It was not clear to me that this was a shared bathroom hotel. It did not end up being an issue for anyone in the family as there was always a bathroom available, they were very clean and private. But I do wish Expedia did a better job at highlighting this type of unique hotel details

Perfectly serviceable lodging for me, two kids and my mom, for three nights. Best thing about this place is the location. On the quieter side of GS, but near the harbor and ferries. Close to everything you want to see. Room is fine. Elevator to bring your bags up. Reception was polite. We didn’t have breakfast. Shower makes a mess (squeegee for floor, provided) but it didn’t dampen our experience. Well priced, excellent location, would stay here again.

There is no lobby or reception amenities like we experienced at many other European stays, but that was okay. Staff was nice enough. Didn’t interact much since we didn’t need much. The room was a surprise in a good way. Extremely spacious and with a table and seating area. Lots of chairs for relaxing and lots of outlets. It was clean and stayed super cool. The location really can’t be beat. Waterfront bakeries within a few minutes walk and step out the door to be right in the heart of Gamla Stan. Worth it!

There are only two positive things about this hotel: its cleanliness and its excellent location. Apart from that, it offers very little to make a visitor's stay in beautiful Stockholm enjoyable.

The lack of a receptionist after 10:00 p.m. is a major problem for guests arriving on late flights or whose flights are delayed. The hotel simply locks its doors, leaving late-arriving guests outside with no access to the hotel and no accommodation for the night. This is unacceptable, especially when travel delays are beyond a guest's control.

Fantastic location in Old Town Stockholm. Parking very expensive but super close so it was worth it plus we split it three ways so easier to justify. It was very clean and I had to email a question about returning key since we left for the airport super early and the response was almost immediate. This really eased my mind. I highly recommend this place and would def stay there again if I travel in Stockholm.

Pros:
-good location in the old town
-nighttables and outlets at each of the 4 beds (quad room)
-comfortable beds
-spacious, clean room
-quiet area
-nice staff

Cons:
-in room bathroom is a small all-in-one and the floor was always wet, which was a bit gross for a quad room
-Squeegee hanging on the wall in the bathroom (!)
-no vanity or counter space in the bathroom - sink sits on a wooden plank.
-window curtains only provide privacy, not darkening (an issue in summer when there’s only ~4 hours of darkness)
-dated looking (old rug, white walls with minimal decor)
-old-fashioned elevator with accordion door
-only way to communicate with staff is email or going to the front desk from ~8am - 10pm (no phone number)

Like other small Scandinavian hotels, check-in later than 10pm requires coordination

My room was clean, quiet, had a nice desk and was close to several clean shared bathrooms. It's not fancy, and I kind of prefer that. Like nearly all hotels the lighting in the room was dim.

Public transportation Is a ten minute walk along the water. The hotel next door has a great breakfast and dinner - I didn't explore other nearby restaurants.

Fabulous location in a historic building with many original features. Landings were furnished nicely and interesting.
We had an en-suite room which was compact, very clean. Had a wet room with shower curtain separating toilet/sink area which did become wet when using the shower but a quick wipe over with the squeegee and was dry quickly.
Receptionist was friendly.
Unlike uk/other cities no kettle in the room for that morning cuppa 😕
Not sure how full the hotel was but was quiet and didn’t bump into many guests.
There are 2 entrances to the hotel the nicer was Nygränd which we used all the time, after initial booking in via Brunnsgrand.
Absolutely recommend this little gem.

Location, location, location! This hotel is so well-situated that you can really walk anywhere within 15 minutes or less - shopping, bars, restaurants, you name it. Check in was easy and the staff was helpful with things like taxis. The property isn’t fancy but it’s clean and comfortable.

There was a surprising amount of noise at night despite it being on a side street with no cars, so maybe bring earplugs.

I wasn’t psyched about the shared bathroom (not sure how I missed that when making the reservation!) but it wasn’t that bad. I never saw another person in there. Bring shower shoes because the toilet and shower are in the same stall!

Overall, I would recommend this hotel because of the good price and the excellent location. If you’re fancy, choose the en suite bathroom option or a different hotel ;-)

This is a nice stay, however, the windows are old and all street noise can be heard. The walls are thin, if you have a loud neighbor. It was also quite dusty. Not a bad stay, but keep noise in mind if staying here.

Also note there is a shower room, so you have to use a squeegee to dry the floor next to the toilet after showering.

Bad parking availability if you arrive with a car. Not in, but very near, Gamla Stan for walkability and shopping. TINY rooms. Our first night was with a shared bathroom that was large, multi-sex (Americans are not use to this!) that had numerous stalls, and we never had to wait in line. Our next two nights had a private bathroom which was nice but hardly any space to move or store luggage. Comfortable bed, but I had to climb over my husband to get to my side by the window.

We stayed here to visit the Christmas markets in Gamla Stan and it was great! Very easy to get where we needed to go and lots of dining options nearby. It’s truly in the heart of the old town. The building is old, which is fine, but the upkeep was lacking. That’s not a complaint, just an observation because truly it didn’t affect our stay. It just wasn’t the nicest place we’ve ever stayed. The staff was fantastic. Helpful and kind. Getting there from the train was a bit tricky with our luggage. We took a taxi out which was a bit easier. We’d stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Gamla Stan.
Go to House of Smörgåsbord for dinner just up the road. It’s the best local food we had in Sweden!
