We were pleasantly surprised as concerned about the reported construction...but our four days were noise and construction free! We had two rooms and both were clean, contemporary and quiet. Breakfast offered excellent assortment from eggs and bacon to crepes, cheeses, meats and cereals. The front desk staff was very helpful in suggesting local restaurants like Nalen, and Malaysia...for when our... More

Minimalist style hotel,rooms small ,but well designed. Bathroom very small with a wet room design but alarming until you realise this as your shower water pours over the bath rim!! Reallly good Swedish breakfast. Get a travel card from the underground station,gives you free bus and underground travel both of which are just 5 mins from hotel and run frequently.... More

Stayed at Hotel Birger Jarl during a recent business trip to Stockholm. Staff were very friendly, room was clean and well equiped. Buffet breakfast was comprehensive and didn't leave one wanting more. The hotel in a 5 minute walk to the T-Bahn (metro) that gives great access to the city. Would stay here again for sure! More

The hotel is very nice and beyond the standard quality of 3 stars hotels. Given this preamble the price is ok. There was the possibility to book a single room without windows, which is what I did, for a cheaper price than the standard room. The room was very clean and with pleasant new furniture. Hairdrier and iron were available... More

I stayed there for three nights. The room itself was clean and good-sized too and the breakfast-buffet was good with a wide variety. Only downside was the small bathroom. The hotel is about 20 minutes walking from Central/Gamla Stan and little then 5 minutes from a tube-station and the beginning of the large shopping street drottningsgatan. I am very satisfied...

We stayed for 3 nights. Its a few stops on the 'tube' from the central station so its not the closest but could be alot worse. Stockholm is a very expensive city so the price of the room is very good value. However, the bathroom was very small, and unfortunately my boyfriend was sneezing so much due to the dust... More

NB. During my time at this hotel renovations were being performed on the ground floor. I will not reflect upon these aspects in my review. The Birger Jarl offers well adequate accommodation at a perfectly acceptable price in central Stockholm. I did find the room (king) slightly on the small side, although not being a major issue for my stay... More

This hotel is in the city centre, but in a pretty dull area of Stockholm. Hotel staff was very polite, breakfast above average and the bed in my room was super comfortable. The bathroom was really small, but it didn´t bother me as a single traveller this time. Nothing to complain of -but not very exciting either... More

This is a great little find only 1km from city centre and near some good restaurants and the area is not charging tourist rates. The room is small but really clean and a very comfortable bed, great free buffet breakfast and free wifi. More

Good atmosphere, courteous staff. Relatively good location. Breakfast traditonal and safe. Missing more selection of tea ;0) I was unlucky, and at the same time can't understand why the management approves on construction starting at seven o'clock in the morning. Drilling and hammering... Strange. More
