Free coffee/tea and communal fridge/space

Categories

Cleanliness
1
Several reviewers said rooms were clean or 'gayet temiz' / 'rent fint rum', though a few noted a strange bathroom odor—overall slightly positive cleanliness with isolated issues.
Service
1
Mixed service signals: multiple mentions of very friendly staff and helpful manager, but some guests noted no reception, absent personnel and an unhelpful automated chatbot, so service is mildly positive but inconsistent.
Location
1
Consistently praised as an excellent Old Town location — 'perfect', 'väl läge', 'perfecta ubicación' and within walking distance of sights; location is a clear strong point.
Room Quality
1
Repeated complaints about very small/cramped rooms, limited maneuvering space, and noisy/poor sound insulation; photos not matching actual rooms were also cited — room quality is a significant negative.
Amenities
1
Amenities have positives (free coffee/tea, fridge, communal area, small extras like a polaroid camera) but guests missed things like a microwave and noted shower layout or odor issues; modestly positive overall.
Value for Money
1
Multiple reviewers describe the hotel as cheap/priceworthy and recommend it for short stays or budget trips — good value for money given the location and price.
Food and Beverage
1
Breakfast described as minimal (sandwich, bun, coffee, juice) and some minor complaints, though free coffee/tea is appreciated — slightly negative to neutral.
Overall Experience
1
Overall mixed to negative: many recommend solely for location and price, but persistent issues (tiny rooms, noise, impersonal service automation and misleading photos) lower the overall stay experience.

Een fijn hokje om in terug te komen als je van plan bent veel te doen in Gamla Stan
Pros:

Het fijnste aan het hotel in Gamla Stan vond ik de locatie. Het gaf een goed gevoel om te weten dat na een lange dag je plekje dicht in de buurt was. Hierdoor hoefde ik me ook geen zorgen te maken over de tijd!

Cons:

Het was ongewoon warm voor Zweden tijdens mijn verblijf. Omdat mijn kamer geen raam had, was het lastig om deze in de avond te kunnen luchten, zelfs met de aanwezige ventilator.

Tout petit studio bien situé
Pros:

La situation géographique est top, proche des moyens de transport et des points d'intérêt trouristques

Cons:

C'est petit, il n'y a pas de machine à café ni de table pour manger (table basse). Le studio est situé au 3e étage et l'ascenseur s'arrête au 2e.

Pros:

The location is amazing, loved being in Gamla Stan

Cons:

The 1 bedroom was super small for 4 adults/teens. Difficult to even have space to open a suitcase. The couch was very uncomfortable (as a couch)

If the entrance didn’t smell like trash it’d be a good value
Pros:

Room was fine, no fridge but I’d say it was alright for the price.

Cons:

The entrance smelled very strongly of trash and disinfectant.

Pros:

Läget, Läget, Läget - 1 minut från anrika Gyldene Freden - Gamla Stan

Cons:

Tillgång till rummet skede med tidur så gick INTE att komma in 20 minuter tidigare. Icke.

It was mostly good. It was rather expensive though since I did not have a window and room was warm.
Pros:

My room did not include breakfast. But I liked the location in Gamla Stan.

Cons:

I was told there would not be a window. This was difficult, since my stay was for several nights. And it was exceptionally hot in Stockholm the past week. A portable fan would have helped. It was confusing ( maybe because I’m not so tech) to get the key through my mobile devuxe. A lot of numbers to keep track of. I finally figured it out, but I feel that Bob W is geared more to younger techy guests. It was hard to find due to it being blocked by nearby restaurant. I was concerned that it was fraud at first, due to no check in desk. But it worked out in the end. Great idea, but perhaps simpler in check in steps and check out steps would have helped.
