Michelin Guide
"An unassuming facade belies its chic interior."

"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

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

Fodor's
"This Best Western is an oasis of calm in the busy urban streets of Södermalm. Built in 1780, it was originally a brewery, then a jail, then a hospital, then a temporary housing area." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Family owned and highly recommended, Columbus is nestled in a quiet part of Södermalm, near T-Medborgarplatsen station, and set around a cobblestone courtyard by a pretty park."
DK Eyewitness
"Voted one of the city’s best hotels in 2005, the Columbus is in the popular Södermalm area near restaurants, shopping and nightlife."
