The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Metro in Gamla Stan. A nice renovated old buildings with lovely, helpful staff. The room was very comfortable and a reasonable size. Price was certainly less than London. It is convenient to sights, shopping, restaurants and bars, but was very quiet. The breakfast buffet was extensive and very good. I don’t know how they do it every morning! The coffee machine tended to cause a bottleneck, but that was OK. The lift is TINY so beware if you have large bags.

Kiva vanha rakennus. Hiljaista, äänet eivät kuulu muista huoneista, tosin pyysin hiljaisen huoneen. Huoneessa oli lämmintä vaikka vanhat ikkunat hieman valskasivat, ikkunoissa oli myös paksut verhot jotka eristivät. Siisti kylpyhuone. Aamiaishuone melko pieni mutta valikoimaa oli riittävästi myös vegaaneille.
