Sodermalm is a good place to be in Stockhom. And this hotel has a great location in Sodermalm. Close to the metro and buses to outlaying areas, walking distance to old town and boats to other islands, including Durgarden, you will love the ability to get around by foot. There is a cab station within a block of the hotel (near the Hilton) if you need to go further a field and do not want to use the metro. Hotel is a bit small. Due to late booking, we changed rooms three times (rather than go to another hotel).( We discovered that the other hotels we selected for the remaining nights were not that far away but all uphill!) The rooms vary in size. Some like dorm rooms and the suite, well it was very nice and roomy. Bathrooms in the small rooms, were proportionately tiny but clean. Breakfast was great. Lots of hot and cold food. Located on the bottom floor with interesting view of the market area. Beds were comfortable and decor an interesting attempt to be antiquee and comfortable. Drinking water, fresh and clear and free. The suite had a view of the market place and bridges to the other island. There were foldout beds hidden nicely in cabinets in every room. Negative stuff? Well, dragging your bags up the cobblestone walkway from the metro or bus is a drag. And then you must carry them upstairs as there is no elavator. But the streets are full of small everyday eating resturant (yes, McDonalds and 7-11 but you must try Max, the Swedish buger place) and shops. Also down in the metro there is a grocery store and other shops. Not touristy stuff. That you can find in Old Town. There is an ATM and bank on the corner for money and exchanges. Did not try to use the internet. Watch out for the bike riders during the week as they are on their way to work (downhill) and really wanting to get home (uphill). Also, this is a young person's Saturday night area. A bit noisy and bustling. Staff very helpful. All speak English perfectly (true of most of Stockholm).
