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:

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.

Cheap and no frills
Pros:

Good location in Gamla Stan; 20 minutes walk from the central station

Cons:

Tiny room (was advertised as 'compact' but it was so small that getting changed was physically tricky). Uncomfortable single bed with a thin mattress topper that slid off the top. Heavy room doors are very loud and echo; next door opened their door at 3 am and it sounded like it was my door. Couldn't work the AC.

Bra läge och fräscht boende, men frukost borde ingått.
Pros:

Bra område och nära till allt. Fräscht badrum och bra säng.

Cons:

Att frukost inte ingår tycker jag är oerhört snålt! Sen kändes det lite konstigt att inte någon personal fanns på plats om man hade behövt hjälp med nåt. Väldigt litet rum och ni borde ta bort bordet och stolen där. Fyller ingen funktion och är bara i vägen.
