Hotel Skeppsholmen, Stockholm, a Member of Design Hotels

Overall a comfortable and pleasant hotel in a historical building on a quiet and conveniently located island near the city center and the old town and across from another island containing major museums, all easily accessible by walking, ferries or buses. Front desk personnel very pleasant and helpful. Good restaurant on premises, included nice breakfast with excellent coffee. Only minor criticisms were odd style of bathroom sink, artistically interesting but extremely non-functional, and unsupportive pillows. Room otherwise quite adequate with pretty view over bay.

Breakfast was plentiful, healthy, relaxed and had a wide variety of well presented dishes, breads, pastries etc Every member of staff was friendly, helpful and always ready to help with questions eetc Location was perfect for exploring the city - quiet and picturesque, yet only a 10-15 minute walk to the central building interesting to tourists such as the National museum and Royal Palace) Room was airy with lovely view of the sea. Linen was soft as soft!

Breakfast was good, staff efficient and pleasant. The building including its history was interesting. Location on the island was unusual and surrounded by trees. Options of walking across the bridge or a ferry to the Old Town and Djurgarden were great. The three armchairs in the room were comfortable; the room was large and light, and windows could be opened.

Location - Beautiful hotel in really tranquil location. Close enough (20 mins) that you can walk to town, but on its own little island - silent at night and stunning views of the sea and old town across the water. Room - spacious, clean, calm. Extremely comfortable bed. Thoughtful interiors, strong shower. Service - incredible, nothing was too much trouble. Plug converters, extra pillows, a kettle with beautiful loose-leaf tea, ironing board and iron, and an extra early breakfast to go was prepared for us one morning when we had to get out before the breakfast buffet opened. They were also kind enough to offer us a complementary early check in because the room was ready when we arrived. Everyone kind and professional. Food - breakfast buffet is exceptional quality. Also dined one night and food was beautiful.

Very clean, great restaurant, staff were great. Bus stop very close and easy to use. We were there at the beginning of January, there was ice and snow, so some might have found it a little difficult to walk off the island (elderly, children, people with motion difficulties), but the bus was quite frequent!
