The Sparrow Hotel

This hotel was more pricey than those I usually stay in but I needed a good hotel that lies in that area so I picked this one. One of the best things was a very spacious bathroom. It was really nice and comfortable to take a shower, to put all my skincare and makeup on the sink. The lighting was gorgeous, too, easy to apply make-up. The bed was okay, by that I mean it was comfortable to sleep in but the matress was not very hard. The pillows were also okay, very soft but not as soft as in some hotels where you don't even feel them. The room was not very big I would say. If there were 2 people there, I think it would be hard for them to keep the suitcase open. The table and the chair were fine but I would say that if you plan to work from your room this is not the best option. The coolest thing is that you can open the window! I enjoyed it so much as I love having fresh air in the room! The air conditioner was a bit weird. It took it a lot of time to change the temperature. And I didn't open the window during that time so I guess it's just how it works. The tea and coffee selection was great! I enjoyed the tea so much that I ordered the tea from the brand that they used when I got home. You do hear the sounds from the corridor but my neighbors were quiet so it was just general noise from the door being opened, or a suitcase being brought. The breakfast was good. The selection is small but the quality is superb. The coffee was one of the best I had in a Swedish hotel, and they serve warm milk, too. It was very nice to go for a walk in the neighbourhood, there are some many places to visit around: shops, cafes, restaurants.

We got a free upgrade to an excellent room on the 5th floor, spacious room, sitting area, desk with power outlets. Particularly comfortable beds and wonderful bed linen. Spacious bathroom with all amenities, high quality towels, robes and slippers. Perfect location close to Stureplan, a metro station and the nearby shopping streets and restaurants

The Sparrow Hotel staff very friendly, professional and helpful. We had a deluxe bedroom level 2 facing bistro/courtyard; it was spacious with kingsize bed, two comfy chairs, desk, large TV and bluetooth speaker [a nice touch]. Toiletries L'Occitane better than most hotels, and towels changed daily and bedding once during our 3 night stay. Old fashioned elevator and some of the building architecture. Breakfast continental a good selection to keep you going for hours whilst walking Stockholm. Hotel location was central, a 15mins walk to waterside and surrounded by designer shops and good restaurants and bakeries only a short walk away. Don't forget to take a boat trip to Voxholm see the archipelago, walk the Old Town and visit the Royal Palace and Vassa Museum. Don't forget to indulge in wonderful cinnamon buns [Stora Bageriet], Swedish meatballs and dumplings [Traditional Restaurant Old Town].

Great location - walking distance from Arlanda Express, near shops and restaurants. Breakfast is excellent, small-ish but very high-quality selection (especially croissants were amazing). The hotel and our room were very cozy and suitable for a combination of remote work trip & weekend get-away. One of the comfiest hotel beds I have experienced!

The hotel had a unique ambience to it. It seemed to meld old character features with modernity. The shared spaces had a nice comfortable feel to them. The reception staff was efficient and friendly. I also liked that they provided hand wipes at the front desk. The location was perfect for us especially being close to a metro station. The room was huge and had plenty of sitting space, a wardrobe, and lots of closet storage. There were large windows allowing lots of light (a big plus for me) even on the second floor. The curtains worked fine to keep out the light in the early morning. The pillows were soft, and the bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was large and had heated floors. The shower itself wasn’t large and did not have a place to put our shampoo/soap. The water did not stay in the shower; it went all over the floor. However, the water does dry reasonably quick with the sloping floor and heat. We quickly learned to not put the bathmat down while taking a shower because it will get soaked. The towels were large and there was a large ledge to store toiletries. I’m not a breakfast person, but the breakfast was so tempting that I ended up indulging myself every day. There was a wide variety, and everything was tasty. There is a wine bar at the hotel which was a nice place to unwind and relax after a day of exploring. The staff and service at the wine bar was excellent.
