"This was the perfect location to stay in Stockholm. I was so happy I found this hotel. Right on the water in a quiet place surrounded by walking trails and out of the way of the city traffic and crowds. The entire staff from the front desk to the people who worked in the restaurant were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever seen and I travel a lot. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel. You will not be...

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Its central location, stunning views from the rooms, and exceptionally helpful staff made our holiday truly special.
Highlights included the outstanding breakfast and the fantastic running corner inside the hotel, where guests could try Saucony running shoes and join the Nordic team on their morning runs.
A special shoutout to the Room Division Manager, who handled a small misunderstanding during check-in with great professionalism, kindness, and care. Their excellent handling of the situation turned a minor misunderstanding into a positive experience and helped make our holiday unforgettable.
We would happily recommend this hotel and look forward to returning!"
"I had a great stay at Hotel Birger Jarl in Stockholm. Everything was excellent, from the cleanliness and comfort of the room to the friendly and professional staff. The hotel had a welcoming atmosphere, and everything was well organized. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Stockholm!"
"Fun hotel in a good area. Easy to get around town for touring. Breakfast was amazing. Access to laundry facilities was a nice perk for a longer trip."
"The location of the hotel was amazing. A very short walk to central station. It was also really easy to access other parts of the city either by walking or metro. The room was perfect for a couple of nights stay with comfy bed and clean bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again."
"Me and my partner love staying in Vasastan when we’re in Stockholm, so naturally we loved the location. We upgraded our room to one of the newly renovated ones and it was totally worth it. Loved the bathroom tiling and the bed and pillows were soooo comfy. My fiancée even contemplated emailing Elite to ask where the pillows are from so we can buy the same ones for home.
Breakfast buffe is really good, pretty standard for Swedish hotels I’d say. Can’t fault them on anything really."
"Ideal location beside a Metro Station, with all the amenities expected of a hotel of its rating. Friendly and helpful staff. Extensive choice at breakfast, although it does get busy around 8.00am. Mini bar seemed to consist of a small bottle of wine and a packet of crisps - these are not complimentary. Rooms are on the small side, but clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel for short breaks in Stockholm."
