Property Amenities

Relax in grandeur, right in the heart of the Old Town’s narrow alleyways, shops, hundreds of restaurants and bustling public outside. This 51-room hotel is in a charming 17th-century building in the oldest, most enchanting part of Stockholm, on a corner facing the city’s trendy Södermalm district and Slussen interchange.

Take time out to enjoy an afternoon coffee in the lobby, or during the summer months, on the cozy, roof terrace resplendent with flowers, with a view over the Old Town’s rooftops and spires.

The Hotel is on Lilla Nygatan (two streets across from Västerlånggatan) in the Old Town, some 50 m from Kornhamns Torg and 200 m from Slussplan/Skeppsbron. The Royal Palace, Cathedral, House of Nobility and Riddarholmen with its historical church are less than 500 m away.

If you’re arriving by air we recommend the Arlanda Express rail-link to Stockholm Central Station.

If you’re travelling by coach or train to Stockholm Central/Cityterminal, there’s an enjoyable walk (of just over 1 km, taking Vasagatan – Tegelbacken – Vasabron – Stora Nygatan – right down Tyska Brinken – left on Lilla Nygatan, were the hotel is just 20 m away), or take the subway to T Gamla Stan (exit Gamla Stan, follow Schönfeldts Gränd alleyway up to Lilla Nygatan, then right).

If you’re driving, head for Slussen/Södermalmstorg, and then take Katarinavägen – Munkbroleden – Munkbrogatan – Lilla Nygatan. Remember that you can leave your car outside the Hotel for a maximum of five minutes. On most days, there’s an external car pick-up service available for a fee, or you can park in the OK/Q8 car park at Slussen (some 500 m away) or along Skeppsbron (also some 500 m away).

The entrance to Gamla Stan subway station is just some 100 m from the Hotel, at Mälartorget. Buses depart from Kornhamns Torg or Skeppsbron/Slussplan, where you could also take the Djurgården ferry. We recommend environmental taxis (Taxi Stockholm), which you can book from reception.

Dining

Although the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant/bar, there are hundreds of great restaurants, bars and cafes right on your doorstep in the Old Town. There’s everything from Michelin-starred restaurants offering unique culinary experiences, to classics and local taverns with great food for just over SEK 100, all just a short walk away.

Breakfast is served in the Hotel, while we provide free coffee or tea in the lobby in the afternoon. Please contact Hotel reception during your stay—they’ll be happy to recommend the best restaurants and help you book a table.

Entertainment

Staying in this Hotel is a real experience in itself. But if you’re looking for more, there’s some great entertainment close by. Just step out onto the street and take a stroll along some of the Old Town’s narrow alleyways, where you’ll find a huge variety of shopping and culinary experiences. The Old Town, with its origins from the mid-13th century, is one big living museum. Sweden’s National Cathedral, Nobel Museum and Royal Palace with its over 600 rooms, and an array of museums/exhibitions including the Royal Armory, are less than 500 meters away. Don’t miss the guard-mounting parade and daily changing of the guard at the Royal Palace. If you’re heading for the Palace, you could head past Järntorget, where you’ll find Mårten Trotzigs Gränd, Stockholm’s oldest and narrowest alleyway, just 90 cm wide at one point. Don’t forget to visit Riddarholmen with its amazing 13th century church.

In the evenings, there are plenty of bars and pubs all around, including the legendary Engelen/Kolingen and Stampen jazz club. If you’re trendier, Slussen/Södermalmstorg, is just 300 m away, which opens onto Götgatan with its exciting strip of restaurants and bars right the way to Medborgarplatsen, with Söderhallarna (including its indoor market) and plenty of outdoor cafes during the summer months.

A wide range of sightseeing trips are available from reception. If you’re looking for something different, why not try a ghost tour?

“formidable”

L'hôtel Rica Gamla Stan nous a agréablement surpris par son accueil chaleureux, la chambre spacieuse (malgré l'emplacement dans les petites maisons de la vieille ville), le buffet de petit déjeuner copieux et varié (digne d'un ****), son aspect traditionnel bien conservé ... Bref, à recommander sans réserve!

“Perfect location”

Lovely hotel - for the price it is outstanding. The rooms were of an adequate size, and our bathroom could not have been better with a walk in shower. The breakfast was plentiful, and offered all the usual alternatives, including bacon, egg and sausage, and there was a small Swedish table offering smoked salmon among the odd relishes and sauces. The location simply could not be better. Gamla Stan is the centre of the city, both geographically and historically. It is full of bars and restaurants and gets very crowded at night, but the location of the hotel means that few people go past late at night as it is not on the way anywhere. However, it is only steps from those venues, as well as being moments from the T-bana station. As others have commented, you can hear the trains, but it is just a low rumble that you do not really notice. You can easily walk from the hotel to the central station, to Sodermalm, to all the berths for the various ferries, and the hop on hop off boat stops a hundred yards away. We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to return if we visit Stockholm again.

“Stockholm Boutique Hotel”

The Rica Hotel Gamla Stan is a charming hotel in the old town, well located with very comfortable well equipped rooms. The breakfast buffet is excellent and well worth stocking up on as food in Stockholm is expensive. The hotel also serves very welcome free tea, coffee and biscuits all day and evening in reception. We visited in May and the room was very comfortable but as there is no air conditioning, in mid summer it will probably be rather warm, particularly in the front rooms as the sun comes in all day. But a delightful hotel and very good value.

“Loved it”

We were very pleased with our stay here. I am always amazed when reviewers complain about European rooms being too small. We spend very little time in our rooms, because we are out enjoying the sights. Why is room size so important? We found the hotel, and the rooms, pleasant and comfortable. The breakfasts are more than we expected, in terms of quality and variety.
