Hobo Hotel

I really wanted to like this hotel because how it was presented on their website. But I was disappointed. The room itself was nice. The bed is comfy and the pillows are okay. But what is really missing was the wall that should’ve been full of stuff. Like on their website. Nothing was there. It was just a boring hotel wall without art or anything. Also there is no central light switch. When you go to bed you have to turn off each light and vice versa. Also there is no storage for your clothes? I had to live out my suitcase. The bathroom size is okay while the shower itself was big. The problem there was that the glass wall, which divides the shower from the rest of the bathroom, was open at the bottom. That means when you shower, you flood the whole bathroom. And you have a nice rain shower head, which is super uncomfortable to use, as 75% is clogged. And when you wash your hands, the form of the soap will eat the whole sink. To get to the breakfast at TAK, you have to go to the ground floor and walk through the hotel lobby to take another elevator up, thats worth it, as the breakfast buffet is super good. And you get some real nice views overseeing Stockholm. Location is okay, but if you want to start your day further away, you have to walk quite a bit to the subway.

This is a really fun hotel. It's a boutique and has a fantastic bar downstairs that makes incredible brick oven pizza. My husband loves the rooms, there are very simple and have pegboards all around like you are living in an IKEA showroom. The music aspect of the room was incredible thanks to their relationship with Teenage Engineering. But as a women, I found the rooms a little too simple for the price. There were no tissues in the rooms, I had to use toilet paper. The soap for your hands and the soap in the shower for your body where the same. Which is normally not how I roll. The beds all dace the windows which I thought was a really cool touch. This is a cool hotel, if it's the right hotel for you. All the staff were super nice.

We had a wonderful staycation at Hobo Hotel Stockholm. One of the reception staff members who welcomed us in the morning was genuinely friendly and very helpful, as were the rest of the team, which made us feel welcome right away. The room was cozy and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The duvet felt incredibly crisp, and the bed was comfortable. I’m usually sensitive to the strong chlorine smell that hotel bedding sometimes has, but I didn’t notice that at all here, which I really appreciated. Breakfast was excellent, with a great variety and a lovely touch of Asian-style options as well, such as donburi with miso soup. Enjoying breakfast on the top floor with the amazing view made the experience even more special. We didn’t use the laundry facilities, but we thought it was a fantastic bonus that they’re available free of charge. The bar is also worth mentioning :) the handmade pizzas were delicious. The location needs no introduction, as it’s right in the heart of the city. I highly recommend Hobo Hotel for any occasion and will definitely be coming back. P.s one minor downside was that the remote control was completely out of battery, we couldnt turn on TV ..we were also lazy to go down to ask…😌

Nice hotel, really great breakfast - also if you want to try something other than the usual continental breakfast, its nice to try the Japanese one!

Fabulous hotel to stay in when visiting Stockholm. The location is perfect for all the sights, particularly Gamla Stan. Easy access from main station and metro stops. The decor and atmosphere is fun. Room was a good size and had in it everything we needed. The breakfast is excellent and is in a fabulous space with views and great selection of fresh food. I would highly recommend but do need to advise that on Friday and Saturday night very noisy from local bar and club. Other nights extremely quiet.

Overall an amazing stay! I would return. 9 I have to start by saying that Flo or Fiorentina at the reception Is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She was so kind to my husband and I during our stay. She was always there for help or to chat. Our room was upgraded to a corner room unexpectedly so that also made for a great trip. The breakfast is one of the best I have ever experienced in many years traveling. The view from the room top is one of the best you can get. My biggest complaint is that there are no overhead lights in the rooms. We went to Stockholm in October so it was mostly dark by 16:00. When we arrived in the room it was hard to see some things because the lights are dim even when turned up to the highest brightness. Like others have said, this isn't a hotel for the lightest of sleepers. They do have parties in the lobbies and across the street at a karaoke bar on the weekend.

Perfect walking distance from the central train and bus station, making it incredibly convenient to get around. The front-of-house staff were wonderful-friendly,|welcoming, and always helpful.|The room was warm and inviting, with thoughtful touches like USB ports that made charging devices easy.|Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and enjoying it on the rooftop with views over the city was a real highlight. Luggage storage was also available, which made arrival and departure comnletely hassle-free. Overall, fantastic hotel

Great ambiance, friendly staff, good breakfast. However. I'd only return if they had a functional heating system in the room. It was cold. Reception could not tell me how the heating controls operated, apart from it taking 3 hours to make a difference. That wasn't it. It hever got warm enough. And that is coming from draughty UK. Also I've lived in Finland. It should never be cold indoors. So. Don't go in winter! Thanks

Amazing hotel! The hobo is in a superb location. The front desk were so friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean. They offer luggage lockers for free also laundry! The breakfast was delicious as well!

One of my favorite hotels in the world! In an area full of food, shopping, and transit that gets you here and there, the rooms are exceptional.

Wonderful location--very close to the train station (5-blocks walkable). Rooms are super clean and different in their layout. Staff is great/super friendly and helpful too! The only small downside is no in-room refrigerator but they have a great bar downstairs that has a massive selection of drinks with fun bartenders!

This hotel was perfect for the Stockholm experience. It's located RIGHT next to an amazing burger place/mall area that includes a Joe + The Juice so food options are aplenty. The room was clean and organized in such a way that even though it was smaller, it felt more spacious. We had a little view of the city. The bed was comfortable and everyone was very nice.

Hobo was a boutique hotel I found when booking my trip in Stockholm and I was really excited to stay here based on photos I'd seen online. My overall stay was pretty flawless except my check-in. I arrived around 3:45pm and had to wait over an hour to get a room (check in says 3pm). They did comp me a free breakfast for the inconvenience though, so that was nice. There are little details about this hotel that I loved. For instance, each elevator had a unique design inside, so it was like a game to see which design you'd get (how come most hotels don't do this??). Also, they had a photo booth in the lobby. Inside the room there is a peg board where they swap out things daily that you can use. For instance, there was a Pocket Operator, which is essentially a beat maker. There are also film cameras (both SLRs and Polaroids) you can rent during your stay, which is super fun and cool if you don't already have tour own. As for my room and bed, it was comfy and perfectly sized for my short stay. The bathroom was a bit small but definitely manageable. The breakfast I had was a good spread of breakfast usuals . I think the price to pay is around $10-$11 USD and it would be worth it if you're someone who likes to fuel up at the hotel first thing. Should I find myself in Stockholm again (which I do hope) I would definitely book a stay here again in a heartbeat.

This place is very kooky and hipster. It has fun prints, plants, and retro decor (e.g. old fashioned typewriters and phones). We chose not to eat at their restaurant, as the menu is entirely vegan and vegetarian to fit in with their sustainability theme. I came to Stockholm to indulge in seafood and Swedish meatballs, so this was not for me. Rooms are microscopic, which my husband and I are pretty used to at this point, having spent a lot of time traveling Europe on a budget. However, our room didn't have windows, and this wasn't advertised anywhere! We would have definitely paid a little more money for some natural vitamin D and the ability to wake up in the morning without feeling like disoriented zombies. Since they're all about sustainable living, they only clean your room if you hang a sign on your door. I respect that, but we hung up the sign, and they didn't clean our room. It wasn't a huge deal. We were just annoyed that we had to request clean towels so we could shower. Nonetheless Hobo is a decent budget friendly hotel in a super central location. We were able to walk to all of the attractions in Stockholm.

Pretty funky decor inside a hotel in Stockholm's business district. Excellent fish dishes. Cod was delicious.

Outstanding boutique hotel. Very clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Free laundromat inn the basement. Which is great if you are traveling for awhile. We had a room on an upper floor with a view of the square in front of the hotel. Very quiet room. The WiFi is complimentary and very fast. This hotel is easy walking distance to everything orbit the tram.

Hobo Hotel was our home base during our two days in Stockholm. I was a little hesitant at first to book a hotel called "Hobo" but accommodations in Stockholm are expensive and this was by far the best option when we factored in price, location, quality, and style. And by style, I mean this place is hipster heaven. We stayed Saturday - Monday but ended up booking the two nights separately because there was a funky "Popcorn Sundays" promotion which enabled us to get free breakfast for 2, late checkout, 2 movie tickets, and a bag of popcorn for a very reduced price if we stayed on Sundays. This promotion didn't pop up when I looked up Saturday night alone. The rooms are pretty small but they work. I liked that Hobo has free lockers to use if you need to store your bags somewhere before or after checkout. The location was fantastic and we could pretty much walk to everywhere we wanted to go. And the free breakfast that came with our promotion? It was a bountiful buffet that we all enjoyed.

Hobo was trying so hard to be hip and funky they forgot to provide decent service. We stayed in a mid tier room which was clean and well appointed. However the room lacked some basics and the service was poor. The room didn't provide basic amenities such as tissues, or a fridge to store drinks or medicine in. The soaps/shampoos/body-wash were empty on check in. We requested refills but this did not happen. On check in the staff were rude and sassy with my partner, and when asked about local parking and amenities, replied with unhelpful and judgemental comments about driving a car to Stockholm. Overall the experience was very underwhelming. Stockholm was an amazing city though, so we made the most of it. If Hobo spent as much time providing decent service as they do trying to sell their products in the lobby, they might attract return visitors.

My review only concerns the restaurant & not the hotel. The restaurant has a great ambiance & a hipster vibe which you can feel already from outside. I went for lunch & they have dish of the day which was fish then. The presentation was over the top, the vegetables on my dish were flavored somehow really special that was tickling my taste buds & it was served on an out of this world purée. Amazing service, best high chair I've seen so far in Stockholm for babies & a very good bathroom/ changing table. The staff were very attentive even if this was their busy time of the day. Price was very fair considering what you get. I only wish their portions were a bit bigger, I wasn't quite full when I left but it's perfect if you are not used to big portions for lunch.will be back for sure!

Fantastic location for the city-roamer, pleasant service from the awesome staff in all areas of this hotel (cool texting system vs. in room telephones), thoughtful/colorful lounge space & bar, creative use of storage space & design in rooms (I booked 3 Superior rooms & the view of Brunkebergstorg square was worth it). Filling & satisfying Breakfast, easy & quick check-in & out options. Gym-Photo booth-Bicycles on site. Will return, would recommend.

If you understand what you are paying for, Hobo Hotel will definetely not dissappoint you: small rooms, limited (or no) view and a lot of self service. But also: fantastic design (same designer as Volkshotel in Amsterdam), friendly and authentic staff, awesome breakfast, great vibe and good facilities (fitness, laundry, etc.) this place is really a modern version of what a Best Western should be like in the 21st century. Recently had a business related stay here and it was more than worth the effort. Also, the location is fantastic truly.

The hotel, staff, and morning spread were all great! I definitely recommend grabbing a bite before wanderings in that the food is fresh and delicious. The staff was really accommodating whether we needed help with postage, towels, or directions. The room was clean, minimalist, and quiet. The only reason for less than 5 stars was the shower water does kind of leak out on to the bathroom tile. Nothing a few towels didn't catch. Overall would love to return!

Anton the bartender is a talent and the if you like arlo or any high concept design boutique hotel with an awesome staff and lifestyle amenities including bikes and a gym you will really enjoy your stay here. Fresh chia pudding among fresh squeezed juice is offered in the am and the cafe space is large a 2 levels including large work tables. I found it hard to leave locals even love the location there was a sweet baby shower taking place another plus to diversify not only a hipster clientele yet and incredibly international one. Note some rooms with discount rates may not have windows could be worth the 15 upgrade.

The room is literally the size of the bed, and there are no windows in the room. If you're claustrophobic, this is your worst nightmare. Plus, they charge you a 10 euro service fee for room service.

This is an amazing hotel that truly has done well with every aspect of the room and overall experience. I see that a few people booked the small rooms and complained that there are no windows and very small: note that the hotel actually provides a description that mentions all that. Further, the hotel's bar/restaurant is excellent! Our stay came with free breakfast, and that was a delight in and of itself! Other than that, we also went to the bar: definitely one of the best experiences we had in Stockholm! Our bartenders Alice and George were experts at whipping truly delightful drinks. They also had us taste many of Sweden's spirits that we would not normally have known to try. Talking to them was certainly one of the highlights of our stay in Stockholm! Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

This hotel is run by young "adults" which is what makes and ruins the hotel all at the same time. I felt extremely profiled against. My boyfriend and I don't look like cool hipster people and therefore we felt like we were not acknowledge because of it. We went sit at the bar one night next to all the hipsters and fancy businessmen and after 10 minutes the bar tender had walked past us multiple times looking right at us and not serving anyone at some points and still never offered us service. We went elsewhere for drinks. The bikes they have for rent weren't available because the locks were broken which I find pretty funny because I looked at them and they looked fine to me and there is a bike shop across the street. Go get new locks that's so simple to fix but nope bikes weren't available our entire 5 day stay. Our wifi wasn't working in our room at first and we went to the front desk to ask about it and the guy told us "ummm there isn't anything we can do about it." The location is fantastic though. If you have low expectations you might be ok here. But for the price I paid I expected a little more.

Relatively new, construction nearby, run by millenials who may be "authentic" but don't understand hospitality (well to be fair, many of them were very nice but it only takes one with an attitude to ruin it for the rest). No coffee machines available in rooms, nor in lobby, so you need to purchase at breakfast buffet. But if one of the workers is late, there is still no coffee at all available at 6am (or earlier) and no one is even sorry about it. There is only one treadmill in the basement gym so if there is a selfish hipster working out on the treadmill for an hour, you are out of luck. Rooms are very compact and views may be of construction site next door. If you want your room cleaned, you need to leave a sign on door by 11am but that is no guarantee the maid will see it (she didn't on one of the three requested of the five nights we stayed). The Ace chain in the US has a similar vibe but better executed. Oh, and the doors don't click shut automatically so don't be surprised if you don't need to use your key to get back in (at least nothing was missing).
