I had a very pleasant stay at Queen’s Hotel in Stockholm and would gladly recommend it, especially for travelers who value location and a relaxed atmosphere over luxury. The hotel is perfectly situated in the city center, within walking distance of most major attractions, with a metro station and all essential amenities close by. It’s set in a charming older building that is well maintained, which adds a certain character and authenticity to the experience. The rooms are quite basic and you shouldn’t expect luxury touches — there’s no minibar, kettle, or extras like slippers — but they are clean, comfortable, and well kept. Given the excellent location, this felt like a reasonable trade-off. One of the highlights for me was the lobby area. It has a very cozy and inviting atmosphere, with soft jazz music playing in the background, making it a great place to relax or read a book. Complimentary tea, coffee, and water are available throughout the day, which is a thoughtful touch. Breakfast was also very good, especially considering the hotel’s three-star rating — a solid and satisfying start to the day. I would also like to highlight the professionalism and guest-oriented approach of the management team. They were responsive, attentive, and clearly committed to maintaining a high standard of service, which left a very positive impression. Overall, this hotel offers great value for its location and atmosphere. If you’re looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay in Stockholm without unnecessary frills, Queen’s Hotel is a very good choice.

Quite unimpressed with this hotel. No A/C, no refrigerator, and the hotel doesn't have any ice available. Even a 1-star motel on the side of the highway in most places will have an ice machine; there's no way this is a 3-star hotel, not even close. 2 star would be pushing it. Breakfast is pretty good though and you can't beat the location.

Response from the property

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate both positive and constructive comments from our guests. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the breakfast and our central location. Regarding air conditioning, we would like to clarify that A/C is still quite uncommon in Swedish hotels. The Small Double Room you booked is one of our more basic room types and therefore unfortunately does not include a refrigerator or telephone in the room. We do understand that this did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your comments regarding amenities such as ice availability and in-room cooling options. Thank you again for your feedback, it helps us improve both our guest information and overall experience.

It's a old hotel. Room is ok but the door of my room was a bit malfunctioning so in the beginning I was not able to get out of my room for 20 mins. My room is facing the street, a lot of noise in the evening and morning. When big car pass by the whole floor shake. The shower is a bit hard to keep the temperature. In the morning the cleaning is very loud outside. Breakfast is basic. Overall I did not rest well here.

Response from the property

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay was not as restful as you had hoped. Regarding the room door, we understand that the handle may have felt a bit stiff, which understandably caused concern. When our staff checked the room, the door was functioning and could be opened normally, but we of course regret that the situation made you feel uncomfortable. As an older hotel located in the city center, some rooms facing the street can experience more noise from traffic and city life. We also appreciate your comments regarding the shower temperature and noise during the morning cleaning hours, as guest feedback helps us improve the overall experience. Thank you again for your review, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable stay in the future.

Great value for money and a very convenient location. The hotel is situated on a pedestrian street, close to shops, restaurants, and everything you may need during your stay. The area is lively, so there can be some noise during the day, but it was not a major issue for me. Overall, a good option if you are looking for a well-located hotel at a reasonable price

The hotel is in the city center, so it’s very convenient. The service is super nice, the room is comfortable and quiet, and the breakfast has lots of choices. You can come early to leave your bags at the hotel, and there’s tea and coffee.
