Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I had the hardest time booking our hotel in Stockholm despite it being one of our first stops. The reason was because I had to make sure that the hotel take late check in. Hotel Hellsten does and it was actually a good decision. Breakfast was included and it was delish. They even prepared a to go breakfast box for us since we had to leave early. The room and bathroom was very satisfactory and service was great. Public transport was within walking distance from the hotel and there are resto close by.
- Block away from metro, but still walkable to Gamla Stan
- Very small (solo) room. Essentially a bed and small desk plus the small bathroom
- Likely not worth the rate per night
A good mid-level choice if you want a compromise between the convenience of downtown and the services of a neighborhood. There are tons of non-touristy restaurants and bars at all levels within easy walking distance and a supermarket and pharmacy a block away. The major sites of Stockholm are on the waterfront, not near the hotel, but there's a subway station a block and a half away that will get you downtown in minutes.
The hotel is very well maintained and it's clear that the owners are trying to provide the best experience. For example, there are many breakfast options, including plant-based and lactose-free milks, several kinds of bread, and even oatmeal. There's free live jazz once a week in the bar. (It's not great, but I appreciate the effort.) The decor veers toward "shabby chic" - don't expect a Marriott-type look with cookie-cutter rooms and corporate decor. I had a top-floor room with a sloped ceiling, exposed wooden beams, and a casement window that opened, not mechanical ventilation.
It was a perfect choice for me, but might not be to everyone's taste.
Really lovely spacious room. Good size shower room. Clean and tidy. Nice and bright. Bit warm but they’d provided a fan and the windows open. Comfy bed - firm.

The shower was not sealed properly so water leaked out onto the bathroom floor.
Other than that, I enjoyed my stay, my third time at the Hellsten while visiting Stockholm.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hot breakfasts were very good with lots of selection.
The front desk staff were accommodating and friendly.
I didn't like how dark the entryway was - almost foreboding!
Need a table of some sort around the sink in the bathroom for toiletries.
No air conditioning. We were fortunate that the weather was cooler when we stayed so kept the window open all night and the room cooled off.
Good location, just a short walk into the city centre. Quiet, relaxed atmosphere. I appreciated the free tea and coffee. My room was fine, although a little warm, with openable window. Great breakfast with lots of choice. All the staff seemed friendly.
Good value, had all the essentials. Good breakfast. Bed was ok, not the most comfortable, very soft. Coffee and tea available in the lobby. Very clean.
The flag outside the hotel is great for locating it

Not warned about nightime noise disturbance
The hotel itself is 'shabby chique' with every room differently furnished with 'antiques' - four-poster bed; distressed trunks and deskes etc.
WiFi is reliable and fast. Breakfast is excellent. The bar food is OK but not all the items were available when we ate there (and there are only about 6 items on the menu).
TV selection is poor - BBC World and 4 Swedish channels; no Netflix or streaming.
No coffee/tea in room but there is a 24/7 beverage machine in the lobby.
No information folder in room ('phone numbers, services, local restaurants etc.)
Shower/bath had good water pressure and toiletries were of good quality.
BUT...Noise! we were woken at 0430-0500 by trucks being loaded/unloaded from the hotel doorway directly beneath our window and other trucks across the street. This was followed by laundry carts or similar being wheeled noisily across to the Rex hotel opposite (same owners). Staff at reception claimed no knowledge of this and said it must have been other businesses that were responsible. From what I saw from our window this was not the case
I cannot believe that no previous guests have not brought this matter to their attention. Guests should be warned and offered alternative quieter accomodation.
