Hotel Birger Jarl

It’s difficult to rate this hotel.
On one hand it’s got an excellent breakfast. I mean, really really good. They even have a fresh waffle making machine!
It’s in a great location, very close to the centre of town and a short walk from pretty much everything.
And on the other hand, the rooms are pretty small and not very nicely decorated, and considering the price, not very good value. It’s also pretty annoying that room service came to clean my room at 8am, before I was ready to leave my room! I also didn’t sleep very well in the bed.
So… 5 stars for the breakfast. 2 stars for the rooms. Tough, but it’s no good having an amazing breakfast if I haven’t had an amazing sleep, so 3 stars overall.

Localização perfeita e excelente hotel a preços bem razoáveis para Estocolmo. Bem próximo a meios de transporte, restaurantes, bares e supermercados. O café da manhã é delicioso e com uma enorme variedade. Quarto grande e bem confortável. Atendimento sensacional!
Fiquei hospedada primeiramente em um quarto onde a cama fazia um barulho horrível. Pedi na recepção para verificarem e eles prontamente me trocaram de quarto.

Great hotel! Fantastic breakfast, nice spacious rooms and a very good location. The hotel is located in the posh area of Stockholm and there’s great design shops and restaurants in the area.
Hotel personal is super friendly and the rooms are super clean.

Das Hotel Birger Jarl ist ein sehr nettes und freundlich sowie auch sauberes Hotel. Wir hatten das Zimmer 424 und für den Preis war das wirklich völlig ausreichend (105 € p.P. für 2 Übernachtungen übers WE inkl. Frühstück)
Zimmer sehr Sauber. Betten Sauber und sehr ordentlich.
Ein Stern Abzug, weil der einzige Deutsche Sender ARD war. In vielen anderen Hotels werden weit aus mehr Sender angeboten und es war auch kein paytv vorhanden. Da 5 Sterne für mich nach Perfektion streben gebe ich deswegen nur 4 Sterne.
Im Zimmer ist sonst alles vorhanden was man für den Alltag braucht.
Bügelbrett, Bügeleisen, Trockner, Wasserkochen mit paar Päckchen Pulverkaffee, Save, Minibar mit Zwei Flaschen Wasser.
Das Frühstück sieht sehr sehr hochwertig und lecker aus. Es sah nicht nur lecker aus — es war auch sehr lecker. Von Eier und Speck, bis Brote und Traditionelle Süße Sachen war alles dabei.
Hotel ist relativ zentral gelegen, zum super Restaurant Sue Ellen sind es 1 Minute zu Fuß. Zum Hard Rock Café sind es 500Meter, zum Hafen ca 15 min zu Fuß. Zur Central Station ca 15 min zu Fuß.
Wir haben alles zu Fuß erlebt und gesehen.
Sehr Empfehlenswert und würde ich beim nächsten Stockholm Aufenthalt wieder buchen.
Daumen Hoch

A great spot if you’re working in the building next door. If you are, go up to the 6^th floor and use the door that connects to that building. You might need a building pass to use that door, so ask your employer!
It’s not that great if you’re there for more than a few days. Their pillows are kind of terrible, and in the winter the floors can be a bit chilly. Other than that, it’s really not that bad. I hope to some day stay in the Forgotten Room.
The hotel is fairly central, and there’s not a lot of street noise to be heard. There’s a gym on the 7^th floor, and the breakfast is half-​decent.
Overall, it’s not too shabby. There are better options, but if you like the option of being able to go to work without going outside, this is solid.

Hôtel très bien situé, proche des transports en commun et du centre ville.
L’accueil est typiquement suédois, cad aimable et souriant.
Les chambres classiques sont assez petites, ainsi que leur salles de bain mais toutefois fonctionnelles. La déco se veut moderne et design. Il y a aussi un fer et une table a repasser, un sèche cheveux pas très puissant. Caché dans un des meubles, une bouilloire et des sachets de café/​thé.
Le petit déjeuner est assez copieux, le buffet offre un vaste choix de mets. Je vous recommande leurs céréales avec. Des fruits secs et du yaourt (à composer vous même), un délice. Bref, de quoi mettre en forme pour une bonne journée de visite et de marche.
Le wifi est gratuit mais né tient pas très longtemps sur l’iPhone, il faut trop souvent retaper les codes d’accès.
Plutôt une bonne expérience ici. Je recommande vivement.

The hotel Birger Jarl is a fairly central business hotel in Stockholm. It is walkable (15 min) from the central station if you do not have any luggage. Otherwise it is easy to access via the subway (green subway line, two stops, station Radmansgatan, from the central station) and then a few minutes walk.
The hotel is outside the main tourist and business area but it is still close to most things. The area also has a number of interesting restaurants.
The hotel does not look like anything special from the outside. The lobby is also uninspiring. The staff at the reception have on the other hand always been service minded and polite. Last time I stayed here I had booked a cheap Internet rate (around 800 SEK) and should have been put in one of the small standard rooms. I asked if they had the ‘forgotten’ room (or the 70s room as it is also known) available and luckily it was available and I got it without any extra charge.
I really love this room but it is a bit special so it is not for everyone. The room in question (number 247) is at the end of a corridor (almost around a corner) and when the hotel was refurbished it was simply forgotten. They decided to keep it and just have it slightly ‘freshened up’. The room is rather large (to be in Europe) and actually consists of two rooms. One is like a lounge with sofa, TV, 70s inspired entertainment center and also mini-​bar. There is also a desk/​work space. The bedroom also has a desk, TV, iron and safe,
The bathroom is fairly recently renovated but they have kept the same style with green walls so it follows the same design. There is free wifi in the room as well as the lobby.
The hotel breakfast was above average, not great but still great compared to what is normally offered at hotels in Sweden (compared to the chains like Scandic and Elite the breakfast here is world class but in an international perspective it is ok compared to what I would expect at at a 4-​star hotel).
