Stockholm Gamla stan 5-star Hotels

My partner and I tacked on some vacation time in Stockholm in advance of a work trip. We chose this hotel due to the location and ratings. We were extremely impressed with the amenities, utilized the sauna/cold plunge spa, and the decently appointed gym. We ended up getting in very early and were provided a room immediately. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We don't have a single negative thing to say about our stay. The only improvement would be better pillows, but that's just personal preference. The location is fantastic and there is much to see within a short walk. The National Museum is right across the harbor, church, Nobel Prize museum, Royal House, Parliament building, etc. You can walk about 20 minutes to the Vasa Museum, and the others in that area. Public transit is very accessible, even the ferries. 10/10 would recommend.

I booked a room with a bathtub for myself and my partner to enjoy a romantic weekend in Stockholm. A couple of weeks before arrival I purchased a bathbomb and sent an email to the hotel to ask about whether the room would include a single-use plastic bathtub cover for sanitary purposes. I was told that the hotel does not provide bath covers but makes sure that baths are thoroughly cleaned after each guest. Completely understandable. All good so far. However, upon arrival, I was bluntly told by a Mr Love that my room would in fact not include a bathtub since bathtubs are assigned randomly (this was not mentioned when booking the room). After telling Mr Love my concerns, I was rather rudely told to just accept the situation since the hotel was apparently overbooked anyway. The conversation did not lead anywhere and in the end it was suggested that it was my fault that I would not be getting a room with a bathtub. The cherry on top was that the room did not include toothbrushes and toothpaste even those items were promised: these items were brought to our room only after making a call to the front desk. Romantic getaway in Stockholm ruined by rude service and incompetency. Definitely will not be staying with Radisson again.

Although the room type is small, the facilities are complete and hygienic, the front desk service is professional and enthusiastic, the breakfast is rich and delicious, especially the hotel has convenient transportation, which is very convenient

Here’s an honest review 🏨The hotel is supposed to be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️star but it didn’t feel like one. Below are the reasons why⬇️ 1. The rooms are not sound proof. We can totally hear noises from outside and upstairs people banging the door (even though windows are totally shut). 2. They did not have complementary water (which I believe all 4 star hotels should provide). They only gave us after we called them the next day. 3. No slippers provided too, until we called and asked. 4. The shower and bathtub aren’t separated, and it’s slippery. I fell and hurt my elbow. 6. Lastly, I paid for a hotel where I can use their amenities for free (atleast that’s what I thought). Apparently, this hotel doesn’t allow their guests to use the pool and gym for free. You need to pay to get access. (300SEK = 200¥+) Such a disappointment! 🤬 It felt like I was ripped off 😔 On a good note, the location is great. 👍🏻 It is just a walking distance to everything like bus station, coffee shops, mall, restaurants, and tourist attractions.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights from the 3rd-6th June 2022’ Room- When we arrived into our room, it had a very comfortable double bed, sofa bed, good sized TV, good sized bathroom and plenty of charging points to charge my electrical items. I also liked all the Nordic toiletries and the design of the room. Facilities- Whilst at the hotel, we had breakfast in the main hotel restaurant.- Lykke. The breakfast buffet had a good selection of continental items (meats, cheeses), a few hot items and a good selection of breads and pastries. As this hotel offers free breakfast with their room rate, I felt the breakfast offering was very good at this hotel. On our first night, we had a few drinks in the hotel bar and it had a good selection of local beers and Gins. Location- This hotel gets a 10/10 for location- It’s near all the major sites, attractions, shopping etc. The hotel is next door to the Stockholm Central station where you can catch the Arlanda Express to the Airport. It takes around 18 minutes and trains depart every 20 minutes. The Gamla Stan (the old town) is around a 20 minute walk from the hotel and there’s plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. If you love ABBA, you should go to the Abba Museum. The Museum is located on the Djurgarden island and it’s around a 35 minute walk from the hotel. Alternatively as Stockholm is surrounded by water, you can easily pop on one of the ferries to the other islands. The ferries are frequent and are reasonably priced. I would also recommend going to the Vasa Museum. It’s about a five minute walk from the Abba Museum and it’s very interesting learning about the history of the boat- It was epic. Lastly I would recommend doing a Archipelago boat trip around Stockholm. The tour takes around 2-3 hours and costs around 345 SEK per person. Dining- Stockholm is also blessed to have a great number of restaurants in the city. If you are interested in looking for a yummy informal Nordic meal, I would recommend going to Bistro Bestick. The restaurant is around a five minute walk from the hotel and the food is fabulous- You should try the******** Loin and the Truffle Crème Burlee. If you are looking for a contemporary modern restaurant, I would recommend going to Rolfs Kok. It’s around a 12 minute walk to this restaurant from the hotel. Whilst the food is pricey, it’s definitely worth having at least one dinner here. The food is wonderful and you should try the Beef Entrecôte and the Ox Cheek- It was so good! Overall, I loved my stay at the hotel & Stockholm and if I ever came back to this city, I would consider staying here.

We booked a room for three people, and the hotel added an extra bed. The room was clean and tidy, cleaned every day. The hotel's buffet is also very rich. The location of the hotel is very good, only a 20-minute walk from the city hall, and the seaside scenery along the way is beautiful. Very satisfied.

We loved staying at Hobo (4 friends in 2 double rooms). It was our first time in Stockholm and the staff were friendly and helpful. They were able to recommend some nice restaurants and activities for whilst we were there. The breakfast on the roof terrace was beautiful and a lovely start to our morning. They allowed us to keep our bags in lockers downstairs once we had checked out so that we didn’t have to carry them round the town before our flight which was really helpful. Would definitely recommend especially if you are looking for somewhere welcoming and warm.

The hotel is almost 1km away from the old street attractions and 260 meters away from the airport rainbow bus. It is near the train station. It is very convenient. The breakfast is also very rich. The subway station is also very close. The room is not big and the location is good.

Stayed 3 nights, family vacation. I do NOT recommend this hotel to others! Noise from street at night (street cleaning, trash truck etc several times, each night) so we slept terribly every night. Extra bed for 3rd person was very hard/uncomfortable. During breakfasts, the staff was hustling and making lots of noise by setting up for lunch (which started as late as 1.5 hrs after breakfast was over!) and did not allow guest to sit where they wanted in breakfast room - not a nice experience at all. Questionable room cleaning: no spare cups, cleaner said cups in rooms were only hand washed in bathroom sinks by cleaners, and they did not seem clean. We had to hunt down towels and toilet paper, plus they had forgotten to supply bed and towels for third person in room upon arrival. Front desk staff generally not so service minded + not understanding/interested in being helpful - did not allow us to eat a sandwich in the lobby before departure ”because the hotel has a restaurant” - which did not open until 3 hrs later(!) Note 1: Short opening hrs for restaurant by lobby. Note 2: They do not control which person removes what luggage from luggage storage, so anyone could take what they want. Note 3: Fridge in (our) room was super tiny, with depth as narrow as a water bottle. Note 4: They might not pay attention: When booking, I sent a request + a question to the hotel; request was not taken into account and I received no answer to question. Location: Good area to stay in for family trip if want to include shopping, easy access to public transportation, walking distance to Gamla Stan and more. But would recommend other hotel in area, not this one. Overall: Not the hotel experience I expected from photos, info on hotel web site and prize. Will not return, and recommend the hotel to reevaluate some of its routines!

Stockholm can be an expensive city and this can be an expensive property. We paid a little more than i would have liked but I thought it was fair for Stockholm. Staff were great. The property is nice and we received an upgrade (diamond). There is a lounge and breakfast (we missed both). The rooms are a little small but typical in Europe. The wifi was good. The A/C was a little ify. It was late September so it wasn't a big deal but we had to open the window to help cool off the room. If you take the airport train and change at Central there is a subway station about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The property is not super close to things (except construction - it's very close to that) but it's not too far and you can walk to most tourist things. Overall, it was a good spot. as a reference point, a taxi to the airport was 50€
