We loved our stay! Fabulous location and the room had so much historic character but modern updates to make this perfect for us. The staff was friendly and helpful, even making us a bagged breakfast to go when we had to head to the airport super early our last morning. If I am ever lucky enough to be back in the area, I would look forward to staying with you again, thank you!

Room not comfortabel

Charming hotel in the old town. The neighbourhood is a bit noisy till about 10/10.20 when it is the quietest. This is a true 1707 built Old Town experience, with wooden beams and winding small staircase. There is no lift so if you are not able to manage the stairs, this place isn’t for you. I really enjoyed the stay. Check in was about 30 seconds long, and the room was clean and comfy. It is central for the Old Town. The only criticism is that i wish the curtains were more blackout. In the summer it is still light and the curtains are too think for that. Breakfast was great and the staff are so friendly. I would stay there easily again.

Amazing stay right in the heart of Gamla Stan. Yes it’s an old building and with that comes quirks but if you’re happy with that then go for it

Great hotel in the heart of the city

Excellent location in the old town. Rooms are very comfortable. No elevator and narrow stairs should be a consideration for those with heath and fitness issues.

This is a very historic and charming hotel in the heart of the old city. I would refer to this more as a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel because there are only a few rooms and no real lobby/front desk. If you need to reach someone after 1 pm, you must do so by phone. Upon arrival you will be given a code for the door and your room key will be outside of your room. Rooms are all accessed via a very narrow spiral staircase; there is no elevator. If you foresee steps being an issue, request the second floor. This all worked out fine for us, but if you are expecting a full-service hotel, you may be surprised. Breakfast was served each morning, and fruit and snacks were available throughout the day. The room was very spacious with a decent sized bathroom (which looked recently updated). We loved the warmth of the room and the character of the surrounding neighborhood, which has plenty of lovely shops and restaurants. Gamla Stan is a great launching spot to see much of central Stockholm as well. We visited at the end of April, which isn't quite the busy season yet, so we truly enjoyed being able to walk into any restaurant or museum without any lines.

We had a wonderful stay!!

The Sven Ventaparre is an authentic older hotel in the heart of Sweden's charming old town, Gamla Stan. The breakfast that was included was a nice selection of fresh scratchmade pastries, made-to-order coffee (expresso, cappiccino, etc), tea, juice, yogurt, granola and fresh fruit. Traveler's should note there is no lift and a spiral stair case. We stayed on the top floor and it was well worth the climb. The hotel is central to everything and just a 10 min walk or 1 metro stop from the train station. A metro card will give you access to all city public transportation including buses and ferries. The hotel was a short walk to the ferry stop that takes you to the island with Skansen and many museums. The Vassa is a must!

Great location. Very friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast (best so far on the trip). 400 year old building so you’re trading modern standards for charm… and charm is on 10+ scale.
