Scandic Gamla Stan

Excellent location, very clean, small boutique stylish hotel. Staff is very helpfull & friendly. Breakfast was plenty and wasn’t expencive to buy on the other morning too (24€). On arrival we had a long day ahead and got our room earlier than normal which was so nice. Room and bathroom was very clean & fresh - quite small but we managed perfectly with two big suitcases 😄

The room is very clean and i want to compliment the chef, Oscar who is very thoughtful and care about the guests, he made vegetarian sausages for us ( my friends and I are muslims ladies), the sausages are amazing and super delicious, better than the normal chicken sausages!! We can see that he is very passionate about cooking, he loves his job and care about the guests. He made my stay very pleasant as this is our 1st time in Stockholm for ladies trip! I love all the staffs too, they are very helpful and friendly! All of them made the trip to sweden very enjoyable! But if there’s room for improvement, i suggest to put some packages of tea bags n electric kettle if u can. Thank you! 5/5 stars! 👍🏻👍🏻

Staff were very friendly and helpful.|Room was standard size, perfect for us due to being out all day. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room was very warm but soon cooled down once the window was left open during the night.|Amazing breakfast buffet every morning. Such a good selection of food being offered every morning - the fresh smoothies were lovely! They catered for a range of different dietary needs such as gluten free etc.|Great location and easy to reach tourist attractions by foot or metro. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Rooms were a little small - but expected from the location! Breakfast, and the breakfast chef Oscar, were wonderful. Great location for exploring the city and old town. Beds were a little on the harder side, but more than good enough for our 4 day stay.

Such a nice and cosy hotel in the very heart of Stockholm. Easy to get by subway and bus- local SL transport also brings you from Gamla stan to the island if museums by a public ferry. There is a secret terrace on the 4th floor. Hopefully the plastic flowers there will be changed to the fresh live local ones for the warm season.

Great location- only 20 minutes from central station and in the heart of Gamla Stan. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious and they will make anything that you request. Great selection of vegan and gluten free. Room was nice and clean. Glad we stayed here

Excellent location - in middle of the narrow streets of the old town Gamla Stan; but still very close to the Metro-Train station from where you get quickly everywhere in the city. Actually quicker than if you were staying near the Central station, because the Gamla Stan metro station is small and all platforms easily and quickly accessible. ||I really liked my room - cosy hygge and stylish furnished. || stylish and hygge rooms

Perfect situation and whisper quiet, especially considering the location. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly the man who was on duty in the breakfast room during our 5 day stay. All the Scandic hotels we;ve stayed at over the last 3 weeks have been exactly what and where we wanted, couldn't fault them. Definitely recommend Scandic

We have loved our stay here: Magnus, Kamil (sp?), and all the staff go above and beyond to be helpful. The shower in our room is, no kidding, the best I've used in my 64 yrs. Our first morning, we anticipated a basic continental breakfast. Instead we got love: Chef Oscar and his staff prepare a buffet with eggs cooked in marvelous ways, meats, cheeses, yogurts, cereals, vegetables, fruits -- and more than I can recall now -- plus many delicious options for every kind of eater (regular, vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free). With such a good start, you can easily go without eating again until supper, giving you more time, feeling great, to see and do everything you want. Our room is small by US standards, but it has and does everything we need. We can exercise, get work done, and have slept beautifully. Everything important for a beautiful stay is in this historic building, located IN Gamla Stan and modernized enough to be squeaky clean and efficient.More

My wife and I stayed here for five nights. The front desk staff is excellent. However the room is small and the bathroom is tiny. It is in great need of an upgrade. Even a new coat of paint in the bedroom would make a big difference. In the bathroom it is hard to move without bumping into either the tub, the toilet, or the sink. The floor has a pronounced slope so if you drop a marble at one end it will roll to the door in no time. The futon mattress was not comfortable and any movement in the bed would shake the entire frame. One morning we had no hot water and had to take cold showers. The breakfast buffet was good but nowhere near as lavish as what we found in Norway for a comparable cost. The breakfast chef was excellent and very accommodating. Since the dining room was small you must make a reservation for your 45 minute time slot for every breakfast. The elevator was only large enough for baggage. The tightly wound steep stone stairs to our 3rd floor room were probably original from the 17th century. Although the hotel was rather full, our room was quiet at night.

Great location in Gamla Stan! The hotel is in an historic & charming building within walking distance of shopping, restaurants & bars. The desk attendant was friendly & helpful with recommendations & for calling taxis. A very nice breakfast was included in our package. We enjoyed our stay very much & would return.

We'd booked at a different hotel through Booking.com, but when we arrived, they explained that they had a couple arrive who they couldn't turn away, so they'd gotten us a room here instead. We handled all the payment at the original hotel, and the owner of that hotel walked us down to Scandic to confirm the arrangement. The desk clerk when we checked in was very friendly, checking our IDs, explaining the wifi and breakfast. He apologized that there wasn't a bar as the hotel is owned by the Salvation Army. The room was small, but clean and well-decorated. The bathroom was one of the nicest of the trip in that the shower doors fully isolated it from the rest of the bathroom (seriously, I'm the ugly American who soaked every other bathroom, no matter how hard I tried to aim the handle only at myself). Breakfast was delicious, though the spacing and alignment of the buffet made for some cozying up to strangers. The morning clerk wasn't quite as friendly, but unlocked the luggage closet for storage. All in all, a well-appointed, well-located, clean space in Gamla Stan.

The Rica Hotel in Gamla Stan is great if you are visiting Stockholm for the first time. The rooms are very cute, the beds are comfortable as well! The breakfast is great as well; so many types of foods which includes Swedish specialties. My only complaint is that the sink was clogged; we informed the staff but it was not fixed during the stay. You can walk to anywhere in the Old Town, and can also walk to the other islands as well. I didn't have to take public transportation. The hotel is also close to the Central Train Station. If you don't like to walk a lot, the subway station is 2 blocks away. I would stay here again!
