Very pleasant, comfortable, clean hotel. Employees go out of the way to help. Breakfast ist great. Walking distance to the Old town. Great value for the money. Shuttle to the airport very convinient, less expensive than the train. There is a good restaurant just around the corner, with reasonable prices on Ternergata street # 19.

Despite mixed reviews on this property, we went ahead and booked a 2 nites stay from 19-21Apr. We managed to get a very good weekends rate at sek1050/nite/double which incl breakfast and welcoming fruits basket and chocolates . I'd said that its one of the best hotel we have stayed in Stockholm considering accommodations and food are very expensive in... more

Excellent hotel, hard to fault really. We had booked a buiness room (mainly due to other reviews commenting on the small size of standard rooms) but opted to upgrade to a designer room when we checked in (for extra £15 a night) and were very pleased with the room, probably the most comfortable bed I have slept in.

A very good hotel very close to the center. I have been there 3 months ago in January 2008 and I have found some minor changes. Since then breakfast buffet room has been moved from -1 to ground floor. Maybe from a certain point of view it is better (no architectural barriers) but the room seemed to me a bit... more

We went to the Birger because of the nice reviews and it certainly did meet its expectations. We booked a standard room through hotels.com, on the second floor and it was decent, but quite small and "businesslike". The rooms are not all decorated by these Swedish designers, most of the standard rooms are of the average kind that you can... more

I agree with the most recent reviewer of this hotel that it's a bit of a stretch to call it a 4-star. The design element is less consistent than the publicity would suggest, as well - the bar and other common parts are more stylish than the bedroom we had, which verged on the spartan (take your own shampoo). I... more

Just returned from a three night stay at the Birger Jarl and, much like other travellers, had a great time. The hotel staff were charming and extremely helpful. The bedrooms, while not huge, were well equipped with all the usual facilities and possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! Breakfast was excellent, a wide range of Swedish... more

A short stay in Stockholm, 2 nights in Birger Jarl. Very small room, no place for the luggage. Also the bathroom was very small. Floor and furniture was worn out. Will probably not return. more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for four nights. It was our first time in Sweden, and we could not believe the location and their breakfast buffet. The hotel is a couple blocks away from the subway and bus stop. A twenty minute walk will get you to Old Town. The employers were friendly, helpful, and took their... more
