Great location. Staff was friendly. Chef Oscar is the man. I saw all these reviews about the breakfast. I normally go to test the local fare, but this was too good and easy to pass up. LOTS of healthy options which I like and need. Big fan of this place.

Convenient for Gamla Stan

Clean & convenient hotel. Has an old school feel to it; quirky, small, old wooden lift for example! The room was dated, was aiming at cosy but felt like staying in a grandparent’s house that hadn’t been decorated for 20yrs. Weird pictures on the walls! Otherwise, great location for the Old Town, felt safe, staff weren’t that friendly but definitely helpful & the manager was great. Breakfast was a little lacklustre but fine.

This was my second stay at the Gamla Stan Scandic. My stay last year was perfect so why not try it again. I love this hotel. The staff is friendly, accommodating and very helpful. The rooms are small but totally adequate. There’s a great sitting area on the roof. Breakfast has everything you could want and more and the location is within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go.

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.
