Had a pleasant stay at the Hobo Stockholm. For the price, it was a comfortable stay, considering how pricey it can get. We were pleased to be able to count with the hotel’s free luggage storage, which enabled us to arrive early and spend some time out while waiting to check in. We checked in an hour and a half early to our relief. We had a windowless room, which was quite small, no refrigerator and no phone to call the front desk. Not much room to navigate around, but it did the job. The tv was unable to connect to the phone, so we were stuck watching random cable. I appreciated the hooks on the wall for hanging, and the small clothing rack. I will point out they had a sign which indicated slippers at your disposal, which were not provided. The bed was comfy, and the shower was spacious, although the positioning of the door in the shower made it to where the water splashed outside even when closed. They only clean the room upon request, and when we had our room cleaned, we did note our used glasses were still there, as were the used bathroom glasses. Likewise, the toilet was not cleaned, and the bed was made up with the same sheets. Essentially, the trash cans were emptied and the towels changed. It’s a decent budget stay, but there was some concerns with the cleanliness of the room. Decent security; using room key for the elevator makes you feel safe during your stay. Despite the staff’s kind and courteous manner, I would probably try another locale next time to get some peace of mind.

Brilliant hotel for Stockholm City Break. Great location close to shopping district, Central Station, waterfront, Gamla Stan. We had a great corner room on 10th Floor that was perfect for us - very quiet and blackout curtains meant we slept well.|Hotel staff were helpful and friendly and the breakfast was great.|I will definitely stay there again when I next visit Stockholm, and can highly recommend it

Very modern and trendy hotel, good for youngsters. The room was larger than I expected, everything was fine and even found a bottle opener in the room, so i don't have to borrow from the front desk in person. Breakfast in the next building, not much options tho but with a very nice view!

This is a really nice hotel that is one mattress away from being a great boutique hotel (bear with me here). The pros: The location and price (for the location) is quite good. Main train station and main subway line is about a ten minute walk or a short Uber if you have a lot of luggage. The room is typical European hotel—small and sparse. If you travel a lot in Europe, you’ll be familiar with it. Not a lot of amenities; again, typical for a European hotel. Staff was VERY friendly; the person working the front desk helped us get a room quickly after arriving early from a trans-Atlantic flight. Breakfast is nice, and is served on the 13th floor of the building’s annex. The walk takes all of 15 seconds, and you’re rewarded with a great view of Stockholm. The shower was a “large rain shower” type, and the water was hot and pressure was great. It’s attached to a mall with a variety of mall-like eating establishments; I’d recommend going to the pedestrian area just a block away. The con: Strawberry really needs to invest in some decent mattresses. The bed is essentially box springs with what is best described as a prison mattress on top. Every morning I’d wake up sore as opposed to rested. Be warned, this isn’t the typical European “firm mattress”; it’s a circle of Dante’s hell. Two stars for comfort, five for staff, 4.5 for location, so an overall four.

Amazing reception team and perfect location, but room cleanliness needs improvement. The reception team at Hobo Hotel is absolutely fantastic, especially Flore, but honestly, everyone at reception was welcoming, professional, and extremely helpful. They truly deliver exceptional service, and I want to give the entire team special recognition. The location is amazing, very central and within walking distance of everything, making it a perfect base for exploring the city. However, the rooms were not quite up to the standard I expected. They felt a bit dark, and unfortunately, cleanliness was a concern. The housekeeping team needs additional training, as the rooms were not cleaned properly. Overall, Hobo has a fantastic reception team and an unbeatable location, but there is room for improvement in room design, housekeeping standards, and cleanliness.

Beautiful hotel, excellent breakfast, comfortable and functional rooms and bathrooms, TV and music device included, very clean, excellent location, only few hundred meters from old town and royal palace and only few hundred meters from central train and metro station. Safe and quiet. People at reception desk were so kind and willing to help and explain.

Overall an amazing stay! I would return. 9 I have to start by saying that Flo or Fiorentina at the reception Is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She was so kind to my husband and I during our stay. She was always there for help or to chat. Our room was upgraded to a corner room unexpectedly so that also made for a great trip. The breakfast is one of the best I have ever experienced in many years traveling. The view from the room top is one of the best you can get. My biggest complaint is that there are no overhead lights in the rooms. We went to Stockholm in October so it was mostly dark by 16:00. When we arrived in the room it was hard to see some things because the lights are dim even when turned up to the highest brightness. Like others have said, this isn't a hotel for the lightest of sleepers. They do have parties in the lobbies and across the street at a karaoke bar on the weekend.

This hotel is quiet, the rooms are quite comfortable and the location is unbeatable, it is close to almost everything if you want to tour and get to know the center of Stockholm and the markets. But several points against because the cleanliness is bad, bathrooms with a bad smell, they also told us that the cleaning was on demand, we left the sign on the door asking for the room to be cleaned, Returning in the evening almost evening the room remains dirty from the morning we left. Three days in this hotel and it seems that we will never clean up despite having ordered it.
