Story Hotel Malmö - JDV by Hyatt

Amazing stay with a Baltic Sea view I stayed at Story Hotel Malmö, which opened in 2023, and had a fantastic experience overall. As a Hyatt Explorer (Loyalty Explorer), I was upgraded to a King Ocean View room facing the Baltic Sea, which was a real highlight. Unfortunately, I visited during very cold weather when everything outside was frozen — but even then, the view was beautiful. The hotel staff took great care of me and made the stay very comfortable. The room was spacious yet cozy, well designed, and included a small fridge with two complimentary bottles of sparkling water (though it would be nice to have a choice between still and sparkling). The lighting in the room could have been a bit brighter, but that’s a minor detail. There’s a salad and smoothie spot right next to reception, which is super convenient, and a sushi restaurant on the rooftop that’s definitely worth visiting. Other restaurants are easily accessible by Uber, and ordering in is simple as well. One small downside: while the hotel does offer room service on paper, in reality you need to pick up the order yourself from the restaurant, which is a bit disappointing. Additionally, room service orders can’t be charged to the room, which felt slightly odd and inconvenient. The building is shared with other commercial spaces, which is slightly unfortunate but doesn’t really affect the hotel experience. Also, the floor doors lock at night and require a room key to access — not an issue, just a bit unexpected. Overall, an excellent stay, and I would absolutely come back — especially in the summer, when the surroundings would really shine.

We had an amazing stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and ensure we had the best possible experience. They were incredibly helpful and flexible, and we even received a room upgrade, which we really appreciated. We had an awesome sea view from our window, and waking up every day to that beautiful view was an amazing treat. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, with delicious pancakes and pastries that we genuinely looked forward to. We truly loved our stay and would absolutely choose to stay here again if we return to Malmö

Nice sea view and location, but very basic for a 4-star hotel We stayed at Story Hotel Malmö for two nights and three days. The hotel is rated as 4-star, but the overall experience felt quite basic. The positives: Our room had a sea view, which was very nice, and the breakfast restaurant on the 14th floor offers a beautiful panoramic view. The design of the restaurant is modern and pleasant. The room was clean, the shower worked well, and parking was available without major issues. Where it fell short: The breakfast buffet was very limited, with a small and simple selection: • Waffles only (no pancakes) • Scrambled eggs, red beans, and Swedish meatballs • Very few pastries and limited variety overall There was no coffee machine available. Breakfast was limited to basic black coffee with warm milk and tea bags, which felt below expectations for a 4-star hotel. Room experience: Despite the sea view, the room itself felt very simple: • The minibar/fridge was empty except for water • Bedding and overall room presentation were minimal • Bathroom amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand cream) were standard and basic Overall, the room lacked the comfort, details, and atmosphere usually expected from a higher-end hotel. Facilities and atmosphere: There were no leisure or family facilities, such as a playroom, kids’ area, or activity spaces. Inside, much of the hotel felt more like a business or office building than a hotel designed for relaxation. Overall: Nice views, good location, and clean rooms — but the experience felt very basic for a 4-star hotel. With improvements to breakfast variety, coffee service, and guest facilities, the hotel could better meet expectations.

We stayed at Story Hotel Malmö for three nights and had a very pleasant experience overall. The hotel is clean, modern, and well maintained. Our room was comfortable and offered a good amount of space, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring the city. One of the highlights was the excellent value when redeeming points, which made the stay especially worthwhile and difficult to fault from a price-to-value perspective. The only area where we felt there was room for improvement was the breakfast selection. While the offerings were good, we would have appreciated a wider variety; particularly, more traditional Swedish items. Other hotels we stayed at in Malmö featured local staples such as pickled herring, which would have been a nice addition here. Overall, a comfortable and well-priced stay, especially for those looking for strong value in a clean and conveniently located hotel.

There are not enough stars to rate this hotel!!!!!! The architecture is beautiful. The setting is perfect and you wake up to the beautiful water on one side and sunrise on the other. The complimentary breakfast is HUGE and it is on the top floor with nearly a 360 view of the beautiful city. The staff is welcoming and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable and quiet!! Wow. I regret that I’m only staying 3 days. I wish I could move in!!!!! Pictured is the view we awoke to 😍

We had an amazing stay at the hotel. The receptionists are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We felt like home. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. Free luggage storage available. Strategic location, near to Malmö C.

Great location overlooking harbour area - where the daily ferry from Malmo to Poland docks. FAB views from the 14th floor for breakfast and later drinks in evening. Short walk to Malmco C for train on Oresund Bridge to Copenhagen. A fairly quiet spot, not hustle and bustle at all. Dont miss the above ground 'bunker'.

After an 8-hour trip on my motorcycle across Denmark, I arrived in Malmö – exhausted, worn out, and simply done. But the moment I stepped into the Story Hotel, all of that was forgotten. The lady at the reception was incredibly charming and empathetic. With just a few words and a great sense of humor, she completely turned my day around. We laughed heartily together, and she took the time to explain everything about the hotel and my room. On top of that, she even gave me some wonderful recommendations for restaurants and the city – exactly what you need after such a journey. My room itself was a dream: stylishly designed, spotless, and with a view that left me speechless. The huge window overlooking the harbor was so captivating that it made the TV in the room completely unnecessary – that view alone was pure entertainment. For me, the Story Hotel Malmö is much more than just accommodation. It was the perfect ending to a long day on the road, a place to arrive, breathe, and feel at home. This experience is one I won’t forget anytime soon. Simply perfect.

This hotel is part of Hyatt network, is located near the main train station of Malmo, and normally very reasonably priced especially compared to hotels in Copenhagen which is only 30 min train ride away. They provide complimentary breakfast to all guests at the top floor (w/rooftop access) restaurant. You get to enjoy nice city views when the weather is nice. Everything is within 10-15 min walk, so the location is very convenient.

Our stay in story Hotel studio was wonderful. We arrived a little too early for a room to be ready, but they were super kind and kept her bag safe while we explored the city . when we came back at 3 PM, Our room was ready and it was very modern clean and comfortable. The best part of the hotel was a wonderful breakfast at the rooftop with which offered a lot of delicious options and Swedish delicacies . All the staff was wonderful and extremely kind. I cannot recommend this Hotel enough.

We spent two nights in Malmo at the Story Hotel Studio. The hotel is very modern and the staff were very accommodating allowing us to place our bags in the hotel while we explored the city. The bed was comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay with tons of delicious options, such as waffles, fresh fruit, yogurt, oats, and gluten-free bread. We loved our stay at Story hotel studio Malmo and can't wait to visit again!

Malmö is a small city with many streets covered with cobble stone and cute architecture right out of a fairy tale. In this fairy tale the Story hotel in Malmö fits perfectly. We are staying here for three nights and our vacation is not over but I needed to write about this special hotel now. It's just so unique and well thought out that I hope they expand to many other cities around the world. This is a fairly new hotel and really should be the future of hotels. Great customer service from the lobby area. Card less entry with knowing just your code, check in and out can be done electronically. Not only breakfast is part of the deal but different types of water bottles in the room free of charge. Bikes available without paying additional to use: first come first basis deal. Apple TV in your room to Netflix and chill after the sightseeing. Or you can just make your eyes wonder to the amazing view from your room. Ofcourse wifi is included but didn't need to use it yet. Charging areas for phone in room and don't need to use international converters like other hotels. The list can go on but I know you get my point how amazing this hotel is. So far I'm loving Malmö, Sweden but a huge part of that is because of this hotel.~

Awesome hotel, spacious rooms and nice ambience. Only drawback to my room on the 500 wing is very little counter space in the bathroom. Very clean and staff are kind. Clean and fat towels.

What a wonderful and comfortable place to be. Quiet and the view is out of the park amazing. Bed is comfortable and bathroom is awesome. Restaurant on site is a bit fancy for me but salads downstairs if you want it. View from the rooftop terrace is stunning. Highly recommend it. Close to train station and old town. Love it!
