"Great hotel! Very comfortable bed and very quiet, great breakfast! Everyone was friendly. Nice gym! Great view to watch the ferries come and go. Very peaceful! It’s about 15-20 minutes by the bus to get into old town which is a quick easy ride. The bus stop is basically just right outside. We also walked from the ferry terminal to arrive which was only 10 minutes. Grocery store also at the end of the street was great! Great salad/healthy options to build your own, and affordable for options as Stockholm is expensive. We would absolutely stay again!"
