Stayed for a long weekend. Positives - Beautiful and well located hotel with plush interiors and youthful cool atmosphere. Bed very comfortable, no noise despite being on second floor and near the street. Live music and a chic crowd every evening we stayed. Bar at the front is lovely and I enjoyed my cocktail. Room was well proportioned with a nice view. Breakfast was very good. Negatives - We checked in to the hotel at the same time (as a couple), both submitted our ID so had our names on the room. 3 nights into our stay we got a call at midnight from reception. They demanded we give the full name of the woman in the room (me) as it’s hotel policy to know the identity of who is staying there(!) They were acting as if I’m intruding when we are both paying customers checked into the room for days already. They were so sure that I couldn’t possibly be staying at this hotel (we suspect we know why) that they didn’t even bother check the system before calling - instead rang our room in the night to interrogate us(!) The hotel did not apologise or explain. It made me uncomfortable. In the room there was also a large coffee table book of very explicit pornography (not artistic - graphic images of fully naked young women urinating with spread legs, and so on). We found this to be an inappropriate choice for a 5 star hotel

This was a fantastic stay at one of the premier Small Luxury Resorts! I utilized the free night reward from my Diamond membership and this was a wonderful use of the credit! The check in process was pretty smooth with Rebecca helping us throughout and allowing us to see several rooms that she could upgrade us to. We were thankful to select a room that satisfied our needs. It was really neat that no room was the same which I thought was a very unique touch with very unique art pieces and designs on the different floors and even each room. The rooms were well appointed as well with several luxurious touches and unique design features. Our breakfast was included as well which provided several options for an a la carte style and various buffet options too. During checkout, Nicole was super helpful and courteous as well to store our bags as we explored Stockholm for the day (the hotel is in a very centralized location of Stockholm with everything walking distance away) amidst even dealing with a difficult client beforehand. We were very grateful to stay here once again and I am thankful that we got to check out this wonderful boutique hotel!

A beautiful hotel right on the water in Stockholm. Fantastic location to so many of the shopping, restaurants, and historic sites. Very personable and helpful staff. Room was lovely and comfortable (sheets and bed are incredible!), but if I had to be nit-picky my only "complaint" is there is very little storage space in the room and bathroom. They have a lovely dining room that offers a wonderful breakfast in the morning (that I think is included with most of the rooms?).

They literally play US-based ghetto/rap music quite loudly in the afternoons. Last night (Saturday), it felt like the hotel was hosting a rave until 9:15pm. We could barely make our way through the crowd to the stairway. My earplugs did not suffice. No air conditioning to be found. Open windows and fans (that we brought) just ushered in street noise as well as cooler temps. The first floor bar is mostly closed. Luggage must be physically hauled up a flight of stairs to reach reception. While we are paying for a classic king room, we are barely surviving on a queen. A mere feathertop is the blanket provided. It was a push-pull situation all night. I ended up moving to the foot of the bed at 1 am to avoid my husband’s snoring (and he mine). I do not recommend if you like quiet. Never had a drink at the bar. Went to the Grand next door. Glad to only be here 2 nights. The breakfast was quite pleasant.

Perfect location to explore. We had a corner room with wonderful views of The Palace. I loved the bed and pillows were perfect. A quirky boutique hotel- you must explore each floors ‘photographic art gallery’- superb. Service was great and staff always willing to assist. We stayed for 4 nights and only slightly negative comments would be room storage- shower space was small and closet was tight.

To start I booked this hotel as its part of the Amex Fine hotels plan. In my opinion it should not be, it is not close to a five star experience that I was expecting.|Most times, I would say 95% of the time we get an upgrade with Amex, this time we did not. |It is not a fashionable hotel, it may have been when it opened 18 years ago but now the art looks old and stale and the guests are older American tourists. |It is located with a river view but not near many stores or cafes.|I booked this hotel expecting it to be quiet. The first night we had wedding music noise until 10 pm and the worst on the Saturday night a gangster rap vocal experience full of offensive words which made the walls of our room and bed vibrate!|I cancelled another hotel booking as they nicely informed me via e mail there would be music at night on the weekend and to expect noise.|I feel the hotel was trying to sell event space not thinking about the room guests.|I would not say it was good value, it was over one thousand US dollars per night. |The room was large and clean but nothing at all worked.|There was no space to unpack, no space to put your luggage, one tiny closet, no phone charging points or converting plug supplied, water glass came crashing off a tiny bed side table with too large a lamp.|One tiny bottle of water given each night and I was told to get water from the faucet. I do not find using a bathroom faucet near a toilet too clean.|The bathroom was connected to the tv speaker and you could not turn off the sound! So if one person was watching tv just the sound would be in the bathroom.. to me an odd choice.|The front desk people seemed to do everything, help with questions, give out keys and move luggage. Sometimes there would be no one there as they would be moving luggage.|It seemed understaffed.|The breakfast was fine. Run well. Basic but fine.|Bed sheets where nice, bed was soft but ok, blackouts did not exist just curtains that the light came in

Oh where to begin…. What a delight this hotel was, in every sense of the word. A gorgeous location, right on the waterfront and surrounded by colorful flower gardens. Central to everything and each room will have such views that one need not even leave their (gorgeously well appointed) room! The staff is next. Every person I interacted with was so warm and friendly. Oh and there’s a concert grand in the salon, delightful! Delicious morning breakfast served with views of the national museum. Next visit to Stockholm, I’ll surely be back!

I don't know about the rooms yet, but the food was exceptional quality, unique recipes even at the simplest of plates and I cannot believe how this place is making money by the food haha the portions were quite too big for that low prices! No words, new favorite! Thank you! - 15 years fusion cook, founder of "Greek Swedish".
