Byredo amenitiesįrom the second storey room, I had a view of the garden and the front entrance to the hotel so this can be a bit noisy in the day especially when the hotel is busy.

Otherwise the bathroom was kind of small similar to the bedroom. While unique, it did not really functioned optimally as a sink. What makes the bathroom special was the special sink that has a large pebble shaped object in the middle while water flows around it. However the partition was not wide enough to prevent water from splashing onto the floor during showering since they did have a rain shower head in addition to the hand-held shower head. At the end of the bathroom was a walk-in shower cubicle with a glass partition. Next to the desk is the bathroom which has been decorated with dark tiles to give it a modern look.

The alcove also holds a desk by the wall where the telephone, stationery and a welcome gift was placed at. Minibar and closetĪcross from the bed lies a small alcove which leads into the bathroom. And beneath that was the in-room minibar and safe. Beside it there was a basket with things that travellers might have forgotten to bring such as boxers and socks.

Room No: 138 Category: Standard Garden View Room Floor plan Since my intention was to head to the city for lunch, I left my luggage with them and head out to the city, returning in the afternoon to collect my key. Reception lobbyĪs I checked in around noon, I was told that my room was not ready and I could wait in the restaurant. A plain lobby with a reception desk receives guests and a staff member assisted me with the luggage as there was some stairs on the way to the reception desk. The lobby and reception is located in the further end when arriving from the city with a garden and patio seating outside. Originally an army barrack, the hotel comprises of 2 long 2-storey buildings. The unique part was that this island is of walking distance to the city and is a tourist attraction in its own right. For the remainder of my stay in Stockholm, I chose to stay at Hotel Skeppsholmen, which is another Design Hotel located in one of the numerous islands that makes up the city of Stockholm. ![]()
