I stayed here for 1 night on a business trip. The prices are high in Scandinavia and this hotel probably ranks as a Campanile/Ibis level in other countries. The room I had was small and the bathroom was cramped with only a shower that was a wet room style so the whole floor became flooded. The towels were thin. The... More

I travel on business every week for the last three years and this was by far the worst hotel I stayed at. Online pictures look great - but be careful with the room you book! Many rooms are what they call "cabin" - WITHOUT windows and tiny! Who builds hotel rooms without windows?? My room got booked through work travel... More

Stayed at Birger Jarl, when visiting Stockholm for business. The hotel looks much better on the website than live. Nice reception area, but worn out hallway. The room (single room) was OK at the tops furniture nice but very crammed and non personal. All in all adequate for a one night stay but not for a longer stay.

I stayed at the Birger Jarl for one night and will gladly recommend the hotel for other to use. The location is a little off, but still within walking distance to the center and the sub is running close to the hotel. Fine rooms, good service and pleasant environment.

Stayed here and must say that the hotel was fantastic. Firstly it's not central. It's about a 2km walk from the Central Station. If its a nice day you can walk it in 30 minutes but if not then a cab ride costs about 100 SEK (ten pounds/Euros) Hotel is in a good location with nice bars and resturants around.... More

I booked this hotel in "booking" but my flight was cancelled the day of the visit due to the european strike of Lufthansa. I called "booking" and they called the hotel to ask for cancellation due to the special situation, they even proposed to change the date of the visit since I will go anyway to Stockholm in the next...

Ah.. an iron! I missed that little thing in the room. The place is quiet event though it’s a very center of the city. Breakfast was... More

We had a nice room, free water bottles at the room. Clean, good service. It's a short walk down to Stureplan. When we stayed at the hotel they were reformating the hotel, so we got lost inside the hotel a few times...

Spent 3 nights here recently on first visit to Stockholm. The hotel is a short walk to a metro station, and you can get to the Old Town or city centre very easily. The hotel is stylish and modern without being pretentious. Our room 306 was not huge but warm and well-equipped, with clever use of storage space, and the... More

Hotel lobby area was very welcoming and modern, the check-in was polite and professional. Our junior suite (room 334) was pleasant, however due to a bath tub leak we had to move.
