Our stay at the Birger Jarl Hotel was overall disappointing, especially considering the high price point and the distance from the main attractions in Stockholm. Despite the glowing reviews I had read beforehand, the experience did not live up to expectations. The location proved inconvenient: most of the places we wanted to visit, particularly south of Central Station and in the Old Town, were a good 30-minute walk away. For families or first-time visitors, I would strongly recommend choosing accommodation closer to Central Station or Gamla Stan. Customer service was underwhelming and lacked the warmth I’ve experienced in other Scandinavian hotels. The welcome was not particularly friendly, and the overall approach felt rushed rather than guest-oriented. Breakfast, while adequate, was not nearly as special as reviews suggested. For a Scandinavian hotel, the offering was standard at best. Guests arriving closer to the end of service should be aware that staff clear away food promptly, with little flexibility or warmth in their approach. Room comfort was mixed. The main bed was fine, but the sofa bed provided for my daughter was poorly thought out—a blanket and sheet on a narrow, elevated sofa. I was concerned about her rolling off, and it did not feel like a safe or suitable sleeping arrangement for a child. Ultimately, I regret booking this hotel based on overly positive reviews. While the hotel seems to aspire to a higher standard, in practice it falls short in terms of

The hotel was within walking distance of all the major attractions and transportation hubs for Stockholm. If you have luggage it’s best to take an uber/taxi to the hotel if arriving via Stockholm’s Central Station. Overall, our stay was fine and the breakfast buffet was definitely the highlight of our stay.

Stayed here for 4 nights in August. Property is quiet and quite nice. Was told on reviews that there is AC. But during a hot spell in August found that there wasn’t any. Was ok with the windows open at night as it got cool and was quiet. Breakfast was excellent although I would ask for some vegetarian ‘meat’ items such as sausages and bacon.Overall a good stay in a fantastic city!

Property was in a good area, walking distance to a lot of things. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We forgot an adapter and they let us borrow one from the front desk free of charge. The breakfast was great with a lot of options. Only negative thing was the shower design, there is no lip for the shower so the water goes everywhere on the floor in the bathroom. Overall wonderful stay.

Breakfast staff let hotel down.

First of all the good points. The hotel was of a good standard, the room high quality (and I was asked at check in whether I preferred a room with a bath or a shower). The check out was quick and they stored my luggage for later collection quickly and efficiently. But, they really messed up over breakfast - the breakfast area was busy when I came downstairs but there were places at a bar table area. However the staff member checking people in as they came down recommended I went to an overspill room downstairs, and assured me there was a full choice of items. I should have realised as soon as I got down there that this was very much second best compared to the main breakfast area, plain seating in a box like room which was almost empty, coffee from a thermos not freshly made, no toaster for the bread and when I checked on my way out there were twice as many hot food items available in the main breakfast area - this really let down what was looking like a nice hotel, but worst was the fact I had been misled by the staff member - that is unacceptable and why the rating is dropped two stars at to what it would have been otherwise.
