It is a small hotel with small rooms and I feel the rates are on the higher side. I stayed in bigger and better hotels with that daily rate.

Everything perfect. Allowed very early check in. Room was excellent, clean and comfy bed. Staff was helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Breakfast was buffet style and so much to choose from. Made start of each of our five days so enjoyable. Nothing bad to say.

A boutique feel in a Scandic property right in the heart of Gamla Stan. Excellent location close to everything and very close to a metro station.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were very appreciative that our request, made just that morning, to have a room on a lower floor because of recent medical issues, was honored. The receptionist also tägave us great advice about where to get an excellent traditional Swedish dinner.
