At Six

This was my second visit to Stockholm and, once again, I chose to stay at At Six – and it didn’t disappoint. The location is unbeatable: right next to the train station, making getting around the city super easy. We loved how convenient everything was, especially with luggage or early departures. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, adding a nice touch to the experience. Breakfast was excellent – a generous spread with lots of variety, perfect for starting the day. That said, there’s room for improvement in terms of cleanliness. We noticed quite a bit of dust in the room, which triggered my child’s hay fever symptoms. It’s something that could definitely be addressed with better maintenance. Still, overall, the hotel offers great value, especially considering the central location and warm service. I’d definitely recommend it for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in the heart of Stockholm.

Nobis Hotel Stockholm, a Member of Design Hotels™

I absolutely loved this hotel — it’s hard to put into words just how much I enjoyed my stay. From the moment I walked in, the design was stunning: clean, stylish, and thoughtfully curated. It’s easy to see why it’s part of Design Hotels™. The room is on the smaller side, but honestly, that’s totally fair given its unbeatable location — right next to boutique shops and just steps from everything. What really stood out? The attention to detail. Everything from the plush bedding and soft towels to the slippers felt luxurious. And the toiletries? All Byredo — the scent was subtle yet elegant. But the real game-changer? A proper bidet. In Europe, that’s still a rarity, so it made a big difference for me. Staff were incredibly kind and always available — even at 1 a.m., when I called about a forgotten tote bag, someone brought it up to my room without hesitation. That kind of service goes beyond expectations. Breakfast was simple but excellent: fresh ingredients, delicious pastries, and homemade jam that tasted like heaven. Honestly, the value was outstanding for the quality. If I ever return to Stockholm, this will be my first choice. I genuinely fell in love with the place.

Ett HEM

Staying at Ett HEM in Stockholm was an absolute highlight of my trip—truly one of the best boutique hotels I’ve ever experienced. Nestled in a quiet, upscale residential neighborhood, the hotel feels like a hidden gem. The property consists of two older but beautifully maintained buildings, each with its own shared spaces. The first building houses the front desk, a cozy lounge area, and a charming restaurant. The second building has communal areas on floors one through three, including another dining space on the ground floor. Every common area is thoughtfully designed with warmth and comfort in mind—there’s a real sense of personality and style throughout. Each day, fresh pastries and water are offered in the lounge, and guests can help themselves to alcoholic drinks (paid for by self-registration in a notebook). The restaurants are exceptional and require reservations—unfortunately we missed out on the 7-course tasting menu during a local festival, but the 5-course option we enjoyed over two nights was outstanding. The food was fresh, creative, and beautifully presented—around 1,000 RMB per person, which felt completely justified. Breakfast was simple but high-quality, all made fresh daily without options—just pure freshness and care in every bite. Staff are naturally reserved, typical of Swedish hospitality, but genuinely kind and helpful when approached. Free snacks are available in-room, though drinks aren’t complimentary. No kettle provided, but they’ll happily lend you one upon request. We couldn’t book a larger room—the bigger ones sell out fast—but even the standard room was well-appointed, with everything we needed, including full-sized organic skincare products. Honestly, this place exceeded every expectation. I left with several bottles of their signature bath and body products in my suitcase—proof of how much I loved it. If you’re looking for a refined, intimate, and thoughtfully curated stay in Stockholm, Ett HEM should be top of your list.
