NOFO Hotel, BW Premier Collection

Bit of a boutique hotel at lively Södermalm. Partly under construction. Service was partly very pleasent, partly standard. Breakfast was very good with variety of non standard items. Interior (on the side we were) french cabaret style. Room was quite cold and no way to increase the heat. Not too good lighting in the room (not even if the one broken bulb of the lamp in the ceiling gets fixed). Maybe deliberate to go with the Paris back alley theme. Pre-bookable parking space in the near-by garage very very narrow, forget sqeezing your Range Rover to it, unless you’re able to climb out of the car’s window. Volvo V40 barely fit. Entre at the small innergård, which could be nice place to sit in the summer. All in all, pretty much what I expected, didn’t blow my mind, but served the purpose well less

Located on the hill of Sodermalm, where the restaurants and bars offer a huge range of options, the Nofo hotel (currently undergoing a refurb, but still open) is only a 15-20 minute walk from Gamla Stan (the old quarter) or 5 minutes from the nearest tube station. The hotel itself has a really relaxed vibe - staff are friendly and there are a sequence of 4 seating areas where guests can sit downstairs and enjoy a drink/some food. Breakfasts at the hotel are worth the money - huge selection of healthy, hot and other options all with variety of teas, coffees and juices. Excellent way to set yourselves up before walking along the waterfront during the day. The rooms are clean and certainly a good size (ours was on the first floor), with en suites and although in a central location there was little noise either from outside the hotel or from other guests going to-and-fro. Staff (3 different receptionists) were really helpful and keen to help. For those not trying to bluff it through in Swedish (I tried a bit but failed), their range of languages is good and their English is flawless. We'd certainly consider going back again and staying at the hotel. less

While this hotel can be a little confusing to find, once you walk through the courtyard and walk in, you're going to love it. No, there is no elevator or lift and you'll have to walk up & down the stairs everything. Yes, the rooms are small and the bathrooms are smaller. But this hotel, for the price point, service, breakfast and location is perfect. You can walk to several train stops with plenty of restaurants and nightlife in the area. If you're a solo traveler, you will love this place! less

Was impressed as soon as we entered the courtyard, great atmosphere. My room was on the second floor, unfortunately no lift, but beautiful decorated staircase and kept me exercised. Loved the deco of my room, had a great window seat with brilliant patterned cushions overlooking the leafy graveyard, which was very peaceful. Small on suite bathroom, which was sufficient for all needs. Fantastic breakfast so much choice, absolutely excellent, really enjoyed all the different things. There was plenty of places to eat and it could be taken out to the lovely courtyard and to be enjoyed in a peaceful atmosphere. We stayed for 4 days and one night we stayed there for dinner, I had a great pizza. The location is prefect very close to the subway station and lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Stayed in 3 different towns in Scandinavia, but this hotel comes up tops. Highly recommended!!!! less

For quick readers: - Nice decadent atmosphere - Beautiful interior especially at the bar - Very tiny bathroom (acutally wet-room) no shower box, just curtain - Dusty old furniture - Nice Garden with table - Delicious breakfast - Not for Business travellers - Excellent Staff - Great Location for Soder The room I had was very old, very fascinating decoration, but completely unpractical. There was no shower box, but just a curtain, so morning shower will make a mess all over your bathroom. Hotel is currently under renovation (so it may improve in the next few months. Delicious full complete breakfast Currently I would not come back here as it feels somehow not convenient. Room cleanliness could also be improved especially because very old curtains and bed header collect a lot of dust and need strong cleaning. less
