We were extremely pleased with our stay at the Hotel Birger Jarl. It was our best hotel choice in Scandinavia. The location isn't the most central, but it is an easy 10 minute walk to the Old Town area. Our rooms were small as are most in Scandinavia, but they were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with everything... More

Nicely furnished hotel at central but calm location. Very helpful staff. Superb breakfast buffet. Room was comfortable but a bit small - it was quite difficult to get my 80 year old mother out of the bath tub. Besides that I really recommend this place. More

If you're in a suite, this is your spot. Looks like wall street in the lobby and bar areas. Breakfast has a decent american and euro variety along with newspapers. Wifi was free, parking you have to pay for, and it took me ten minutes to figure out which door would find me an elevator out of the garage and... More

Rooms are actually quiet small but feature everything you need. wireless lan free of charge, very good bed and clean bathroom. Staff was very very friendly from receptionist to cleaning personal.

This small hotel offers a great location at a very reasonable cost. Loved the Swedish compact design, very comfortable small rooms with a great staff and I found excellent dinner. The breakfast/brunch was outstanding. We could easily walk to the old town (about 10 minutes), so it was near everything we wanted to see. More

I've stayed here a few times over the last couple of years. I like it because it's in a quiet area but is close to a main street with restaurants etc. The metro is just around the corner so the rest of Stockholm is easily accessible. I often walk if the weather is ok as it's not that from the... More

I have used this hotel a few times. It's up-to-date, stylish and comfortable, also well-located. Great breakfast and good wine-by-the glass! More

Great location as its close to my office and relatively close to touristy stuff. The gym was pathetic - one treadmill? rooms were tiny but comfortable. The food was fantastic but the one waiter made eating there awful - he treated you like an annoyance rather than a paying customer - pity because the rest of the staff were friendly... More

Nice hotel, ok rooms. Good breakfast buffet but a bit crowded. Generally a bit of a disappointment due to the renovation. A bit of a challenge to find the elevators... Free wifi which is a standard nowadays. More

We stayed at Birger Jarl during the renovations. This meant that the lobby and breakfast restaurant were placed in the nearby church (?!). It felt a bit weird, but it was ok. We booked a room for 3 but were upgraded to a larger room directly when we came there. This room was noisy (running radiator) and we asked if... More
