Hotel Riddargatan - Stockholm, Sweden 

"Excellent location"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Stayed for one night before travelling back to the U.S. Very good porter service; upon checking in, luggage was swiftly taken to my room (was upgraded). The room was perfectly OK on the 5th floor, with all amenities. Double bed, separate bathroom, flatscreen TV and a desk. View toward the street. Quiet. I just passed the breakfast area, including bar, on my way out for dinner. It looked a little bit too sleek Scandinavian style. Could be done in a far more welcoming and cozy way, even getting non hotel guests coming in for a drink. Had breakfast in my room before checking out. Perfectly OK; Continental. In summary, the main advantages with the hotel are the location, which is excellent on a calm side street off Birger Jarlsgatan, close to restaurants & shopping, good service and an attractive room price.

Lovely hotel

Stayed for 2 nights in June. Overall good experience. Pros: Compact and intimate. Rooms looked recently refurbished. Excellent matress and sleep. Free wi-fi. Desk service was very good and responsive. Breakfast was just right, healthy and fresh. Location is superb, with close access to the trains, very short walking distance to the waterside, and city center, and an abundance of restraunts, bars and shops in the neighbourhood. Cons: Bathroom is too small (why do hotels insist on baths, which most guests rarely use, rather than install showers only?), my room was on the 6th floor, while the elevator gets only up to the 5th, so this may be a problem for older guests or those carrying a lot of luggage. Overall, at the right price this hotel is a great place to stay, and certainly better than staying at the expensive,impersonal hotel chains.

Really great location, excellent experience in general

Our family stayed in the hotel for 4 nights. Our daughters were happy with the roll out couch and cot and we loved the large, clean bedroom. Very lovely touches in the living room area (where the children slept), beautiful Swedish bookcase and lots of books about Swedish design under the glass topped desk. The room was very quiet. The location is excellent, the breakfasts were great. We watched a movie in our bedroom and relaxed after walking, what I consider to be Europe's most beautiful city. The hotel was part of a spectacular family vacation.
