We stayed here to visit the Christmas markets in Gamla Stan and it was great! Very easy to get where we needed to go and lots of dining options nearby. It’s truly in the heart of the old town. The building is old, which is fine, but the upkeep was lacking. That’s not a complaint, just an observation because truly it didn’t affect our stay. It just wasn’t the nicest place we’ve ever stayed. The staff was fantastic. Helpful and kind. Getting there from the train was a bit tricky with our luggage. We took a taxi out which was a bit easier. We’d stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Gamla Stan. Go to House of Smörgåsbord for dinner just up the road. It’s the best local food we had in Sweden!

Overall it is a very nice hotel secluded off the typical beaten path. Dining options are somewhat limited in the area but several within walking distance. One notable item is if you do stay in the Suite W\ sea view your view from the balcony is beautiful but you will be sharing it with others. There is a small screen between the units for half the distance but you will still here every word and movement by your neighbors.

The staff at The Sparrow were extremely pleasant and helpful. They were able to provide us excellent dining options and helped us with local directions. They room was a big surprise. It was much larger than we expected. The beds were comfy and we slept amazing. Check-in and departure were quick and easy. They made a beautiful hotel even better.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The beds were so comfy, the staff were good and accommodating whenever we needed something and the room was nice however the shower was faulty and the lifts were constantly out of order and when they weren’t, they felt quite sketchy and unsafe which made things difficult with a sprained ankle at the time. Really good location right next to Radmansgatan metro which made travelling around the city very easy as the metro system was great. Would visit again ☺️
