Michelin Guide
"15C building near the Royal Palace, packed with nautical curios. Charming, classical breakfast room; compact bedrooms with functional furniture and modern bathrooms."
DK Eyewitness
"The Lady Hamilton is a superior family hotel located in the heart of Gamla Stan amongst shops, museums, and the hustle-bustle of historic Stockholm."
Rough Guide
"Traditional hotel in a building dating from the 1470s, with charming rooms tastefully decorated in old-fashioned Swedish style."
Time Out
"A ship's figurehead and a portrait of Nelson's mistress dominate the lobby at the four-star Lady Hamilton, but the rest of this warren-like building (dating from 1470) is stuffed with antiques." Full review
Star Service
"In Old Town opposite the Royal Palace, a block from its fun but less fashionable sibling Lord Nelson, this charming old-fashioned hotel sits just below its more elegant big sister, Victory Hotel." Full review

The new Scandic Hotel Gamla Stan is getting some welcome refinements that will appeal to travelers looking to avoid a quaint theme, even if it addresses a historical dame with a history-changer of a husband.
Lonely Planet
"Expect old-style luxury (with more-modern touches where it counts, such as in the bathrooms)." Full review
