A small refrigerator/mini-bar is also included in the rooms. The bathroom is nice and clean, with good heat in the shower. The elevators are fast, and all the rooms has free WiFi. The speed of their internet connection is impressive, and in the hallway there is computers which are free to use. The view from the room is beatiful, and its easy to feel relaxed. The only negative things is that the fan in the rooms is not possible to turn off, and it blows cold air all day and night. The other thing is that all guests must check out before 11, so therefore you can feel a little stressed if you want to sleep longer in the mornings. But beside of those two things, this is a very good hotel, which have all the neccessary things that you need on your visit in Stockholm. A hotel well worth a visit.

We then had to wait a long time for somebody to fix the problem. One of the beds in the room was not even set up and also not made. You should not have to make your own bed at a hotel!

No shampoos and soaps. Normally I'd go on a florid rant about this but my fellow travelers (not meant to denote that they are communists) say this is common for European Hotels. The lobby was so minuscule that the line of guests spilled out onto the street, and the lobby mini mart was wanting. We had dinner at the hotel and it was fine. A somewhat austere selection though, we had the chicken, which had herbs generously applied and added to the flavor. It was OK. The accompanying sauce was very helpful, it had lemony and mustardy components. Sans sauce, the chicken was a 2, and with it, a 3. The rice was a disaster. Not fluffed in the slightest, nor butter or oil used to help, it was one big clump, arduously chopped into a handful of clumps. Application of the chicken gravy helped. They had 4 different breads laid out. Each thoughtfully wrapped In cloth to permit germ free cutting. Tried each and they were good.

I'm gluten and lactose intolerant but I was never hungry while staying here. They do a small but very good buffet that will suit everyone's needs. I was honestly impressed by the quality of the food and I could hear other guests making comments about it as well. When arriving the hostess that welcomed us wasn't very friendly the other staff was great and very helpfull. The rooms are spacious and clean. The location is also pretty good, not right in the center but with everything within walking distance. I would, no doubt, book this hotel again next time I visit Stockholm!

Birger Jarl was our base of operations for my wife and I to explore Stockholm over three days. the location was convenient, about a 20 minute walk to the center of town and the water. It's in a quiet part of town which means the windows can be opened over night to cool down without much noise. The wifi was very fast and worked well. Service was exceptionally friendly and welcoming and even offered some suggestions for our stay at check in. The included breakfast was quite extensive with a variety of meat, cheese, spreads, and jams for sandwiches, cereals, and hot foods to really load up. We didn't need lunch most days as a result. Everything was quite modern and very clean. It was a great place to use to explore a beautiful city.

The hotel Birger Jarl is a fairly central business hotel in Stockholm. It is walkable (15 min) from…read morethe central station if you do not have any luggage. Otherwise it is easy to access via the subway (green subway line, two stops, station Radmansgatan, from the central station) and then a few minutes walk. The hotel is outside the main tourist and business area but it is still close to most things. The area also has a number of interesting restaurants. The hotel does not look like anything special from the outside. The lobby is also uninspiring. The staff at the reception have on the other hand always been service minded and polite. Last time I stayed here I had booked a cheap Internet rate (around 800 SEK) and should have been put in one of the small standard rooms. I asked if they had the 'forgotten' room (or the 70s room as it is also known) available and luckily it was available and I got it without any extra charge. I really love this room but it is a bit special so it is not for everyone. The room in question (number 247) is at the end of a corridor (almost around a corner) and when the hotel was refurbished it was simply forgotten. They decided to keep it and just have it slightly 'freshened up'. The room is rather large (to be in Europe) and actually consists of two rooms. One is like a lounge with sofa, TV, 70s inspired entertainment center and also mini-bar. There is also a desk/work space.The bedroom also has a desk, TV, iron and safe, The bathroom is fairly recently renovated but they have kept the same style with green walls so it follows the same design. There is free wifi in the room as well as the lobby. The hotel breakfast was above average, not great but still great compared to what is normally offered at hotels in Sweden (compared to the chains like Scandic and Elite the breakfast here is world class but in an international perspective it is ok compared to what I would expect at at a 4-star hotel).

Right on the Strandvägen and overlooking the Nybroviken quay, the location couldn't have been better. We walked almost everywhere over our four days in the city, because the hotel was so central. Our room was gorgeous, with a beautiful view of the water. We splurged a bit for the suite, because it was so beautiful, I couldn't resist, but they have rooms with various prices. I'm sure all of them are lovely, because the hotel (built in 1910) has some incredible Art Nouveau architecture. The breakfast every morning was wonderful - with plenty of options (eggs, meats, cheeses, fruit, yogurt, bread, and a lot more). (FYI: There isn't a lift/elevator, so you'll have to get your big bags up some stairs.) The service at the hotel was great, too - the staff are wonderful and helpful. Overall, I enjoyed our stay very much.

We used the front desk to book dinner reservations and arrange for a car to the airport. We didn't get to spend much time with breakfast...basically because we just slept way too late. On weekends it's available until 11. But even so, for the 5 minutes we had, it was good (and included). The room was small but charming and complete with all amenities you would ever need. The neighborhood is quiet, but with plenty within walking distance. There was a great bar/restaurant on the same street and we even walked into the old city from here.

Reception is very friendly and helpful, from lending umbrellas to booking excursions to providing a warm welcome. Our room overlooked the main street so it meant that we had to have the window closed at night but the air con worked well and was quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were of high quality. Also the pillows were excellent. The decor was clean and crisp, with the school motif being very present but also not overdone. I wish there had been room for a chair, instead the room had cushions to sit on the windowsill which was not ideal. The bathroom was modern and functional, with a good shower and excellent products. Amazingly the mirror never misted, something truly appreciated. I wish, however, that they had provided somewhere to hang damp towels. The breakfast was very good indeed - a wide choice of foods with some excellent Swedish offerings (the beetroot infused smoked salmon was outstanding, along with the lingonberry spread), as well as the usual carbs for Americans. They provided gluten free muffins, gluten free muesli and gluten free bread.

Had few pre arrival emails and communication that were helpful. More emails during my 2 night stay in early October. Front desk staff and all personnel were friendly, cheerful and competent. Location was quite convenient too. Common areas and bar/restaurant are also nice and tasteful. Had drink and appetizers in the bar, and enjoyed it. So, all in all, pleasant boutique hotel. Now to few negatives. No free breakfast as Platinum Marriott Bonvoy amenity, only small discount. The rate was slightly high, but both of those thins are rather minor. The main issue here is a room itself. I didn't care much for decor, bit it is subjective of course. I couldn't get Platinum upgrade and ended up in their standard double room. It was simply too small even for "one of me", and not too well designed to move around. Felt a bit claustrophobic. Please don't tell me that I should expect very small rooms all over large European metropolis, it is simply not true. I travel enough on business and pleasure to know, and stay in many European cities. It was unusually small, that is all. Still, would recommend Miss Clara. If you are sensitive to a room size, pay up for a larger room then, I guess...)))

The hotel also had a great restaurant and bar downstairs which was great since we didn't want to have to bundle up to leave the hotel.
