"The rooms looking out over the water are fantastic here, and for a small supplement you can get a room with a private sauna and Jacuzzi."
DK Eyewitness
"Housed in three 18th-century buildings and a historic steamship (for the conference facilities) anchored nearby in the harbour, the Reisen is a lively location."
Rough Guide
"One of Stockholm’s classic hotels, dating back to the eighteenth century. Rooms are decked out with handsome wood panelling and all have bathtubs (not the norm in Sweden)."
