Came back and enjoyed my stay again.

The service by hotel staff was great. The room was clean. The room had a nice view. Breakfast offering was good. The rooftop area was a great place to go up to and have your breakfast or read a book. If you need a snack or coffee throughout the day (or night) the small lobby offerings were great.

Brian, 5-night trip

It is a small hotel with small rooms and I feel the rates are on the higher side. I stayed in bigger and better hotels with that daily rate.

Lokaranjit, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were very appreciative that our request, made just that morning, to have a room on a lower floor because of recent medical issues, was honored. The receptionist also tägave us great advice about where to get an excellent traditional Swedish dinner.

Although the room was on the small side, it was a great location, the breakfast was great, and staff were friendly.

MICHAEL, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great location in the old town of Stockholm. Rooms were a little small, breakfast was excellent.
Ian, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable & clean - perfect in cooler weather

Great location conveniently near the T but that means when the windows are open, for the rooms facing the street, you hear the T and it runs 24 hours. the windows, when closed, do a great job reducing the outside noise but the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning so in warmer weather it could be uncomfortable at night. We stayed in early October so it wasn’t a problem for us. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable & the reception staff very nice. No wash cloths in the bathroom so if you use them bring your own. The rooms don’t have coffee makers or kettles. There is a coffee machine in the lobby but guests need to pay per cup, refills are less costly but for the cost of the rooms we didn’t understand the need to charge guests for coffee. Breakfast is offered for a fee, we didn’t have the breakfast to comment about the selection. There is a small roof top patio with seating that we enjoyed. Gamla Stan is an enjoyable area to explore, a bit crowded during the day but very nice to walk around early in the morning & in the evening.

We loved our stay at Scandic Gamla Stan. Fantastic location. The hotel is a few streets off of the busy area, so it is quieter but also such a close walk. The staff was super friendly. Breakfast was wonderful!
Rhiannon, 4-night trip

Nice, cozy hotel. Staff very helpful.
Julian, 2-night trip

Robert, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel did not disappoint, in that it is historic, quaint, and super well-located in the historic area. It is easy to walk anywhere, close to public transit and easy walk to taxi stands. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. My only comment is that there was no air conditioning; a table fan in the room helped keep things cool enough to sleep, and windows open to let in the cooler night air, but it is a noisy, touristy area so we tended to keep the window closed. The only other thing to be aware of is that cars are not allowed into the inner part of the old city (including where this hotel is) between 11 am - 6 am daily, so Ubers, Taxis etc. must stop a few blocks away and you walk the rest. Not an issue unless you have big checked bags with you vs. carry-on. But overall a wonderful hotel that fits in well in this historic area, with superb staff, and a delicious breakfast buffet with a range of great food choices for almost every taste.
Heidi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location, 2 mins walk to the nearest train station. Decent complimentary breakfast, very pleasant and nice staff! Rooms are clean, the hotel itself is a bit older, the bed is comfy expect it makes this squeaky noise whenever I move. Overall, good place to stay!
Nicole, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location for sightseeing dining & transport around the city. On the downside there were no free tea & coffee facilities & only daily room cleaning by request.
Christine, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good little hotel on the edge of the old city. Convenient to transportation and walkable to many places. For an old hotel the room and bathroom were surprisingly spacious. Glad they have an elevator, small as it is. Breakfast buffet included was excellent.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely place with great staff. Just be aware it is an old building so there is a limit to what they can offer in facilities compared to the other Scandic Hotels nearby.
Michael, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location

Great location, lovely room, hot weather and no a/c but that’s the trade-off to stay in a 400 year old building with such charm
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay. Bed was amazing, super cute room! Great location to walk everywhere! Modern features with old building charm and in great condition. Breakfast buffet was amazing! Chef was super nice! Staff at front desk too, we loved it!
