The hotel was in a great location to go to the places we wanted to visit. The staff were helpful and informative. The facilities in the hotel were good and lovely areas for relaxing in after a busy day. It was quite noisy with our bedroom window open on one of the nights. Would definitely visit again.

Superb central location for all of the old town and only a 10 minute walk from the new city.
The room was excellent especially the super comfy bed.
Breakfast was a feast on its own would recommend this hotel to anyone

Beautiful apartment in a fabulous location, in the heart of the old town.
Very cosy with great views of the city and the nearby church tower.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast (included, and provided in the hotel's dining area just across the street) was delicious.

It's an acquired taste, not to everyone's liking but it's the second time I have stopped there.
Right in the middle of the Old Town and 10 minutes walk to the modern city. Nice option.

Great base for the many museums/boat trips and sight seeing trips. It was great to be able to pop back to the apartment for a cup of coffee and a rest mid-day if you wanted to especially with children. The choice of restaurants right on your door step makes it really easy to please everyone. This has got to be the closest you can get to living like a local. The Vasa museum and Skansen is a must.

Great location, perfectly clean and pleasant apartment.
It was a little cold on arrival, but just needed to wait for the heating to warm the rooms.
I was a bit unsure how the virtual check in would work, so perhaps a few more details might reassure travellers about the process, as it was super easy.
I would definitely choose to stay there again

Gorgeous hotel close to the waterfront, old town and shops. We stayed for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon and the staff couldn't have been kinder, even leaving us champagne in our room as a gift. Breakfast was delicious and served in the Art Deco style restaurant. A lovely stay.
