Great Location!
You can’t beat the location, is perfect between restaurants, museums and walking anywhere. There is no elevator so be careful with full size suitcases. And it was weird to not have paper towels in the kitchen 😁

This apartment was not up to the standard is shows in the pictures. The main reason for booking this apartment was the access to the washer and dryer. It is very hard to find washers and dryers in the city. Well, last minute update there was no washer or dryer. No one to speak with because it was all automated.
Also, the towels were gross. One towel was ripped and another towel had black stains.
Furthermore, the apartment I stayed in was across from another apartment where we can see into each others apartments. Only a few windows had blinds.
Additionally, the apartment didn't have an elevator. Made it very hard to go up multiple flights of stairs with lots of heavy luggage.
Finally, the apartment had a bad bathroom odor all over. Very smelly.
Apartment smelled old and smoky. Some of the dishes weren’t clean. Not well insulated so very very noisy. Place is old and needs some work.

While the location is fantastic be advised that noise at night from the street below is very loud till almost 2 am. Not an issue if you can close the windows but it was in the summer and we had to leave them all open. One of the bedrooms is also only accessible through another. Not stocked with coffee or any other staples. Early morning noise was also bad from store deliveries and garbage pick up. No one really slept well.

Don’t sleep here, because you won’t sleep here
If you’re one of this people who like to sleep at some point of the night, this place might not be for you. It’s located over a pub with live music until midnight. The whole floor vibrates with the music. Then at 6am, they dispose all the bottles from the previous day waking up every living soul within a mile radius. I’m surprised a place like this is even at Hotels.com / This place doesn’t have the minimum standards to be considered a hotel. It’s just an old building with a keypad and worn down floors.

Gamla Stan Apartment
Terrific people to work with and great value for the money. Centrally located in Stockholm.
Two flights of stairs, no lift, the only downside.
A good bit of street noise until about 1am. Reasonable trade off for the central location.

Vibrant apartment in the heart of Old Stockholm
Great Gamla Stan location, minutes from the cathedral and palace and just across the river from the central station and the boat tours.
The apartment we stayed in was directly above a pub, so we were expecting rowdy nights, but the only issue we had was the 7AM keg deliveries and glass recycling din. This is to be expected in a working urban environment so it’s not a complaint, just an observation.
The apartment itself was perfect for a couple. The kitchen was well equipped (even came with earplugs!), the bathroom was cramped but functional, the bed was very comfortable. The only negatives were occasional smells of the city wafting in from the street (again, to be expected and accepted) and the door to the old apartment let in cigarette smoke from the hallway.
Nice & lovely apartment in the old town Gamla Stan, lovely neighborhood, all necessary equipment provided in the apt. Only one thing, no elevator and we had to climb up to second floor (actually 3rd fl) with super big luggage. Good service from ApartDirect Team, quick response whenever we had a problem!

Lovely downtown apartment
Lovely apartment in the old village of Stockholm. Near to shops, restaurants, and the metro for Gamla Stan. Plenty of space for a family of 5 and had everything we needed in the kitchen.

Excellent location in old town with easy access to shopping, sighntseeing, restaurants, and the subway. The flat was neat and cute. However, the bathroom was very small making hard to maneuver. It would have been nice to get instructions how the heat and TV worked and also to be warned about the 6 am cleaning of the pub below (glass bottles thrown out and dragging of furniture). Otherwise great place!
Really nice and spacious property in the centre of Gamala Stan. You can walk into the centre of Stockholm without thinking and walk to local transport. Really nice customer service when I called to check my information.

Great place in prime location!
We stayed here with our family of 6. Worked out well for us. Our kids enjoyed each having their own little space (2 in the little bedrooms, one on the sofa bed), and baby slept in bed w/ us (no infant crib on site). Separate toilet room from shower room is convenient for a larger family (or other groups of people). The location is excellent - right in the heart of the old city and easy to walk to everything. Kitchen was well equipped. Washing machine dials are all in Swedish - we had to ask a Swedish friend to help! (maybe provide English translation/instruction near the washer).

The property is above a pub with live music until 1.30am or beyond. The used glass ware is collected before 8am for large bins
It is entirely unsuitable for a peaceful trip to Stockholm and entirely unsuitable for a work trip.
I would say it is completely unacceptable to rent this out at all - other than to kids partying until 2am.

The apartment was very comfortable, spacious and bright. It is in a great location. The restaurant downstairs has live music but we didn't find it intrusive or a problem with sleeping. I would definitely stay here again on any future visit to Stockholm.

Great accommodation in the heart of Gamla Stan
Very pleasant stay. Spacious apartment near everything. One large bedroom and two small bedrooms with twin mattresses. One pull out sofa. Shower, washing machine, and separate toilet. Full kitchen with washing machine. Would definitely stay again.
I liked the vintage look and that it was spacious and comfortable for the three of us. It had a comfortable sofa bed as well. One of the antique living room chairs was very wiggly so we didn’t dare sit on it. I wouldn’t remove it because it’s part of a set, but maybe put a sign or glue some late ornament on it so no one can use it. I definitely recommend you getting this apartment. We three had enough hot water but we were mindful. I suggest a water heater that is only turned on when in use and is more environmentally friendly and guests don’t have to worry about hot water but again I want to add that we didn’t ran out. I loved our apartment and stay.
Great location and accessible to shops, eating and easily walkable to all transport. Fair warning on the flights of stairs. Comfy beds and nice open plan
Overall a clean, large space located conveniently in Old Town. Cons - right above a tavern that has live music every night from 8-11pm, and trucks arriving every morning around 5-6am. There are lots of little steps up and down to trip over if you're not careful. My husband unfortunately hit his head almost every time leaving the bathroom as there's a step down out of the bathroom and a low threshold. Beds were comfortable and the space was clean and well equipped. There's old stone stairs and no elevator so be prepared.
