Gardsjo Algpark

The hotel was reasonably clean and the location was good. The man at reception tried to help when I needed assistance. The room had some useful features such as mirrors and hooks. However, there were several issues with my stay. The room was small, with no windows, no headboard and no bedside lights. The towels were very worn, and I found hairs in the bathroom that were not mine. One of my friends also found that their sheets were dirty. The room was very noisy. I could hear people using the toilet in the rooms above, and noise from the pipes throughout the night. This made it difficult to sleep. I was also disappointed that the booking information was not clear in English. One of the rooms had a shared bathroom and no windows, but this was not obvious when booking. Had this been made clear, I would have booked elsewhere. I also find the fact that they don’t have 24h reception impractical and they were not responsive over email, message and phone. I dread to think what would have happened if there had been an emergency. Overall, the location was good and the room was reasonably clean, but I would not stay here again and I would not recommend it to anyone especially to stay in the basement rooms.

Exceeded expectations by every metric. If you're trying to avoid staying close to Stockholm but want to see the city regardless, the train station nearby couldn't be more convenient. I have been underwhelmed by the home hotel product thus far, Welcome is way better.

This is a wonderfully quirky place to stay. It’s great being on the water in a very quiet area with great views. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and my room was more than adequate to my needs. The bed was very comfortable and the en suite shower and loo were excellent. I loved being able to look out of my porthole close to the water level. There was also a very efficient fan in my room as it was reasonably hot whilst I was in Stockholm. The boat is about a 10/15 minute easy walk from the station and everything on Gamla Stan is within easy reach, including great restaurants and the 80 & 82 ferries from Slussen. There’s also a tube station very close by. The food on board is of a very high quality with a 10% reduction for guests. Sadly, it was limited for someone like me with a dairy intolerance but the tomato salad and steak were both excellent. The breakfast buffet is first rate.
