“Ok, but nothing spectacular”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Excellent location above the department store PUB, right in the middle of the city centre. We had a room facing the pedestrian street Drottninggatan, so there was no noise from traffic. However, the walls are quite thin and when people are going in and out of neighbouring rooms (closing doors) the walls almost shake. There was also quite a draft from the windows. The breakfast had a large selection, but was very busy and noisy, so be prepared to queue and wait for refillments. The staff in the reception was ok, but they did not offer any extra information (for example, breakfast times, where the room is located) unless asked. The free wifi had quite a poor signal in our room, my phone could only get a proper connection in the hallway outside.

All in all, the stay was ok, but I expected a little more for the price.

Dear Jalokivi,

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.

We are of course sad to see that you were not satisfied with your stay in all areas, and we apologize for that. I would appreciate if you could mail me on sunniva.fallan.rod@rica.se so we can find out which room you stayed and make sure the internet connection as well as the ventilation is in order in that room.

We are however happy to hear that you liked the breakfast selection and location of the hotel.

We hope you will give us a second chance sometime in the future. Looking forward to hearing from you, and thank you again for reviewing your stay with us.

Best regards,
Sunniva Fallan Röd

“Bizarre beds, bizarre plumbing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

The plumbing banged all of the time, and the beds never stayed together for a couple to sleep in. We were going to find a hardware store and buy clamps to keep the mattresses together. Good breakfast. Nice area with a lot of restaurants nearby.

Dear Honeypot62,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay with us in August last year. The most valuable feedback we get is of course directly from our guests so that we constantly can improve the services and experiences we offer you.

We have since August changed parts of the plumbing system which has reduced the sound that can occur in a few of our rooms. It is one of the most environmentally friendly systems in the world as the usage of water is minimum. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this caused you when you stayed.

We offer different kinds of beds at the hotel, some are double rooms with twin beds and some with king sized bed. We apologize for not having offered a change of rooms for you, I truly understand that it must have been uncomfortable as you wished a king size bed.

Thank you very much for your comments of the breakfast as well as the location of the hotel.

I hope you would like to come back to us sometime in the future. Please contact me directly if you would like to make a reservation.

Sincerely yours,
Sunniva Fallan Röd

“Fantastic Location and Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We stayed here in December 2011 just before Christmas. The location is excellent above a big department store PUB and right in the middle of the shopping area. We were easy walking distance to the old town (Gamla Stan) the Vasa Museum and plenty of other attractions. The hotel itself is very friendly. The room slept 3 of us, a queensize bed (2 singles pushed together like most European hotels) and our daughter on a single sofa bed. The room was a reasonable size and we also had a chair and table as well as the small but very clean ensuite.
The breakfast is to die for - so much choice it was hard not to overeat. It offered swedish style breakfast as well as a more traditional affair. I would thoroughly recommend the hotel and have nothing bad to say about it!

“Great value for money in the heart of Stockholm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The location cannot be better, right in the heart of the city, close to shops and restaurants.

There were four of us in the room (two adults and two children) and, even with two fold-out beds for the children, there was still plenty of room.

The room was clean and warm and serviced rapidly. Wifi was free and quick.

The breakfast was good, but crowded, so get in early.

We will certainly stay here if we are in Stockholm again.

“Good location. Small rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

I was here on business. Location was great for the centre of town and also access to and from arlanda airport. Problem I had was with the bathroom in my room. Smelt like stagnant water was somewhere in the bathroom. I had the same smell the whole of my stay
