Michelin Guide "Comfy, functional bedrooms... Bright, modern restaurant."
Fodor's "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)."
Time Out "Now run by the First Hotel chain, it fully exploits its waterside location, with each of the 144 handsomely decorated rooms enjoying some sort of water view." Full review
Star Service "On a picturesque harbor, this hotel pleases with its handsome, regionally influenced decor and fine location." Full review

Michelin Guide "An unassuming facade belies its chic interior."
Concierge "The staff makes a concerted effort to keep you happy, and recent bathroom upgrades were a good idea."
Lonely Planet "Currently, standard rooms are on the small and tired side, with a vague ‘70s vibe, but the designer rooms, each put together by a different Swedish designer, are an immersive experience." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Although it’s named after the man who founded Stockholm in the 13th century, the Hotel Birger Jarl is all about modern design." Full review
Fodor's "This stylish hotel welcomes guests to an airy lobby with a classic Scandinavian feel." Full review
Jetsetter "A stylish stay in a central, well-connected location near Stockholm Observatory - includes breakfast." Full review
Time Out "Fans of genuine retro should check themselves into the Retro Room, which looks just as it did in 1974, having accidentally been overlooked during the hotel's renovation." Full review
Frommer's "Though the Birger Jarl isn't as hot as it was when it launched in 2000, it's still the best place to stay in downtown Stockholm if you're a sucker for Scandinavian design." Full review

For a flashback experience request room #247, a 1974 holdover accidentally overlooked during the 2000 makeover.
