Pros:

Huoneesta puuttui jääkaappi ja kylpyhuoneen ovi narisi öljyn puutteessa. Reitti huoneeseen aika sokkeloinen.
Akakerran aamiaushuone oli oikein viihtyisä ja aamiainen erinomainen.

Ett mysigt hotell med fin atmosfär vid vattnet
Pros:

Läget är super. Sängen mjuk och skön. Personalen hjälpsam och det är skönt att hotellet känns genuint

Cons:

Jag gillade inte att min bokning via booking gällande dubbelrum var ett rum med gueensize-säng. Tack och lov löste personalen detta utan problem till ett rum med kingsize-säng

Pros:

The staff was incredible and it was very convenient for walking and getting around. The breakfast was very nice.

Cons:

The noise from across the street was outrageous, and they need blackout curtains. There's a space between the curtain and the wall and the fun sides right through It onto the bed.

Vi hade en jättefin vistelse och rekommenderar hotellet men var noga med vilket rum du väljer!
Pros:

Frukosten var fantastisk och väldigt mysigt ställe att äta på. Personalen i frukosten var duktiga och trevliga!
Läget är Fantastiskt och nära till allt som man gillar mest i Stockholm!

Cons:

Vi tyckte inte om vårt lilla trånga rum, med för liten säng som låg högst upp och en lite fyrkantig fönsterglugg som knappt gick att titta ut genom. Får man rätt rum och med ett stort fönster kanske rentav med havsutsikt så är hotellet en höjdare. Vissa i personalen var lite tråkiga och inte service minded, men det fanns 2 duktiga receptionister som visste hur man skall vara på ett hotell. Kanske hade de dåliga dagar och var stressiga?

Das Hotel ist nicht sehr teuer, aber es fehlten Standardausstattungen. Man ist sehr bemüht.
Pros:

Die zentrale Lage ist super und auch die Verbindungen der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel ist ausgezeichnet. Das Zimmer hat ausreichend Platz und ist sauber, ebenso die Betten.
Die Gastgeber sind sehr bemüht, dass man sich wohlfühlt.

Cons:

Im Zimmer gibt es keinen Schrank für Kleidung aufzuhängen, keinen Kühlschrank, im Bad ist für die Dusche kein Platz und Aussicht gibt es nur in den Himmel. Der Lift fährt nicht in den letzten Stock und ist daher für gehbehinderte Gäste nur schwer zu erreichen. Darauf wird nicht hingewiesen.
Das Frühstück hat eine gute Auswahl und ist gut.
Die Räumlichkeiten für das Frühstück sind für die Anzahl der Gäste zu klein. Kommt man zum falschen Zeitpunkt bekommt man keinen Platz.

Stockholm iz een mooie prettige stad
Pros:

Het ontbijt is zonder meer goed te noemen, veel keus

Cons:

De kamers zijn echt te klein, we konden onze koffers niet kwijt. Er is geen airco in de kamers.
We begrepen niet waar die 4de ster vandaan komt
