Hotel Kungsträdgården

This is beautiful property in a great location with easy access to anywhere in the heart of the city. But it was the staff (thank you Kiki!) the made our stay particularly enjoyable. We hope to be back soon!

Husband and I stayed at this lovely hotel – we apparently had the best room, 235 (see photos) and it exceeded expectations. It was sumptuously appointed, with high ceilings, and decor, furniture and fabrics all reflecting a bygone era of splendour. The queen bed was very comfortable, the bathroom spacious – with a full-size tub and a 2-person walk in shower, double sinks and heated floors, a couch at the foot of the bed and a separate seating area by the windows, 2 charming little desks with chairs served as bedside tables, it had 2 closets and ample storage space for both clothing and other “stuff”, and provided entrance hooks for the hotel umbrella and shoehorn, and our backpacks. They also provided face cloths – often absent in European hotels. There was excellent lighting and ample electrical outlets. The breakfast area and dining room are charming, and the breakfast provided was more than adequate. The hotel‘s location is exceptional, with the King’s Garden adjacent, IKEA around the corner, a tram stop about 50m away on the same street, the National Museum a 10 minute walk, and the Gamla Stan 12 minutes away by foot. It is situated in the heart of the city, but surprisingly quiet at night. One night there was a music concert in the Kings Garden and we were warned about possible noise and provided details in a letter — a thoughtful touch. The front of house staff were courteous and professional, but lacked warmth. The exception to this was one woman on reception whose name I did not catch - blonde, shoulder length hair, no glasses – who was just absolutely lovely and warm as well as highly competent! Thank you – I’m sure you and your manager know who you are! She checked us out on our departure on July 14. The only shortcomings to this room were: first, the couch and 2 chairs were not that comfortable; they were worn and one tended to slide a bit to the front when sitting on them. Second, the drapes were not blackout blinds. The sheers and thicker drapes, both together, allowed light in the room at 4 AM when the sun rose. That said, the hotel did supply both eyeshades and earplugs – while the latter were not necessary, the former were. Tips: 1. the National Museum is highly recommended – especially the exhibit of impressionist paintings by Hannah Hirsch Pauli, best-appreciated with the audio guide provided with entrance fee, and the exhibit of paintings and sculptures by Ernst Billgren. We spent 3 hours and could easily have spent the entire day there. 2. a 2 hour e-bike tour of the city on your first day is recommended to get your bearings, and visit off the grid places that tourists usually don’t see, including one with killer views over the city. Can’t remember the name of the tour company but the guide was Thomas and the meet-up place was 12 minutes walk from the hotel in Gamla Stan. 3. the tram is a great way to get around, and very easy to use because it only has one line. You simply use your credit card to tap in when boa

The hotel is very centrally located, which is convenient. Staff are friendly, breakfast is varied and offers good quality. The rooms had excellent beds. The rooms only have a "top down" cooling but we were assured that the building was properly isolated and this turned out to be true (outside temp was around 30 degrees centigrade but room remained cool). The shower in our room was fine but the temperature regulation could be improved. Also, it would be great if the curtains could be made thicker as in summer, the sun rises early. It is a recommendable place to stay.

Friendly and helpful staff and excellently catered breakfast in a beautiful restaurant/bar. Initially placed in 2nd floor bedroom facing the atrium restaurant, which had sufficient lighting but it was rather hot and I was sensitive to the vague smell of cooking, so the staff accommodated my request for a move and I was placed on the 5th floor in a fantastic single bedroom. The showers and toiletries were perfect, and I appreciated having a chair with a backrest rather than a stool. Mattresses are rather soft, but that was the case at another Stockholm hotel too, so perhaps it’s the common way here. The design of the room was really well thought out eg minibar door had a higher mirror on the inside and that area also served for a small hanging wardrobe and lighting was pleasing too. I had a view of the rooftops (but not really of the city) and it was so peaceful. Very convenient location to the T-bana as well as a stroll to Gamla Stan, an easy 15 min walk (if you are fit for the street stairs) from the train station and to the ferries to the archipelago. We also walked to the City Hall easily enough. The complimentary tea was appreciated and as a Brit who likes a Yorkshire tea, their Breakfast tea was a hit. We used the Arlanda Express to arrive into the city but highly recommend the Airflix bus for a return to Arlanda - cheaper and still with air con and quiet. Boat trip Tip: We were glad we chose the local ferry line 83 to Vaxholm rather than the poorly reviewed/rated and expensive tourist boat ride to the island of Vaxon.

Charming, small hotel in the heart of Stockholm. Very creative adaptive design of a former private residence. Close to shopping and sights. Could not have been more pleased with our beautiful room. The staff were kind, attentive and very helpful.

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location for tourists. The rooms were clean, bed very comfortable The staff, especially Kiki were so nice and helpful. I highly recommend staying here.
