Långholmen Hotel Stockholm

The decor and the setting of the former prison are excellent, great value for money. Well equipped kitchen for guests. Yes, the rooms are confined, but that's the charm. There's a public beach just by the gate, and a large parking area. P.S. If anyone needed that information, the bathrooms have hair dryers, which is not mentioned in the facilities part of the hotel description.

I am glad we stayed at this former prison. The architecture and stylish is cool. The staff were friendly. I recommend spending half an hour in the on site museum. |You won’t stay here for the comfort of the rooms though. They are converted cells, so expect them to be small. They can be a little stuffy as the single window is small. |It is a fun place to visit and the island lovely to walk around.

This hotel is a converted prison that still has much of the historic charm. About a 10 minute walk to the Hornstull metro (red line), and a very good breakfast.

I loved the place, super clean! It's prison-themed! Super well-located! I loved it! I would come back!

Stayed here for 2 nights in a bunkbed room with my husband. Really cool hotel where your room is a cell. The room was small, but the use of the small space is used well. The details are also really cool, like the mirror that looks like a guillotine. We had a Cesar salad from tbe bar menu, which was delicious, but unfortunately never made it to breakfast, since the beds were just too comfy. The location is great, just a 15 ish minute walk to the closest Underground/ Tbana stop "Hornstull". Definitely recommend staying at least once! |Ps. Pretty sure the place is haunted, for people who are into that type of thing..

Ok by now you should have read this is a converted old Prison, so rooms are cell size. However the design is really good with our room using one and a half cells, also had a large window. It is very clean and we saw plenty of staff keeping up the standard. Bathroom well equipped. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the nearest metro, there are a few bars on route to the metro. The bar in the hotel are hotel prices but nice place. Breakfast was very nice, lots of choices with some different flavours too. Breakfast was very nice. Eat what you want and when done Return your tray/plates, this seems common in Sweden, or well the ones we went too. There is a nice quite feel to the hotel and the Christmas decorations really made this place lovely. The in house museum you can past away the time for an hour or so, quite small ask the receptionist for the door code. Bring your OWN KETTLE and brew kit as none in room

Winter in Stockholm is rarely super great - wet snow or freezing rain is definitely not uncommon - but the former prison island of Långholmen delivers regardless of the season. During the summer the island is a green oasis and you can go swimming basically just by stepping out through the main 'prison' doors! The hotel and the hostel retain the old prison interior but, of course, everything is tastefully modernized. Our hotel 'prison cell' (double compact) was tiny but neat and spotless, including the surprisingly spacious bathroom. Complimentary wifi worked mostly ok but the TV remote batteries were pretty much flat (didn't matter for us enough to ask for replacement). No facilities to make coffee or tea in the room but there's a communal kitchen available. Breakfast was included in the price and boy, some breakfast it is. Top notch, with extra super yummy stuff like almond butter and Långholmen special hazelnut spread! Attentive and kind staff all the way, too, so our winter stay was excellent value for the money. The prison theme is obviously very noticeable (understatement) but it has not been maxed out into a freak show. Much of the very dark history of the island is well documented and available to the guests today. There is also a small museum opposite the reception that's worth taking a look at.

Great stay at this fun hotel. All staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Beautiful location with easy walk to bars and restaurants.

Coming here in October wasn't the best time for the hotel or Stockholm, but I nonetheless had a pleasant stay. First of all, the building. It is incredibly unique for a hotel and was also the first time I have ever entered a previous (or existing) prison. The format of the rooms, completely embodying the previous prison, was really cool. The only downside that resulted from this was the room size. They were a little small, and the desk wasn't a complete rectangle, and a little impractical. The bed, however, was comfortable, with enough space, and everything was clean. I can't complain that much about the space, because I chose the cheapest option, but it was smaller than what I was expecting. As for the location, it is not bad. Its island had next to nothing to do. There is a football field nearby, but I am unsure whether that is available for public use. The restaurant adjacent to the hotel is actually very good and had a great lunch special when I went there (169 SEK). In order to get to central Stockholm, I took the electric scooters that are scattered nearby, which took me around 15 minutes, and was very cheap. There are plentiful restaurants nearby, as well as a gym where you can get day passes (only in person). I did not make it to the museum, so I cannot comment. The breakfast was less than thrilling. The eggs I had (which was my biggest complaint) were very runny, but also laden with butter, so they were super heavy. Not the way you're supposed to make eggs. The rest of the food wasn't bad and had a pretty good variety.

My family of 4 stayed here and loved it. We had the Hostel room w/ 2 bunk beds, located in the middle of the museum area. The shared bathrooms were very close, and extremely clean. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I recommend splurging for the breakfast - it was a terrific, healthy spread. The beach is just outside the entrance. The walk to the subway is approx 10 minutes. Yummy, inexpensive, kid-friendly meals available at the nearby kayak rental, and the pizza place on the way to the subway station.

A great hostel located in an old prison. It's obviously been renovated since, but it's hard to miss what it once was. The rooms we stayed in were actually converted cells. While they may be on the small side, they more than make up for that in atmosphere.

I really loved this hotel. Yes it was a former prison and yes the rooms are the size of a cell. The people that work here go out of their way to make you comfortable and for a foreigner I depend on them for a few things, speak English and help me navigate this beautiful country. Which they all did. Let's not forget the wonderful breakfast every morning. These rooms are small. But get past that to all room here are small. But the service is outstanding.
