Great location. Staff was friendly. Chef Oscar is the man. I saw all these reviews about the breakfast. I normally go to test the local fare, but this was too good and easy to pass up. LOTS of healthy options which I like and need. Big fan of this place.

The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Metro in Gamla Stan. A nice renovated old buildings with lovely, helpful staff. The room was very comfortable and a reasonable size. Price was certainly less than London. It is convenient to sights, shopping, restaurants and bars, but was very quiet. The breakfast buffet was extensive and very good. I don’t know how they do it every morning! The coffee machine tended to cause a bottleneck, but that was OK. The lift is TINY so beware if you have large bags.

This was my second stay at the Gamla Stan Scandic. My stay last year was perfect so why not try it again. I love this hotel. The staff is friendly, accommodating and very helpful. The rooms are small but totally adequate. There’s a great sitting area on the roof. Breakfast has everything you could want and more and the location is within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go.
