Stockholm Hotel Guide. Independent Hotels in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden

We had a great time at the Lady Hamilton. The room was very spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed the sauna, plunge pool and relaxation area. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was amazing! Perfect location to walk around the old town. We did hear the church bells, but it was not that bad.

We loved this hotel for its warmth and charm. If you need a modern, full amenities hotel, this is not for you. It is an authentic experience in the old town of Stockholm. John and the rest of the staff are warm helpful and freindly. European style breakfasts are so nice in the cosy breakfast room. The hotel is an original 1607 house, restored in the required way- so walls and floors are sloping and floors creak- you get a huge old brass key for the room. Bathrooms are modern and efficient, although small. (Shower is simply a curtain drawn around a corner in the bathroom.) My only improvements would be offering facecloths and bars of soap. Internet was sometimes off and on. Difficult for business sometimes. Much better for a romantic getaway! Excellent all around. Thanks very much.

Hotel is very convenient, centrally located, and yet very quiet. It met and succeeded our expectations.

Would not stay for more than a couple of days all about location

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary trip (only one night, as we were hopping around Scandinavia). Our stay started off on a great note as we were upgraded to the captains quarters by the very friendly front-desk attendant. The captains quarters were quite nice with a separate sitting area, bedroom, bathroom, and private balcony area. It was much larger than we were prepared for, knowing this was more about the experience than lavish living spaces. The yacht is well-maintained and we had fun exploring after we had checked in. In the evening, my wife really wanted some hot chocolate (it was a cool evening) but we got to the restaurant right as they had closed down. The employee went above and beyond and opened back up just to get my wife her hot chocolate. The breakfast in the morning is everything you would expect from a buffet. Admittedly, they start to all look the same after a while, but this had a good mix of hot and cold foods, fruits and juices/coffee/tea. We knew to be prepared for a unique living quarters - and we have been on cruises before. I must say though, the most unique/fun thing about our room was the shower area. The shower was in the same space as the toilet - just pull a shower curtain to protect the sink/toilet paper area and go at it. It was something that we both laughed about - standing next to (or even sitting on) the toilet getting a shower... odd setup, but just a necessity with the allotted space. Overall - highly enjoyable!

Incredible value. Incredible location. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom, this is the way to go in Stockholm. Very clean and comfortable. The staff were great (but note that they're only around until about 15:00 each day). The bed sheets aren't included but it's definitely worth paying the 65 SEK to get them. Breakfast was very simple but good : bread, crackers, cheese, jam, coffee, and tea. The rooms in the vault were a very unique setting.

Simple, low ceiling but characterful, clean, efficient system and couldnt be better location-very buzzy area: Restaurants and cafes abound and lots to see on Gamla Stan. Also can get ferry to vasa museum and rest of that island. It is 15 min walk from Central station to the apartment so ok with light luggage. No hotel staff as apartment and you gain entry via efficient entry code system. You just need to think what to do with your luggage on the last day as no left luggage system at apartment. Are lockers at central station and some museums. We structured our trip to visit the Nobel museum (2 mins away) on our last morning and was fine as we just had small bags we put in their lockers whilst we looked round.

Beautiful, comfortable rooms. Helpful, friendly staff. Perfect Location. This hotel is a must if you are staying in Stockholm.

Great location and quiet but on 3rd floor with no elevator so if you can't carry luggage up several flights of stairs, not for you. Pictures are deceptive - photos are from 2 different apartments and quite a difference in the 2 - now labeled "Standard" and "Superior". I didn't see that when I booked so we were expecting a wash machine (in the Superior but not one in the Standard". All the supplies are in the closet outside the apartment - weren't told that so had to request extra coffee, tp, towels etc. but they were in the closet. Standard apt listed for 4 max but that would be a real stretch - table was barely sufficient for my wife and I. All in all, I would recommend it for 2 people able to carry luggage up the stairs.
