Grinda Holidays from £363

Comfortable room with a full size refrigerator, stove top, oven… and a dishwasher. Convenient to public transport and plenty of dining options in walking distance.

The basic rooms are super small. The lighting in the room was horrible. The bathroom was rather nice, with heated floors. The breakfast was wonderful, great selection, fresh food, and very nice servers.

We stayed in the Casandra apartment across the street from the main hotel and absolutely loved it. Being there for a week, we so enjoyed having space to spread out. Everything was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet provides a nice mix of items. The staff at the desk and breakfast are friendly and helpful. The proximity to all Gamla Stan has to offer cannot be beat.

I booked the double loft room which was cosy but functional. There was not much space to move around but had a comfy bed and nice shower. Sadly there was no desk in the room as it was quite small and there were no real facilities to work from when downstairs (there is a restaurant on the ground floor). The staff did allow me to work from a high table near the entryway but it really was not suitable. There are other establishments nearby that you can work from (cafe / restaurants) and it was nice area to explore. The staff were lovely, very courteous and accommodating. The food was nice and the atmosphere in the restaurant was vibrant and interesting as a solo traveller. I think if you are travelling for work you would need to book a much bigger room but as a tourist it is a lovely quaint hotel in a great part of Stockholm.

The location is ideal, and the laundry was helpful amenity but there is a trade-off with early morning and late night noise level. There is a pub on ground floor so deliveries and trash cleanup in alleyway starts very early. They offer earplugs but not adequate if you intend on sleeping in.
