Hotel Esplanade, BW Signature Collection

It's one of the best hotels I've ever been to! 1. Location is incredible, hotel is located in front of water, so the view is great. You have a few supermarkets really close + the hotel is close to many important spots (15 min from the old town, 20 min from the railway station, 10 min from the museum island). And the whole area where it's located is nice and fashionable. 2. Breakfasts are so delicious! You have scrambled eggs, oatmeal, meatballs, bacon and all that necessary stuff, but besides you have incredible herring, Swedish shrimp salad with dill, delicious bakery... Special thanks to the staff working in the kitchen and dining room, when I saw them it was obvious they care if people are satisfied. Felt like we are at their house, I always appreciate such things! 3. Room itself was nice and spacious. They give as an update for free, so the room was probably even better than it could be. It was very cool to spend time there, so huge thank you! Everything was clean and comfortable, shower was awesome as well. We had slippers and bathrobes there. 4. The hotel is old but that's the point! It's so beautiful inside and you feel like you're in XX century (in a good way of course). P.S. There was no kettle in every room but there was a coffee machine at the first floor so you could grab a cup anytime :)

We arrived earlier, so our room was not ready yet. However, the upgraded room was offered at a reasonable price. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The building is exceptional: old and nice. We got the information about the history of the building. Breakfast was very good. We appreciate the possibility of having coffee or tea all day. Also, there is a possibility to buy wine at the reception. The location is perfect - on the river, near the bridge. If you like to walk, so you can easily reach the main Station - it takes about 15-20 minutes.

A beautiful historic building in a lovely neighborhood, within walking distance to many parks, museums, and Gamla Stan. We loved that our rooms had balconies and that the common areas were so inviting. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. Ferry and tram service were close. Friendly staff helped out when we needed advice and offered to store our luggage for a late departure. I hope to stay here again!

Hotel Esplanade is a homey, cozy hotel with a beautiful view of the harbor. We have stayed there before so we know what to expect and that's why we chose it. The breakfast is also the best part of the stay, Scandinavian delicacies and strong coffee. And all day tea/coffee available in the lobby. Bonus: a sauna is also available with robes, slippers and towels.

Breakfast was very good. There were a lot of things to have for breakfast. As it was in the highseason we were scheduled to have breadkfast at a specific hour. It was a bit tight. My father in law was not able to finish his breakfast within time. Room was nice and clean. The reception staff was very very helpful - e.g. the suggestions of where to go an eat nearby were just superbe. They really did anything to help us havin a good day. The location of the hotel was excellent if you want to see the WASA ship, Gamla Stand, the Castle and want to go on a cruise.
