Location is fantastic, right on the main street of the historic district of Gamla Stan, yet surprisingly quiet in the evenings, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. It's also incredibly convenient for exploring other islands, all of which are within walking distance. The nautical theme throughout the hotel is super cute and fun, adding a unique touch to the ambiance. Staff was exceptionally nice, always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were spotless and if you want you can ask staff to clean your room during your stay. Overall, a wonderful stay.

We booked two Standard Single Rooms, however one room was significantly smaller than the other which was surprising since the cost was the same. The breakfast was very basic, would be nice to have the option of eggs in the morning too (however, it was good that there were vegan options for those interested). Not a fan of the two square pillows on the single bed, this made it a bit awkward to sleep.

For someone who loves naval history, this charming hotel is so much fun - completely dedicated to maritime antiques, paintings, etc. You feel like you are on an old ship! The rooms are quite small (I stayed in a single and it was tiny!) but still comfortable, complete with a desk, TV, and bathroom. The breakfasts are good, though somewhat basic. I found the staff to be very kind and helpful. And the location can't be beat - shops and restaurants are right outside of your door, and then museums are within walking distance.

Just know that the rooms - at least single rooms - are quite small.

My recent stay at this Stockholm hotel was generally positive. The room was clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant space to relax after a day of exploring the city. The breakfast was decent, offering a variety of options to start the day. The staff were friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome. The hotel's location was a definite highlight, placing me within easy walking distance of many popular attractions and public transportation. Additionally, the price was reasonable, providing good value for the quality of the accommodations. While there were no standout features, this hotel is a solid choice for travelers seeking a comfortable and convenient stay in Stockholm. We enjoyed all the Nelsom memorabilia as have a family connection

As above

Could not have had a better location- right in the main street in Gamla Stan. Loved the decor and the artifacts throughout the hotel. The library is a wonderful quiet place to relax and watch the people on the street below. Especially loved the environmentally conscious breakfast containers. The rooms were small, but cozy and well equipped with lighting, fans, a closet and TV. Breakfast was simple, with little variety from day to day, but allowed us to grab something quick to eat before exploring the beautiful city. A charming gem along the main pedestrian street!

We were so looking forward to the outdoor rooftop terrace but were told upon arrival it was under renovation. Ironically, we heard no evidence of construction in progress during our stay.

Excellent location in the very center of the old town. Best value in the area. Very clean, very good breakfast (including hard boiled eggs!), the furnishings and the linens in my room were new and of high-quality and the bathroom floor had radiant heat! This super boutique hotel has awesome appeal and character, and has a common library room with a full glass wall overlooking one of the most appealing old town streets…plus, there is a rooftop deck which is mine boggling…Awesome!

inability to accommodate earlier check-in… Not even one hour…

Located in a very convenient place, a center of the old town. A walking distance to many sightseeing spots. The building and its facility is somethig unique, with some special atmosphere, interesting to stay. Room windows are openable, you can get fresh air. TV in the room supports a internet connection, you can enjoy Yutube or something.

I stayed at a single room, it was a bit too small. Breakfast was more less standard, which can have been a bit better.

First, I would like to mention that my review below is for Victory Hotel, part of collectors hotels along with Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, and not for our initial reservation for Hotel Nelson, as there were renivations going on during our stay. We were proposed to switch hotels and we definetely were happy about this. Attention to details - for example the temporary tatoos (free of charge), the ornamented corridors (like maritime museum). Also the rich breakfast - especially the salmon and herring, which is not typical for other parts of Europe. Special sweets for St. Valentine. Marvelous coffee. Everyone could prepare tea and coffee free of charge on each floor - useful for colder days. Also - the staff prepared a breakfast to go (fresh sandwiches and coffee) at 5.30 a.m., as we have to catch a flight. - Lication - of couse. 5 min walk from all the sites in Gamla Stan. No need to use public transport. Convinient to come back for small rest if needed.

A small incovinience was the check-in at 15.00, as we arrive earlier (12.00h), and unfortunately the room was not ready. I highlight that this was as announced on the site of the hotel and in the reservation - just no luck for the day of our arrival. The staff was very kind. We gave our luggage for safekeeping (free of charge).

This was one of the highlights of my trip! What a charming hotel! The place oozes character and authenticity. Numerous items are antiques, taken from ships, and what they reconstructed from this, really makes you feel like you are on board a ship. While being a small hotel, they had some unique amenities--there is a library on the second floor with floor-to-ceiling window that overlook the main shopping drag in Gamla Stan. There was the "poop deck" on the top floor, where you can sit outside amongst the tin roofs of the Gamla Stan. Based on the view up there, it is HIGHLY unique to have a deck up amongst the roofs. And oh, the sunset you can get up there, with a view of the church spire in Riddarholm, and the tower of City Hall. Breakfast was petite, but sweet--individual Weck jars of fruit, individual carafes of orange juice, hand-packaged bags of muesli, etc. Same to be said of my room (petite and sweet). It was the length of the bed, and not much wider in the other direction, but it worked great for me, a solo traveler. The bed was slightly wider than a single bed, and it was raised off the ground so I could keep my suitcase underneath (very practical). There was a big window in there, which helped with lighting and lending a sense of expansion. Honestly, the room was very small, but I loved it. And finally, the location. So central and walkable for Stockholm; and I find Gamla Stan to be incredibly safe. Additionally, the bus stop is 2-3 blocks away, and that can get you to the front door of the Arland Express. The tunnelbana (metro) is 4-5 blocks away, and that had two lines that went there, so your options were endless for where you could get to. I will say the hotel is on the main drag for shopping in Gamla Stan, so there are a ton of tourists outside the front door throughout the day, but that also means that there are shops open later, if you are hoping to do some shopping after most other stores in Stockholm close.

I had no complaints this trip! I will say though, I have the smallest hair of resistance about returning to Lord Nelson's if I have someone traveling with me, simply because I don't know how big the room for two people will be. My room was designed for one person only, so maybe a room for 2 does have more floor space in and around the bed so that you're not getting in each other's way. Most likely I'll give it a go, because I loved the charm, amenities (poop deck/library) and location of the hotel so much, but it is something sitting in the back of my mind.

Ahoy! This hotel was perfect for me! My summer travels theme was boats, and it fit right in. I loved all the Lord Nelson related kitsch and was quite fascinated by the story of the family that collected all this memorabilia -- also for its two nearby sister hotels. I loved my cabin-like room and albeit it was small, it was quaint, comfortable and a great value, and I fell in love with the adorable Ship Night Light. The (twin) bed was super comfortable and the shower was fantastic -- and though it was warm out, the heated bathroom floor was nice to have. The breakfast was not a huge spread, but just right with a good variety. The location was excellent, in the heart of the Old City (Gamla Stan) so close to everything. As I was there in the high season, the area could become packed with tourists, but that's the price you pay to be in the best location. For what was provided, I felt this was a great value for the price. I'll be back!

I liked everything about this quaint hotel. If I had to find one improvement: The room is small, but a small kettle would have been a big plus. I like to make my own coffee. To be informed: I had asked for "a room with a view", but didn't realize that with the narrow streets (like 5' wide!) make that impossible. I don't fault the hotel for that, as it is in the old town and the streets are very narrow. I didn't realize that until I got there, though the hotel gave me a higher floor in an effort to give me a nicer view. :-)

Location was wonderful - in the heart of the Old Town, but within walking distance of many tourist attractions, boat ferries and Central Station. Staff were super helpful. Hotel is very quirky, with a focus on Admiral Lord Nelson and the sea - even our bathroom had a window porthole! Breakfast was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay here - it was very comfortable.

Only 'fault' was that there were no tea/coffee making facilities.
