Frommer's Review

In the center of town, less than 2 blocks north of the Drottninggatan, this hotel looks more historic, cozier, and a bit more artfully cluttered than many of its more formal and streamlined competitors. It was built during the late 19th century as a row of shops where the owners usually lived upstairs from their businesses. Today, after a radical remodeling, you'll find a carefully preserved sense of history; a pale color scheme of grays, beiges, and ochres; and a hands-on management style by the resident owners. The individually designed bedrooms are cozy, neat, and functional. Some of the rooms are superior to the regular doubles, and these go first, complete with adjustable beds, a computer, a stereo, and a plasma-screen TV. Bathrooms are a bit small, but adequately outfitted.

Facilities:
Breakfast room; bar; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
