The Sparrow Hotel

The service in the dining room, lounge and reception were all excellent. The staff were not only efficient but really friendly and could not have been more helpful. The Parisien theme of the hotel gave it a special feel (we particularly loved the old fashioned lift) and our room reflected this too, as well as being clean, and having the most comfortable bed - including lovely soft pillows - that I have ever slept in. Our towels were refreshed each day and the bathroom was a generous size. We had asked for a quieter room at the back of the property and were given a lovely bright, quiet room. Despite arriving 2 hours early, our room was ready, which was a bonus after a very early start to the day. The hotel is well-situated for doing plenty of general sightseeing, shopping etc and within easy walking distance of the harbour, along with many museums and restaurants. The breakfast buffet has a wide range of food and drinks on offer and a good time from 7-11. We ate dinner in the hotel one evening and the food was delicious. We would definitely stay there again.

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!
