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.

Viihdyimme.
Pros:

Erinomainen monipuolinen aamupala. Hyvä sijainti Tukholman keskustassa kävelymatkan päässä kaikista tärkeistä nähtävyyksistä.

Cons:

Ravintolan liian kovaäänisestä jumputtavasta musiikista, joka kuului myös sisäpihan puoleisissa huoneissa.

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.

Erinomainen
Pros:

Sopivan jämäkkä sänky ja hyvät tyynyt. Ilmastointi piti ullakkohuoneen viileänä hellepäivinä. Ihana aamiainen:
Sopivan monipuolinen valikoima laadukkaita tuotteita esimerkiksi leivät, mehu, lohi. Huomaamattoman toimiva palvelu. Mahtavaa, että aamiaista pystyi syömään varjoisalla sisäpihalla. Hyvä sijainti, josta pääsi helposti jalan moneen paikkaan, mutta myös metro lähellä.

Cons:

Huoneeseen olisin toivonut isompaa matkalaukkutelinettä tai -penkkiä, johon saisi ison matkalaukun auki tai kaksi pientä laukkua.

10/10 recommend!
Pros:

Amazing hotel and location! Rooms are gorgeous, spacious and extremely clean. The breakfast & coffee was delicious and plenty to choose from and the hotel itself such as the interior and decor was stunning! The staff were incredibly friendly and professional they really made the experience 10 times better for us. It was our first time in Sweden coming from Ireland and we will definitely be coming back to this hotel.
