Travel + Leisure "The futuristic lobby lounge (white walls; podlike tables and chairs) is heated with renewable energy, and some bedrooms have colorful mood lighting by way of energy-saving bulbs." Full review
Rough Guide "The last word in Nordic design – standard rooms are individually decorated in shades of white and steely grey, inspired by Lapland’s amazing northern lights."
Time Out "The Nordic Light is stylish in a very Scandinavian way: white walls, wooden floors, absurdly comfortable beds, hearty breakfasts." Full review
Star Service "Has attempted to leave behind the traditional Nordic blond look and venture out of the box, with a vibrant modern style that is inspired by the Northern Lights. " Full review

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
Star Service "Anyone familiar with this chain will pinch themselves as they enter the lobby." Full review

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

"Scandic Gamla Stan is a 52-room, upper-middle-range chain hotel set in a charming 17th-century property in the quaint, cobbled surrounds of Stockholm's Old Town." Full review
Fodor's "The feel of historical Stockholm living is rarely stronger than in this quiet hotel tucked away on a narrow street in one of the Gamla Stan's 17th-century houses." Full review
