The hotel enjoys a fantastic location near the metro station, making it easy to get around. While the rooms are relatively small and on the pricier side, the exceptionally friendly staff and outstanding breakfast more than make up for it.

This was my second stay at the Gamla Stan Scandic. My stay last year was perfect so why not try it again. I love this hotel. The staff is friendly, accommodating and very helpful. The rooms are small but totally adequate. There’s a great sitting area on the roof. Breakfast has everything you could want and more and the location is within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go.

It is a small hotel with small rooms and I feel the rates are on the higher side. I stayed in bigger and better hotels with that daily rate.

Everything perfect. Allowed very early check in. Room was excellent, clean and comfy bed. Staff was helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Breakfast was buffet style and so much to choose from. Made start of each of our five days so enjoyable. Nothing bad to say.

Walking distance to the Royal palace. Restaurants all around. It is right next to the sea. There may be some rooms facing the sea but ours was not. The staff was very friendly and gave us helpful tips because it was our first time visiting the city. Minor issues: It has a tiny lobby and there are some steps going up to the hotel.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were very appreciative that our request, made just that morning, to have a room on a lower floor because of recent medical issues, was honored. The receptionist also tägave us great advice about where to get an excellent traditional Swedish dinner.
