Good value hotel in an expensive hotel. Breakfast was extensive and good quality. Staff and service at the front desk was also excellent as is the location. Room was very small with no real sign of the design element the hotel promises. Fast free wireless and a comfy bed though. Would recommend more

The Birger Jarl is a nice, reasonable hotel. It's conveniently located within walking distance to town. more

Very nice rooms, though a little bit small. Free soft drinks & chocolate in the mini- bar! These were even replaced early in the holiday although not later on. The breakfast buffet offers an enormous array of options The gym is small but well equipped & the sauna is a good way to unwind after a day's sightseeing. The only... more

I'm not shy to criticize where it is due but I would happily recommend this hotel and would stay again when I go back to Stockholm. Firstly, the staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is modern, trendy and clean, typically Swedish design - minimalist but very functional and practical, we loved it. The bedrooms are small but perfect and... more

A fairly ordinary 60s hotel from the outside but a classic inside. While we didn''t have one of the rooms personally styled by top designers, the cleanliness, attention to detail (lighting, free soft drinks in the fridge, free 'internet cafe' area ) in design and room facilities was excellent. Rooms are European, not US size. The staff were incredibly helpful,... more

I must say they were all right. The hotel is very modern,... more

The Hotel Birger Jarl was the perfect home base to explore beautiful Stockholm. It's located in a peaceful residential area, a short walk to two subway stations and a major bus stop area.llIf you get the Stockholm Card ( which I strongly recommend) all transit is free. The hotel is also a reasonable walk from the central station and major... more

We stayed in the Birger Jarl Hotel over easter 2009 for 3 nights. I booked the hotel due to the comments on tripadvisor and also the price I was able to get. As mentioned by many people Stockholm is an expensive city, therefore you need to snap up any deals quickly. The hotel isn't located in the centre, but we... more

Good value for money, but perhaps a bit too far from the city centre for my taste (I prefer to walk). But given the fact that Stockholm is a city where hotel prices are very high and hotels are often sold out, I could very well return to Birger Jarl one day. more
