Jetsetter "A bright and modern hotel on the super-hip island of Kungsholmen, with breakfast and a dining discount." Full review
Time Out "Thanks to its swish decor and its location around the corner from Scheelegatan, one of the city's busiest restaurant rows, this hotel has become a hub of activity." Full review
