Comfortable, stylish hotel with good location
We visited in October and the hotel provided a very warm and comfortable base in a great location. The bathroom was a bit small but spotlessly clean, the bed was very comfy and there’s a great selection of free DVDs on offer (if you have time to watch them). The hotel’s cafe is always buzzing and so a bit crowded when trying to get breakfast with kids - but a vibrant and chilled atmosphere. The buffet breakfast is very good - best value if you have a large appetite. Sodermalm is a only a short walk from Gamla Stan and central Stockholm and you’re close to a metro stop. It’s a good base - young and quite trendy with lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay here again if we go back to Stockholm.

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!
Traveller's tip on dining
The Pelican is in walking distance and served delicious traditional Swedish fare in an interesting setting. Very large portions!
