Michelin Guide
"Characterful 17C house in a pleasant Old Town setting. Cosy bedrooms are classically styled, well-maintained and equipped with good modern facilities; bathrooms are compact but smart."
DK Eyewitness
"Charming winding streets lead to the doorstep of this cosy establishment. Located close to the Royal Palace, portraits of Swedish royalty dating from the 1650s adorn the walls of every room."
Rough Guide
"Wonderfully situated in an elegant medieval building in Gamla Stan, with stylish yet old-fashioned rooms in 1700s Swedish design."
Time Out
"Just down the street from the Lord Nelson, this 51-room hotel in a 17th-century building is steps from the waterfront, but none of the rooms has a view." Full review
Lonely Planet
"If you fancy classic Swedish interiors, rush to Rica, where the smallish rooms feature everything from powder-blue wallpaper and dainty furniture to vintage chandeliers." Full review

Travelers are advised to ask for a large room, since the small Standard rooms measure a mere 200 sq ft.

DK Eyewitness
"Built in 1350 and filled with nautical antiques, this is the narrowest hotel in Stockholm as well as being a fascinating museum."
Rough Guide
"Sister hotel to the Lady Hamilton, this is the narrowest hotel in Sweden at just 5m wide and stuffed full of naval antiques and curiosities including an original letter from Nelson to Lady Hamilton."
Time Out
"Located right on Gamla Stan's tourist strip, this tall, 17th-century building with its glass-and-brass entrance is pretty ship-shape itself." Full review
Star Service
"On the busiest shop-lined, tourist-clogged street in Gamla Stan (Old Town), this very narrow four-story house shares management with the nearby Lady Hamilton Hotel and notably superior Victory Hotel." Full review
