"Characterful 17C house in a pleasant Old Town setting. Cosy bedrooms are classically styled, well-maintained and equipped with good modern facilities; bathrooms are compact but smart."

"Charming winding streets lead to the doorstep of this cosy establishment. Located close to the Royal Palace, portraits of Swedish royalty dating from the 1650s adorn the walls of every room."

"Wonderfully situated in an elegant medieval building in Gamla Stan, with stylish yet old-fashioned rooms in 1700s Swedish design."

"Just down the street from the Lord Nelson, this 51-room hotel in a 17th-century building is steps from the waterfront, but none of the rooms has a view." Full review

"If you fancy classic Swedish interiors, rush to Rica, where the smallish rooms feature everything from powder-blue wallpaper and dainty furniture to vintage chandeliers." Full review
