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.

Michelin Guide "Large, central hotel boasting good leisure and meeting facilities."
Lonely Planet "Located in a modern tower block, with all the usual luxury mod cons." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Stockholm’s best known hotels, the Royal Viking offers two bars, one in the ground floor atrium and the exciting Sky Bar on the top floor, as well as the excellent Stockholm Fisk Restaurant."
Star Service "This hotel occupies an undistinguished eight-story building, pinned between the World Trade Center and Central Station, and handy to airport buses and the express train to Arlanda Airport." Full review

The renovated rooms are definitely worth requesting.

"This upscale chain hotel is predictable in terms of its generic decor and the features it offers, but you can't beat its central location that's right by the main train station." Full review
