“Fantastic hotel. Would recommend.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed at Hotel Skeppsholmen in October for 5 nights and both thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We liked smaller, boutique, design styled hotels and this was one reason why we chose this hotel.

The hotel is relatively new and is very well presented. Modern, clean and beautiful rooms within a gorgeous 17th century building. We were upgraded to a larger room as we had booked for 5 nights and the additional space was appreciated.

The bed was very comfy and neither of us had any issues sleep. The shower was good and I am advised, by my better half, that the bathroom amenities were very impressive! There was also free wifi throughout the hotel - something I believe all hotels should offer.

Breakfast was included within the price and was an impressive selection of cereals, breads, fruit together with hot food. During the week the breakfast area was relatively quiet and peaceful but it did get busier at weekends. Given the hotels location there is not a nearby option for something alternative which made the breakfast even that much more appreciated.

We ate at the hotel restaurant one evening and were impressed with the selection on offer. It was also well priced in comparison to city centre restaurants.

For getting about Stockholm we used both the bus that stopped outside the hotel and the bus-boat service that took us to Slussen. The only pity is that the bus service stops early in the evening.

There is plenty to do on the island itself and we also enjoyed the walk to the mainland which doesn't take long. It was nice to return to the hotel after a days sightseeing, a lovely dinner somewhere to a quiet drink on the hotels terrace.

The hotel is not particularly cheap but we both felt it was worth the price and if we were ever to return to Sweden would most definitely return to the hotel.

Room Tip: We didn't have a sea-view room and I don't think we would pay the extra for one. It may be w...

Dear Guest,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this long and wonderful review!
So glad to read you enjoyed everything from our location, restaurant to our sleek Scandinavian design in these historical buildings from 1699.
You have to come back in summer and then you will have breakfast in our garden, you can play tennis on our outdoor tennis court and you can rent city bikes and see our amazing capital on a bike.
Best and I hope I will have the pleasure to welcome you back in person next time you will visit Stockholm.

“very special place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This is an exceptional hotel. While you are in the midst of Stockholm, it feels as if you are far away in the countryside. It is very quiet here. The rooms are huge and the bathrooms extremely stylish. The food is superb. I haven't had a better meal anywhere in Stockhholm. This place is a gem - a real find and worth the splurge.

Room Tip: I stayed in room 170 on the top floor with a spectacular view.

“A little piece of heaven in a beautiful part of Stockholm...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We travelled here and stayed for 3 nights in January 2012 after choosing the hotel on tripadvisor. This hotel deserves all the good reviews it gets. Located on a small island you feel as if you are a million miles from the city yet it is only a 10 minute walk and you are in the heart of Stockholm.
Breakfasts are amazing. All beautifully laid out with something for everyone. Also, served until 11.30 am at the weekend so if you fancied a lie in it would be no problem.
Rooms are tastefully decorated, minimalist in a trendy way with lovely bedlinen and bathrooms are lovely with an amazing shower and nice toiletries supplied. Our only criticism would be there should be tea/coffee making facilities in the room.
A real delight to find this hotel. The attention to detail is second to none with exceptional staff.
Book this - you will not be disappointed!

Room Tip: Ask for one with a view although ours was on the back and did not bother us as all are quiet.

It was nice to stay somewhere so calm and with the city close enough if you wanted it, The room we stayed in had a lovely view and was really clean. modern in style and i would personally prefer a more traditional feel to an old building such as this but it was very comfortable. Close to Museums and beautiful location. I Can imagine it is amazing to be there in the summer. The food was nice, The staff were really friendly, Great Breakfast!! would definitely stay again.

Freindly staff and nice historical buildings converted into a design hotel. The breakfast (included in room price) was excellent, with local high-class eco item from a buffet. Had a very good dining with the special for the evening - not in the meny - nice fish. This hotel gives you better value for money if you are able the half mile extra!
