-the-top service! She greeted us by inviting us in, served us coffee, stored our luggage as we arrived way before check-in time, she gave us good directions about how to find the Vasa Museum. When we came back later, she showed us the room which was perfect! We had an early morning flight so she packed us a lunch bag to take with us and she also arranged for a taxi to pick us up! We could not have asked for any better service. The hotel is close to all the cute shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to stay in a unique and memorable place!

The most charming place we stayed during our trip, A home built in the 1400s, with the most gracious and kind staff. The home has six or seven ovely rooms, beautiful natural light, but no AC. Definitely pack an eye cover as the nights are bright. Breakfast included, and served by the most delightful staff. Upon our arrival, it felt as if we were home with family And friends.
