This place has a really nice location - right next to the castle and in the beautiful old city of Stockholm. The rooms are clean and quite nice - with great views towards the water surrounding the city. Close to great restaurant too. . Good breakfast and great staff - they are very helpful. More

Stayed there for business for 3 nights. Very good location - I had a meeting just around the corner from it. Gamla Stan is great so it's well worth the stay. Breakfast is ok and the staff is friendly. I found the room to be small but ok - have seen bigger rooms at a four star hotel. More

We arrived at the Reisen after doing a lot of research into hotels in Stockholm, and having got a good deal we thought we probably had a good chance of a good stay. When we arrived we were offered an upgrade for some extra money, which seemed a little at the time, so we accepted. When we arrived at our... More

Cant beat the location on the waterfront of the Old Town. Standard rooms are at back of hotel. This is not so bad as waterfront can be noisy at night. Furniture a bit tired but so easy to knock it as room was very small. Breakfast buffet exceeded expectations and evening meal quite acceptable. As a 'base and bed' in... More

This was our first visit to Stockholm and we stayed at the First Hotel Reisen for three nights. The hotel is perfectly located overlooking the waterfront in the old part of town Gamla Stan. We were able to walk to all the main attractions although we caught a ferry (a short stroll away) to visit Djurgarden island for the Vasa... More

This was supposed to be a nice hotel and was rated 4/5 on Expedia witch got my hopes up. As a swede, living abroad I expected a friendly welcome from my countrymen.. It turned out that they were rude and contescending. The rooms did not impress us at all. Felt really old and out of style. Dirty walls, bathtube and... More

The staff were very friendly & helpful. The location is great. The size & cleanliness of the rooms is okay but they're very dated with small elements broken or chipped, very old TV, no room safe box, etc. They need refurbishment before they can call it 4 star. More

Hotel Reisen is beautifully located in the center of Stockholm very near the Royal Castle. The location makes it very easy to stroll in the Old Town and to visit many of the interesting museums. The hotel has always been considered a very high class hotel and accordingly the service is excellent , the staff very friendly and service-minded both... More

I was booked into the First Reisen because I was teaching in a conference center next door. First Reisen is in Gamla Stan, the old city, not far from the palace and most major museums. It is a superb headquarters for touring Stockholm. The staff is exceptional, and unfailingly helpful. The restaurant offers a good enough buffet breakfast, and surprised... More

I stay at this hotel every year for business. The location is perfect, right around the corner from the palace. The staff is very helpful. Good breakfast, nice selection of hot and cold foods. The internet connection is free, which is positive. I had stayed there once in a single room and it was very small and dark and cramped,... More
