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:

La posizione della struttura è ottima. La struttura è accogliente ed è molto carina l’area caffè che hanno allestito.

Cons:

La stanza (senza finestra) aveva la ventola che faceva continuamente rumore anche la notte. Praticamente l’aria circolava attraverso lo scarico della doccia quando non in uso e odore e rumore erano molto fastidiosi. La notte abbiamo dovuto bloccare lo scarico con un asciugamano per riuscire a dormire.

Good vibes from people all around the world
Pros:

It is really central to everywhere. You do everything by yourself which was fun. There is free coffee and tea on the lobby. We really met nice people and liked overall the vibes of the place. It is the perfect place if you love to travel and use the room mostly just to sleep and take showers.

Cons:

We reserved a basement room for the cheapest price. Although I knew there was no windows on the room, the air conditioning of the room could be a little better since you cant even keep the main door open for air. But it did not make us uncomfortable. Also there is no hair dryer in the room which was the only thing I thought was missing.

Frister ikke å bo her igjen
Pros:

Beliggenheten

Cons:

Vinduene på rommet var i dårlig stand, umulig å ha vinduet åpen pga støy i ventilasjon når vinduet var åpent. Ingen bytte av håndkle, fjerning av avfall eller påfyll av toalettpapir. Ingen personale å se på noe tidspunkt. Veldig små rom med dårlig utnyttelse av areal.

Pros:

Det var nära och centralt

Cons:

Lite litet rum, saknade en riktig hotellfrukost. Tyckte inte rummet var prisvärt med tanke på frukosten på bröd och salt. Kaffe, 1 frukost macka, juice/smoothie, 1 bulle är inte så bra frukost

Pros:

Meget centralt

Cons:

På vores værelse ( 401 ) sad der en ventilation i loftet, som blæste meget kold luft ind i værelset. Fik at vide at den ikke kunne slukkes eller reguleres. Vi sad i træk hele tiden og lå også i træk når vi sov.

Bra läge, rimligt pris, fräscht o fint.
Pros:

Läget. Fräscht. Välstädat. Lugnt (verkar väl isolerat). Sköna sängar, kuddar o täcken.
Funkade väldigt bra med det digitala, receptionslösa alternativet. + även m frukost-partners (det var inte buffé dock).

4 nuits à 4, sdb privative, logement très bien situé, calme.
Pros:

Logement en plein dans le centre historique de Stockholm (gamla stan). Chambre pour 4, 4eme étage, une salle de bain privative + une cuisine ( frigo, plaques, vaisselle et four) + machine à laver et sèche linge en accès libre et gratuit ! ca c'est fabuleux quand on n'a pas une grosse valise ! 1 grand lit et 1 canapé lit côte à côte.

Cons:

aucun personnel présent sur site, arrivée et départ en autonomie : dommage de ne pas pouvoir échanger en direct. Mais en cas de problème, grande réactivité pour vous satisfaire. A savoir : ascenseur sur 2 étages uniquement.
