Hotell Skeppsbron

The only negatives was that it was a rather low entrance to my toilet and I hit my head. It hurt. And the wall to the neighbouring room was super thin. Could nearly hear him breathe. Other than that, really nice place.

Perfect location right in Gamla Stan, cozy and historic vibes in a house from the 17th century, very friendly and helpful staff and free candy, tea, coffee and cookies in our hallway for a late evening snack!

I had an in-suite bathroom, but the shower hadn't been cleaned, which made me think the rest of the room hadn't either. It was exhausted when I arrived, and put into a room with two twin beds, only later to realize that I had specifically booked a queen, and by the time I mentioned it there were none available, so I spent the nights with my feet hanging off the end of the bed. There were ridiculously loud noises from the plumbing's sump system whenever an adjacent room was using the sink or shower, which was at 4 or 5 in the morning at least once or twice. The shower was new, but extremely tiny, and didn't seem to be attached to the floor or the wall, so it sort of moved around the bathroom as I used it, and I'm a thin guy. I was told there would be breakfast, but went out at 8:10am one morning to look for it, and it was just three muffins that had been there since the day before. The location of the hotel is great, however, and the underground space made for a couple cool photos, so hopefully they find some folks that actually want to care for it.

If you like the bunker feel in a no-frills underground cell then go for this place. It’s location is great but it’s still not cheap. My room was tiny, and hummed with some machinery. I don’t suffer from claustrophobia but this place made me feel on edge. In the middle of my first unhappy sleepless night I booked a different hotel for my second night in Stockholm.

The guy working the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. Made my stay more enjoyable and comfortable. Only issue I had with the place was that they were under construction while I was there. So after 9am it got kinda loud most days. But if you wake up early obviously this isn’t a problem for you (unless you were jet lagged like me). Oh and you may have a bathroom in your room, but no shower/bath (it didn’t seem like all bedrooms had showers either since there were multiple bathrooms too). You share a shower with the rest of the rooms. Not a problem for me, but might be for other people.
