Michelin Guide
"Spacious bedrooms offer clean lines, neutral hues."
Travel + Leisure
"Despite a color palette seemingly inspired by the Nordic winter (slate gray; stark white; deep brown), the latest hotel in Stockholm’s central square is far from icy." Full review

Book room 355, which overlooks the square and has a small Juliet balcony.
Condé Nast Traveler
"Now a real hotel has opened here, and it’s knocking the competitors off the board thanks to impeccable style and service." Full review
Star Service
"The hotel commandeers two mid-18th-century buildings overlooking a historic plaza, creating a wonderful contrast with the look inside." Full review

Avoid the compact Standard rooms, especially if you can afford the bump up to a Superior of Deluxe room; the latter come with separate stall showers, soaking tubs and the best views over Norrmalmstorg Square.

"The gorgeous Nobis Hotel, a member of the eminently slick Design Hotels group, favors elegance over extravagance."
Frommer's
"Come for the lounge, stay for the...lounge. Seriously, you could spend an entire afternoon in one of the four "living rooms"." Full review

Upscale
"This upscale, centrally-situated property is housed in historic, 19th century buildings." Full review
Afar Magazine
"From the outside, the two imposing and ornate 19th-century buildings on ritzy Norrmalmstorg that house the Nobis hotel look traditional and almost staid, promising classical opulence." Full review
Independent
"Situated in the Norrmalmstorg Square, made famous by a robbery in 1973 that gave the world the term “Stockholm Syndrome” to describe how the hostages bonded with their captors, this hotel is close to many top attractions: the 13th-century Old Town, the Royal Palace, designer stores, museums and galleries are all within easy walking distance"

Choose between cheap dorms if you like snoring, or private rooms if you have the added cash.
