Aspö Golf Vacations

Our stay at the Birger Jarl Hotel was overall disappointing, especially considering the high price point and the distance from the main attractions in Stockholm. Despite the glowing reviews I had read beforehand, the experience did not live up to expectations. The location proved inconvenient: most of the places we wanted to visit, particularly south of Central Station and in the Old Town, were a good 30-minute walk away. For families or first-time visitors, I would strongly recommend choosing accommodation closer to Central Station or Gamla Stan. Customer service was underwhelming and lacked the warmth I’ve experienced in other Scandinavian hotels. The welcome was not particularly friendly, and the overall approach felt rushed rather than guest-oriented. Breakfast, while adequate, was not nearly as special as reviews suggested. For a Scandinavian hotel, the offering was standard at best. Guests arriving closer to the end of service should be aware that staff clear away food promptly, with little flexibility or warmth in their approach. Room comfort was mixed. The main bed was fine, but the sofa bed provided for my daughter was poorly thought out—a blanket and sheet on a narrow, elevated sofa. I was concerned about her rolling off, and it did not feel like a safe or suitable sleeping arrangement for a child. Ultimately, I regret booking this hotel based on overly positive reviews. While the hotel seems to aspire to a higher standard, in practice it falls short in terms of

Property was good. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were great. We had a “classic room” which was fine but quite small compared with the map showing nearby rooms. Window opened nicely for fresh air.

Super cute property. Full of Swedish antiques. Excellent walking location. Front desk very helpful. Breakfast very good.

Wished dining open longer especially on weekends

Clarion hotel is an amazing hotel, with great dining options. This hotel is kid friendly with a spa that they can also go to.

Great rooms amazing breakfast ( not cheap but worth every penny )

Love the location and the restaurant. Beautiful building. Shops nearby. Gym was not reachable by elevator, problematic for those who can’t climb stairs (I can’t). Room was a little musty and small. Unfortunately no upgrades were available.

The location is prime. Central and on a pedestrian street. The decoration and overall vibe of the hotel is beautiful and lively in the best possible way. The rooms are quiet and the beds very comfy.
