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.

Pros:

The location is fantastic being in central Gamla Stan.
The tea making facilities were appreciated albeit one had to pay for coffee.
We were very grateful for the ability to store luggage from 5am as we arrived very early in the morning. The AI is responsive albeit it needs to be prompted correctly.
Check out was easy.

Cons:

Unfortunately the price is so high I cannot recommend this as value for money even with the very central location.
The room was very small.
The entire hotel is run by AI and potential customers may be uncomfortable providing check in information including the requisite personal data to such a platform.
The fact one had to pay extra for the coffee and hot milk facilities is not acceptable when the price of the room is already so high.
The included breakfast time window is limited being 09:00-10:30 and any party up early to see the city could easily miss it

Fiyatperformans eğriniz düşük yani bu fiyata daha kaliteli bi konaklama olabilirdi
Pros:

Konumu, sistemi, oda içindeki kullanım eşyaları örneğin instax, termos, bez çanta 👍🏽 ve ayrıca luggage room olması çok iyi

Cons:

Odadaki kullanım alanı küçük ancak banyo çok büyük, penceresiz kabin oldugunu biliyorum ancak havalandırma yetersizdi, sıcak su almak için bike coffee corner a gitmek saçmaydı, yorgan kılıflarının kenarları yırtıktı ve içindeki yorganın köşeleri pisti, tuvaletteki çöp kutusu çok küçüktü 3 günlük konaklamamda yeterli olmadı, arada oda temizliği yapılabilir bence bu konuda eksiksiniz

Pros:

Bra läge, bra standard på rummet

Cons:

Frånvaro av personal, att rum med frukost innebär att gå till ett cafe i närheten. Ok vid bra sommarväder men inte vid normal svensk vinter. All kommunikation med hotellet var på engelska. Deras incheckning var krånglig och information svår att hitta

Ciešami.. Apmierināja tas, kur atradās viesnīca - man tas bija svarīgi, vecpilsētā,
Pros:

Brokastis nepieprasīju.

Cons:

Ļoti nepatika tas, ka visu laiku sazinājos ar mākslīgo intelektu.
Tas bija vislielāksis mīnuss. Nebija dzīva cilvēka!
Vēl mīnuss bija tas, ka , lai arī nebija loga ( es to zināju), bet istabā nebija pietiekoši gaisa.
Un bija ne visai laba smaka ...

Helt okej som lägenhetshotell, men sämre standard än BOBW brukar erbjuda.
Pros:

Det var bra läge. Och praktiskt med dygnet runt check in. Stort rum med fullt utrustat kök om man behöver det.

Cons:

Entrén leder direkt förbi ett illaluktande soprum. Trots en ganska hög prisnivå ingen daglig städning eller möjlighet att få det vid behov (men däremot fullt med städvagnar överallt i korridoren). Jag har varit på flera andra BOB W runt om i Europa och detta håller tyvärr lägre klass än andra.

Parfait
Pros:

La situation géographique est parfaite à proximité de tout et dans le quartier historique.
La réactivité du loueur à chacune de nos interpellations !
La bagagerie le jour de notre départ
Les chambres sont bien insonorisées et probablement récemment rénovées !
Logement très abordable par rapport aux autres hôtels !

Cons:

J’avoue que nous avons eu du mal avec le fait qu’il n’y ait pas de fenêtres !!
Un petit incident de ménage mal fait mais le loueur a tout de suite proposé d’envoyer quelqu’un pour y remédier !

Pros:

Localização.

Cons:

Na diária diz café da manhã incluso, mas é somente uma máquina com café, se quiser café com leite, chocolate, etc, tem que pagar. Não há nada para comer.
O espaço no quarto não cabe as malas, havendo um local em outro andar disponível para deixar a mala.
O banheiro fica todo molhado ao tomar banho.

Perfect location!
Pros:

The location was perfect, right in the heart of Gamla Stan. It was an easy walk from the train station, and getting around the city was very straightforward.

Cons:

The room was tiny, and the layout could have been much better planned. There were no hooks for coats, no cupboard, and no shelves for personal items, so we had to keep everything in our cases throughout the stay.
