Kungsholmen Scuba Diving Vacations

Our stay at the Birger Jarl Hotel was overall disappointing, especially considering the high price point and the distance from the main attractions in Stockholm. Despite the glowing reviews I had read beforehand, the experience did not live up to expectations. The location proved inconvenient: most of the places we wanted to visit, particularly south of Central Station and in the Old Town, were a good 30-minute walk away. For families or first-time visitors, I would strongly recommend choosing accommodation closer to Central Station or Gamla Stan. Customer service was underwhelming and lacked the warmth I’ve experienced in other Scandinavian hotels. The welcome was not particularly friendly, and the overall approach felt rushed rather than guest-oriented. Breakfast, while adequate, was not nearly as special as reviews suggested. For a Scandinavian hotel, the offering was standard at best. Guests arriving closer to the end of service should be aware that staff clear away food promptly, with little flexibility or warmth in their approach. Room comfort was mixed. The main bed was fine, but the sofa bed provided for my daughter was poorly thought out—a blanket and sheet on a narrow, elevated sofa. I was concerned about her rolling off, and it did not feel like a safe or suitable sleeping arrangement for a child. Ultimately, I regret booking this hotel based on overly positive reviews. While the hotel seems to aspire to a higher standard, in practice it falls short in terms of

Amazing location, great and caring staff, very good morning breakfast, spacious room, very comfortable bed. The hotel decorated and designed veryinteresting, it has it own character. There is absolutely nothing not to like about the place , if visiting Stockholm again, definitely will stay in this hotel. The only draw back (and for whatever reasons nobody mentioned this) there is almost no closets or shelves so we kept al our clothes inside the suitcases and took what we needed, which were somewhat inconvenient.

Very charming hotel.

Interesting hotel in a great location with pleasant staff

Clarion hotel is an amazing hotel, with great dining options. This hotel is kid friendly with a spa that they can also go to.

Love the location and the restaurant. Beautiful building. Shops nearby. Gym was not reachable by elevator, problematic for those who can’t climb stairs (I can’t). Room was a little musty and small. Unfortunately no upgrades were available.

Quirky small hotel with friendly staff in a great location. Food is not great at the hotel but breakfast was included. They need new rugs and to do better at dusting (out lamp was a literal feather duster

Very nice place. Small rooms but nice beds and the staff at front desk were very accommodating. Especially Andrea, she was very helpful.
