Ottima location
Pros:

Posizione eccellente, ottima colazione e personale fantastico, gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

Scale molto ripide per l’accesso alla struttura. Io avevo il passeggino ed è stato scomodo. Nessuna presa in bagno o accanto allo specchio per poter asciugare i capelli. No telefono in camera. Cestino per la spazzatura in bagno senza chiusura, un problema per chi ha un bambino piccolo e deve cambiare il pannolino. Luci in camera molo fioche.

Pros:

Suveränt läge nära till bra resturanger i Gamla stan och nära till Djurgården med färja. Mindre bra var rummet och övriga faciliteter. Ett badrum stort som en gästtoalett imponerar inte och inredningen tämligen sliten, sett sina bästa dar ok men inte värt 3000 SEK vi betalade per natt

Täydellinen sijainti kaupunkilomailuun!
Pros:

Hotelli on viehättävä vanhan kaupungin helmi. Pidimme tunnelmasta ja sijainnista. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja auttavaista. Saimme huoneemme ennen sisäänkirjautumisaikaa ja se helpotti päiväämme merkittävästi! Lämmin kiitos siitä! Aamiainen oli erinomainen.

Hotel Gamla Stan is a nice and convenient place to stay for seeing sites in Stockholm and beyond.
Pros:

Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. They took time to help me plan my routes to different places I wanted to visit.

The room was just right for my purposes. Very comfortable.

Coffee and cookies in the lobby were nice to have.

Cons:

If you sleep with the windows open, you will hear some noise when the bars close. Like many old town sections of European cities there are many bars and other night spots. Good when you want to go to them, bad when you don't want to hear them!

Pros:

The location is excellent for a short stay. You can walk to a lot of sites and it close to transportation options. Josephine at the front desk is a treasure!

Cons:

My room was strange. It was a single on two levels. Very small with a small window facing a brick wall on the upper level. The night clerk was not interested in my arrival or helpful.
