We stayed 4 nights here in October '24 and loved it. Nice old building, our room was really good. Great bed. Loved the breakfast. Special mention for the chef for the delicious food and for being so friendly, charming and obliging. All the staff were really nice and said "Hej" :) Location is amazing, really easy to get to and close to everything. The area is lively on a Saturday night, but wouldn't put me off. We'd love to stay here again.

Friendly staff, great location and there are vegan options for the included breakfast.  The hotel is a few minutes walk from the Gamla Stan metro station, which is only one stop from the Central Station. The room was small, but big enough for me travelling solo. I would stay again. This is the second Scandic hotel I have stayed at, the other one was in Helsinki and the experience has always been great.

A brilliant hotel on the Old Town island close to everything. The single room I had was comfortable and small but perfect for my needs. My friends had larger rooms and were very happy though there was a bit of street noise which you can’t avoid. The staff are friendly and the buffet breakfast is one of the best I’ve had in Europe and has a dedicated vegan section and gluten free items. Top quality and great variety and FINALLY some good coffee!  Can’t rate this hotel highly enough.

Good place to sleep! Metro slightly noisy if one wants to have the window open. No bar or restaurang in the hotel.

We did not know that Gamla Stan meant old town, but we do now! Excellent service, and they even helped us book a taxi to get us back to the airport at the end of our trip. They have luggage storage for you if you need it. Beautiful and tasty breakfast buffet. We had to leave before breakfast on our second day there, and they kindly packed us breakfast boxes to go. Nice rooms that all seem to be different. Our mattress was a little squishy and pillows a little small compared to what we are used to, but other than that everything else was good. Fans are provided in the rooms for if you get hot. Our window opened up to a street below, which was fun. Noise did not bother us at night. Excellent location. We loved being in Gamla Stan.
