The hotel is not so far walk from subway which is good. room is clean. I love that they have an iron and ironing board available in the room. It was a little bit water on the floor though when you tried to standing and took a shower in the bathtub because of the partition is a little bit too short. overall good with breakfast. all staff is so helpful.

Great breakfast but that's about it ”

For the price, just OK. Would not return. Hotel itself is quite dated and attracts an older crowd. Service standards vary widely depending on the staff. Location is a 7/10 for me, still requires a train or bus to get to most places so you'll have to purchase Stockholm's 24/48/72 hour travel pass. Like with most Nordic hotels, no toothbrush / amenities beyond shower gel provided so be sure to pack your own.

Company policy?”

We booked room for 2+2 (kids 4 and 5 years) for 3 nights. Agoda gave two options, we took the cheaper one, of course. In the reception we needed to upgrade room because our room is not big enough for us! And we needed to pay for this 1650SEK (for 3 nights). USUALLY case like this hotel upgrade room for free. What amatourish business.

birger jarl is a good hotel in very convenient location just in the center. it stays in one of the most luxury areas of stockholm with many ethnic restaurants and butiques. you can easily walk to all attractions and streight to gamla stan. the building is from 70´s and rooms are quite small but very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated - it is a showcase of scandinavian design. breakfast is great. the hotel has even a garage which is quite rare in stockholm.

Hidden gem in the great capital”

Great location, great service

Stayed only for one night but the comfort, location and the service of their staff will most likely make me want to stay there again. Location-wise, it is a walking distance from Östermalm (Stureplan), as well as the city centre (Norrmalm). A nice brisk walk along the Birger Jarlgatan will show you some great little gems of Stockholm - contemporary interior design shops, american-italian inspired cafes, antique book shops, and so on. There is a Hemköp supermarket just around the corner from the hotel - very handy when you're staying with a baby/small child and need food and other things. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. There is even a parking underneath the hotel. One bad point - the dinner at the restaurant is limited, in small quantities and over priced. So if you would like to eat something, eat out. Otherwise the bar itself seems fine and quite popular.

Birger Jarl Hotel”

Excellent value for money
Rooms are small but this is the case for most hotels in Sweden

The Birger Jarl Hotel is centrally located within the city of Stockholm Sweden. Just a short walk away are many tourist attractions including ther main shopping precinct and wonderful restaurants. The Hotel is clean and is excellent value for money. The buffet breakfast is fantastic and provides a wide range of items that would satisfy everyone. On the top floor there is a small gym and sauna which is the perfect place to visit after a day of work. The hotel is very suitable as a both a business and tourist venue.

We enjoyed very much our 3-day stay at the Birger Jarl, the room was kind of small but comfortable, and the service was very friendly and efficient. Since we only stayed for breakfast and sleeping we did not make use of any other services. We specially appreciated that we could get a fresh coffee and a prepacked breakfast at 6.15 in the morning of our departure before official breakfast time.
