An excellent central hotel
Pros:

Perfect location, quiet and very comfortable room, perhaps a bit small, but everything you need. Despite being in the center of a happening district - a completely quiet soundproof room. Good continental breakfast, otherwise - an excellent cafe and coffee place around the corner. The hotel charges for cappuccinos at breakfast, which was a bit odd, but oh well. The rooms were spotless. The common areas and the bathrooms in the lobby needed a bit of work. But- a lovely central hotel option for Stockholm!

Luxurious and noisy
Pros:

Lovely room, super comfy bed, great location. Helpful staff. Breakfast was good too

Cons:

It was extremely noisy. Lots of street noise until after midnight. Bring earplugs or ask for a room away from the Main Street in front of the hotel

Charming boutique hotel in Östermalm
Pros:

Housed in a building dating to the 1880s, this charming boutique hotel was renovated by its current owners in 2019. It has a distinct French flair throughout.

The vintage elevator was slow but added to the hotel’s character. Of the five rooms occupied by our group, no two were alike.

Our room featured very high ceilings and tall windows. It was adequately sized, with a spacious bathroom and air conditioning. The only shortcomings were the limited closet space, lack of hangers, and minimal drawer space.

Breakfast was very good.

Convenient location to easily walk to Gamla Stan but neighborhood is 'lively' at night (i.e. noisy)
Pros:

Breakfast was very good, a collection of the usually Scandavian selections. (but could have used more egg selections) The classic elevator was beautiful and an impressive achievement to maintain it in top working order. Rooms were rather spacious for the hotel tier.

Cons:

As others have said, the street is very loud. There are nightclubs nearby where everything kicks off around 10 pm local and don't wrap up until well after 3 am. A lot of people like to rev their cars up and down the street during this period as well. Also, we were there during another hot period and the air conditioning didn't really work, which required the window to stay open.

Härlig helg på The Sparrow
Pros:

Vi är jättenöjda med vår vistelse. Vi fick uppgraderat rum som vi trivdes så bra med. Så personalen gjorde allt för att göra oss nöjda. Så sköna sängar och god frukost. Läget på hotellet är helt perfekt för att njuta fullt ut av Stockholm.
