A
charming
hotel
with
excellent
service
and
amenities,
as
well
as
a
great
location.
We
traveled
to
Stockholm
via
the
Viking
Ferry,
and
wanted
a
cozy
hotel
in
Old
Town.
Hotel
Gamla
Stan
turned
out
to
be
a
hidden
treasure,
and
was
much
better
than
we
expected.
Location:
It
is
a
30m
walk
from
the
ferry
terminal,
much
shorter
by
bus,
as
there
is
a
bus
stop
just
in
front
of
the
hotel.
Rental
scooters
are
in
abundance.
For
those
wanting
to
take
charter/tour
ferries,
those
moorings
are
also
just
across
and
down
the
street.
The
metro
station
is
only
a
5-10
minute
walk
away
as
well.
The
location
in
Old
Town
was
excellent,
with
bakeries,
grocery
stores,
and
restaurants
nearby.
Nearby
is
the
Royal
Palace,
along
with
several
museums
and
churches/cathedrals.
Amenities:
this
is
an
old
building
renovated
into
a
boutique
hotel.
As
such,
it
was
a
delight
to
explore,
with
narrow
passageways,
nooks
and
crannies,
intriguing
decorations
and
clever
architecture
needed
to
connect
three
old
buildings
into
one...if
you're
bored
with
the
look
of
modern
hotels,
this
place
is
perfect.
All
public
and
private
spaces
were
clean
and
in
good
condition.
Our
corner
room
had
a
harbor/sea
view,
large
windows,
and
very
comfortable
king-sized
bed.
With
the
windows
open,
we
could
hear
the
street
life
below,
and
enjoy
the
fresh
breeze
from
the
harbor
(the
room
was
quiet
with
the
windows
closed).
The
provided
robes
and
slippers
were
a
nice
touch.
The
breakfast
was
superb,
with
a
large
variety
of
local
and
continental
options,
including
meats,
cheeses,
cereals,
fruits,
yogurts,
crepes,
and
amazing
bread.
The
breakfast
is
served
in
a
renovated
daylight
cellar
with
openings
to
the
street,
which
was
a
really
nice
experience.
Wifi
was
fast
and
worked
without
any
problems.
Normally
hotel
rooms
are
pretty
bland/similar,
but
we
(ok,
my
wife)
were
impressed
with
how
well
our
room
was
decorated;
the
artwork,
wall
colors,
drapes,
furniture
and
carpet
all
worked
seamlessly
together
to
create
a
pleasing
atmosphere.
Service:
The
staff
was
extremely
helpful,
assisting
us
with
flexible
check-in/check-out
times,
and
provided
useful
tips
on
the
area
and
local
travel
options.
Summary:
The
rooms
were
very
affordable,
especially
considering
the
location,
and
we
feel
we
got
amazing
value
for
our
stay.
We
will
happily
stay
here
again
in
the
future.
