Terrible smell. Can hear toilets flushing from other rooms. The smell remained on my clothes. Amazing front desk receptionist who did everything she could to accommodate, but nothing was available that did not stink. I do not recommend staying here during your time in Stockholm, and seek other more ventilated and modern options.

The room was extremely small, with a low, curved ceiling that made it difficult to stand comfortably. There was virtually no space to store our bags, so everything felt cluttered and in the way. The room didn’t have a private shower, so we had to use the communal facilities. Overall, it felt less like a hotel and more like a poorly maintained hostel. We ultimately booked another place for the rest of our stay. The only positive was its excellent, central location.

Good for the price. Great location. I liked door systems with codes, so no interaction with the reception was needed. However, there were no basic amenities except for soap. The rooms are compact, with limited storage space and minimal surfaces for belongings. Beds offer medium comfort. Heating works well in autumn, but in summer, street noise could be an issue due to the proximity to the road.

It is not worth booking this place

Horrible experience. Got to the hotel, the code that they sent was wrong and couldn’t get into the room. I called the emergency number and tried for an hour, no one picked up. It was 11pm so we were stranded in Stockholm for the night as we couldn’t get another place as a walk-in. Don’t bother and book another place. They also never called back the next day to apologize or anything.

The Front Desk person was the highlight of my stay. He was super sweet and helpful.

The Hotel is - in all honesty - the worst place I’ve ever stayed in. The towels were very very clean - but no wash cloths were provided.

No heat in the room although outside it was in the low 40’s. Welcome to a freezing cold toilet seat each morning and having to bundle up to go to bed.

Bed, sheets, comforter were so cheap and were not the right size for the mattress.

I had to ask for soap for the bathroom. The containers in the bathroom were empty.

The curtains in the room were so shabby and stained and falling off the hook.

There is NO money being put into making the Hotel look nice. It’s a DUMP. So sorry I wasted my money on this sad sad sad hotel.

Really more like a hostel. Very, very basic (shared bathrooms - not always the cleanest; no mirror in the room???; could hear people talking through the wall/vent). Just very basic for what I feel I paid for it. Staff were friendly but sometimes were not around; had to wait to check in because they just weren’t there (for a good half hour). It’s fine if you’re going for extremely basic. Bit of a disappointment if you expect more. Still, it was safe and cozy enough and in a good area.

Basic experience

This is a very basic experience. The advertised queen bed was in fact two narrow single beds with a gap in the middle. Shampoo/shower gel in a plastic bottle on the floor of the shower. The toilet flushing was some sort of vacuum suction that was very loud, felt like I was on a boat. When checking in I brought up the bed situation, asking whether they had a room with the advertised bed. They took no responsibility for the incorrect information at all, stating \"I just work here\" and there was nothing to be done. Ventilation was poor, the window was locked shut.

This was not the place for me.
It’s conveniently located right in old town, and the bridges, so you can get to all the hot spots on foot.
But no windows. Extremely small room (ie no room for luggage or to even walk around the bed). It’s a very old building so plumbing challenges. And lots of stairs.
If you’re looking for something eclectic, this may be for you. But this place did not add any joy to my time in Stockholm.
(Also I was emailed the wrong code to get into the building and when I mentioned this to the front all she said was the right code. No apologies for me being stuck outside at night).

BRILLIANT BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

The service at this hotel was absolutely impeccable. The staff couldn't do enough for you. Just be aware that reception is usually only manned from 3-7pm. So there is not always somebody there to give you information. The hotel is located in an amazing position right over the road from the waterfront. Many of the rooms are subterranean and do not include windows! The building is almost 400 years old but the condition of the hotel is modern and lovely. The only annoying thing is rooms were incredibly small. I have come to expect that in much of Europe. I had a double/queen bed but there was barely any space around the bed. The bathroom was also tiny and the shower recess was around 40x60cm. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel for the location and the brilliant staff. Just be aware that some of the rooms are incredibly small but the trade-off is the location is in the old city which is absolutely immaculate and so incredibly picturesque.

I had a bad experience staying in this hotel. First, we arrived early morning and went to the hotel to just leave our luggage since we already knew that the check-in was at 3 pm. There was nobody in the front desk and just a note that said they will be back in the afternoon and where you can leave your luggage. Later, they called and told me that the room that I booked was not available since the bed was broken so they gave me an option to move to a room without window and no private bathroom in the basement or another one with window and bathroom but with bunk beds. I did not have an another option so I chose the bunk beds. The day of my check out I was not even able to take a shower since the pipes were clogged and the water was not going away. There was nobody in the front desk again so we had to call them and they said everything was fixed but it was not, they said they were gonna call me back but they never called, I had to leave without showering, TERRIBLE SERVICE.

Stranded outside at 9 pm with no check in.

Booked a room the night prior and submitted my email and phone number. When I arrived at 9 pm it was really hard to find as the entrance was located around the corner and not under the proper address given.

Finally finding the place, the door was locked and not even an entry to a reception. There was a note on the door saying “Will be right back. If you need assistance call… Johnny” Tried calling the number 20 times but it said “The number you are calling cannot be reached”.

Stranded in a city I don’t know, I had no option but to walk in to the hotel around the corner and get a room there.

Had an amazing experience and excellent experience at the other hotel so I am grateful for that and will just take the money loss for booking Hotel Skeppsbron.

So be aware of no late check in or assistance with this “hotel” see picture for their locked entrance. Should be named hostel instead when there’s no reception or lobby….

Simple and Sweet!

I stayed at Hotell Skeppsbron for over a week and was so comfortable during my stay. It is a simple hotel right near the water and across from an excellent bakery I visited every morning for their cinnamon and saffron buns! The amenities are simple - there is no fridge or anything to cook food with. Just simply a bed, wardrobe, television and a nice sized bathroom with a shower. It was perfect. Johnny was very kind and accommodating and there was always someone at the front desk if you needed anything at all. I would easily stay at Hotell Skeppsbron again the next time I visit Stockholm.

We loved the location! We didn’t realize that our room was in the basement with a strange configuration above a rock ledge with only a couple steps on which to put our luggage……and to crawl above them to get to the mattress! We had our own bath/shower which was a plus. Price was right. Front desk very helpful.

Great staff, but in need of updates

The location was very convenient and the hotel wasn’t hard to find or far from where I needed to be. I want to emphasise that the staff were great, they were friendly and very attentive and whenever I had an issue they got stuck in to resolve it immediately. However I don’t feel the room itself was fully worth the price I paid; considering the price (and no breakfast included although you do get a discount at some nearby bakeries) it was a little on the small side, the shower didn’t appear to be in particularly good condition (missing door fixtures, enamel worn away at the edges making it look dirty) and there was also a plumbing issue in the bathroom. Additionally, the furnishings like the wardrobe, desk and chair didn’t appear to be fully stable and were quite old, and overall I felt a little bit shorted from how much I paid for the room (although I do take the location and time of booking into account). The bed itself was a bit high for me to climb onto but extremely comfortable and I slept well, and the code system for the door locks was very convenient.

So in summary the staff were great and it was a decent place to stay overall, but I do think the rooms and showers could probably use some redecorating or new furnishings at the very least.

We got in around 7pm. Made contact with the man at the front desk who asked us if we had the code they emailed. Never got the code, but he kept asking 😂. After a minute he gave us the code to the doors. The email came in the next day. Overall a bit disappointed. The pictures do NOT give an accurate representation of the property. Side entrance in an alley. The rooms are extremely small. If you have a bathroom, it won’t be much bigger. TV didn’t work. WiFi was good. No place to sit except your bed. Only good if you just want to sleep there. Don’t expect any amenities (water, coffee, microwave, fridge, table, chairs, etc). The heat worked great. The decor is dated as well.

This is a no-frills place.
The staff was very friendly and helpful where it could (except for a little hick-up which was solved by another customer).
The TV only streamed free programs (unless you entered your own code, I guess) and did not show any regular TV. It is also located in an inconvenient place in the tiny room.
I discovered a hair dryer really high on the back of a shelf (I am short, fortunately my hair as well).

OK hotel if you have no expectations

Our first assigned room was way too cold, so we got a warmer room instead, but now it was too warm that we needed to run a fan 24/7. There is no air conditioning to control temperature in the room. Rooms are either too hot, or too cold.

There is no attendant in the hotel except 3-7 pm, and they place a box at the front desk where you can put a message for them. We requested towels because our shower was missing a door, and the floor completely flooded. Also, bring your own shampoo, soap, etc. because they don't provide toiletries. The shower head would not stay on the shower head holder, and we had to hold the shower head while we took a shower - very inconvenient. This hotel is not very well cared for.

Our messages were never checked during our stay for 4 days. They also don't leave any note pads or pen to write with. Anyway, they don't check or respond to messages. Once you check-in, you are on your own, which is fine if there is no issue during your stay. It is okay if there is no attendant. I am not looking for a hotel with amenities - but maybe they can put extra towels in the closet for us to use or something.

Our room also lacked some items such as a mirror in the bathroom. There is no mirror over the sink. It would also be nice if they put a hand towel.

The photos of the room you find on websites are very likely not the room you will get. They glorify their hotel so much in the photos. I will definitely not choose this hotel again. Poor value.

Unique place but no value for money

The hotel is very unique and has a wonderful common area. We booked a room with a private batchroom. The room was very small and had no windows. However, the uniqueness of the hotel compensated for that.

The location is very good as it is located within walking distance from Gamla Stan.

Although the bathroom was very clean, it was very noisy when taking a shower or flushing the toilet.

Regarding cleanness, it seems the cleaning was done only in places that are obvious to the eye. I dropped my charger under the bed and saw how dirty it was under the bed.

The staff was very friendly and helpful; however, the social distance measures were not properly implemented considering the current COVID-19 times. Therefore, I would recommend wearing a mask when coming to the hotel.

Also, we received the wrong entrance code and had to call the manager by phone to be able to enter the building. This definitely not an option if your phone is not working abroad.

We paid half price for the room and that was the main reason why we decided to stay there. Paying the full price for staying at the place is definitely not worth it.

Promising, but disappointing. Poor quality.

I had an in-suite bathroom, but the shower hadn't been cleaned, which made me think the rest of the room hadn't either. It was exhausted when I arrived, and put into a room with two twin beds, only later to realize that I had specifically booked a queen, and by the time I mentioned it there were none available, so I spent the nights with my feet hanging off the end of the bed. There were ridiculously loud noises from the plumbing's sump system whenever an adjacent room was using the sink or shower, which was at 4 or 5 in the morning at least once or twice. The shower was new, but extremely tiny, and didn't seem to be attached to the floor or the wall, so it sort of moved around the bathroom as I used it, and I'm a thin guy. I was told there would be breakfast, but went out at 8:10am one morning to look for it, and it was just three muffins that had been there since the day before. The location of the hotel is great, however, and the underground space made for a couple cool photos, so hopefully they find some folks that actually want to care for it.

If you like the bunker feel in a no-frills underground cell then go for this place. It’s location is great but it’s still not cheap. My room was tiny, and hummed with some machinery. I don’t suffer from claustrophobia but this place made me feel on edge. In the middle of my first unhappy sleepless night I booked a different hotel for my second night in Stockholm.

Great location and staff

The guy working the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. Made my stay more enjoyable and comfortable. Only issue I had with the place was that they were under construction while I was there. So after 9am it got kinda loud most days. But if you wake up early obviously this isn’t a problem for you (unless you were jet lagged like me). Oh and you may have a bathroom in your room, but no shower/bath (it didn’t seem like all bedrooms had showers either since there were multiple bathrooms too). You share a shower with the rest of the rooms. Not a problem for me, but might be for other people.

The hotel is housed in the ground floor and cellar of a house dating from the 17th century and sitting right on the water. The location was beautiful and full of history. I was glad to be in a cellar room without windows as the darkness was helpful in summer. It was also very helpful to have access to a microwave and fridge, and to be able to store our luggage during the day. It was slightly awkward to negotiate the shared bathroom. I was not sure about the decor.

Great little hotel which is exceptionally good value for money. Amazing location in Old Town. Comfortable beds, we had our own en suite and then shared a shower which worked well for us. Would highly recommend

The property is in a great location! Very unique being underground but can be a bit claustrophobic. Getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night is a challenge with opening and closing of the doors and the subpump noise from the flushing of the toilet.

Wonderful, affordable stay in Gamla Stan

This hotel is in the perfect spot in Gamla Stan- near the water and close to everything! It is beautiful - the room was wonderful and comfortable. I loved the lighting as well. The whole place is really beautiful and it's nice that there are bottles of water and coffee and tea and cookies available around the clock on a little tray in the hallway.
A couple of tips-- I would give is to maybe buy your own milk if you use milk for your coffee-- there was only milk one of the 3 days while I was there. The other note is that most of the rooms have a shared bath down the hall with 2 showers-- the mirror and sink are outside of the showers so you don't have privacy there. This is more like being in a hostel-- if you need to fix your hair with a curling iron in your room, in my room there was not a plug close enough to the mirror to see what I was doing. Bring an extension cord. Or a mirror that is big enough that you can see yourself while getting ready. But overall, for the price and location and the comfort, it's fabulous.

Quaint hotel in old city

Quaint hotel in Gamla Stan—lots of character and everyone was so nice. Very stylish interior and we loved the coffee and tea cart. Very clean! Had a bit of trouble with either shower door staying shut, but brought a hairband to loop around the inner knobs, which worked well. Great common areas to enjoy some tea or get some work done!

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I had a single room with a private bathroom/shower--which to me was very important.

I really liked the \"feel\" of the hotel. It is a converted old tavern that was funky and had a lot of character. I enjoyed the decor and the old stone stairway.

The wall texture and design in my room had a slightly hobbit hole feel to it and I liked the wall mural--though I was not certain if it was of a gnome and rider, or if it meant something more significant. I would have loved the backstory (if there is one that inspired it).

Also, once there, I was told that some thought the hotel (or maybe just the room I was in) was haunted. I wanted to know more about this! I love these cultural histories and learning about the stories that connect people to these special locations (it is why I prefer small, historic hotels to chains in the first place).

Additionally, the hotel staff were great! I met three and they were each friendly and helpful. I felt welcomed and because of some.of the precautions like the locking of the lobby each evening (coded key entry), it made it feel like a more secured hotel.

My only negative comment was wish that the lobby coffee was better. It was instant coffee next to a plate of cookies; it was generous to provide but since they are out on a table in the hallway you can't be sure how long they have been there or who may have touched them. I would have been thrilled to find a Kurig coffee maker and small packs of individual cookies.

A special hidden gem of Gamla Stan

This hotel is rather special - if you want huge rooms, go elsewhere, but then you would not be in Gamla Stan if you wanted that... this place resembles perhaps a hobbits den, but a very comfortable one, with tunnels under ancient brickwork and curved archways everywhere. Very nice and spotlessly clean, I didn't try many of the facilities, but slept perfectly, the rest is for next visit.

Enchanting underground 17th century hotel

This fairytale hotel is small in many ways. If you are a large person or feel in any way claustrophobic you should look elsewhere. The showers will accommodate a very large man with difficulty. However, that said, my daughter and I found this underground hotel absolutely enchanting. It was a stay within a storybook within the old city of Stockholm. Cobblestone streets and quaint buildings abound. This 1634 building is walking distance to Gamla Stan station which is just one stop from Stockholm central train and bus station (Hint - If arriving with wheeled cases, don't be tempted to walk through the old town; quicker to walk on the sea side of Gamla Stan along Skeppsbron (street). Case wheels, even for small carry-ons can be difficult to manage on cobblestones). The hotel is only in the basement of this building and only has about 11 rooms so you can be sure that you will be individually looked after. I highly recommend this quaint hotel where you will get a perfect night's sleep.

Brilliant little secret in Gamlastan, Stockholm

This is absolutely one of the coolest places we have ever stayed! It is on Gamlastan (old town) in Stockholm, which is just delightful of course. Then, the people running it were just wonderful, friendly, amazing. And the place itself is like some kind of luxury camping in an underground winery or something -- shaped white concrete walls that is just super-cool. The bed was comfortable, and the night was just absolutely quiet. Honestly, we can't rate this highly enough -- absolutely wonderful!
