Guest Reviews
The 'City Hotel Söder' enjoys an enviable position in the charming Södermalm district. Its excellent location is frequently highlighted for being peaceful yet centrally located, close to public transport with the Zinkensdamm subway station just a stone's throw away. This makes it incredibly convenient for guests looking to explore the city with easy access to both the metro and various bus lines. The proximity to local shops, restaurants and bars enhances its appeal, allowing visitors to enjoy the vibrant neighborhood's offerings. The area is not only central but also boasts quiet streets and beautiful parks with stunning views of Stockholm, providing a serene environment amidst the urban hustle. The hotel's location near Skinnarviksparken and the city's old town adds to its attractiveness, making it perfect for sightseeing on foot. Moreover, the combination of a cozy atmosphere, modern facilities and budget-friendly pricing makes it an excellent choice for travelers.
At the City Hotel Söder, breakfast has been a mixed experience for guests. While it’s complimentary for some, the overall consensus is that the breakfast offering is quite basic and could benefit from more variety. Guests have appreciated the presence of essentials like bread, eggs and yogurt, but many have noted the limited selection and a lack of fresh options such as vegetables and whole grain bread.
The breakfast area is described both as adequate and modern, yet some found it to be dark and uninviting, mainly due to its cellar location. There were some positive remarks about the cleanliness of the breakfast facilities and the breakfast being sufficient for most guests’ needs. The typical Swedish hotel breakfast, mentioned by some, seemed to meet expectations without exceeding them.
Notably, there were concerns about the quality and freshness of some items, such as bread and the lack of choices beyond basic fare. A few guests mentioned specific disappointments like powdered eggs and lack of fresh juice. Despite these issues, some guests found the breakfast satisfactory, especially considering the cost factor.
In contrast, several reviews were quite critical, labeling the breakfast as subpar or even terrible and not aligned with the price paid. Complaints ranged from meager portions to unappetizing food with some describing the breakfast experience as the worst they have encountered in a hotel.
It’s clear that while some guests were content with the straightforward breakfast offerings, many others felt there was significant room for improvement in terms of diversity, quality and presentation.
City Hotel Söder offers a mixture of experiences, especially when it comes to its rooms. Many guest reviews have noted the rooms as clean with recently renovated spaces providing a fresh and comfortable atmosphere. Spacious rooms and large windows are particular highlights, offering ample light and attractive views. Some rooms are equipped for comfort with big TVs and functional amenities like mini-fridges and safes.
However, several reviews also point out variability in room size with numerous mentions of small or tiny rooms, described as quite suitable for solo travelers or short stays but potentially cramped for longer visits or two people. While some rooms are praised for their charming and cozy character, others are criticized for outdated decor and occasional maintenance issues, such as broken fixtures or drafty windows.
Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms are appreciated, though some guests have pointed out issues with uncomfortable mattresses and insufficient cleaning, especially in high-use areas like bathrooms and around beds. Essential but basic furniture is a common theme and while the hotel's simplicity suits some, others feel the furniture lacks stability and style.
Conveniently located close to public transportation, pharmacies and eateries, the hotel remains a suitable option for travelers looking for value for money. Despite the mixed feedback on room conditions, the hotel generally meets guest expectations for basic, functional and affordable accommodation with the added bonus of friendly and responsive staff.

Many found the beds to be comfortable with some describing them as soft and spacious and others noting a restful night’s sleep thanks to the quiet and peaceful ambiance. The bedding was often described as clean and tidy and there were mentions of good-quality pillows.
However, there were some recurring issues about the bed conditions. Several guests experienced discomfort due to worn-out mattresses, edges or overly soft beds which resulted in back pain for a few. A notable issue was the thin duvets and a handful of guests mentioned unpleasant smells or beds being dirty, which unfortunately detracted from their overall experience. Despite these negative points, others still found the beds to meet their comfort needs adequately with some feeling the beds exceeded their expectations. Overall, while many guests enjoyed their stay because of the comfortable beds, consistency in bed quality remains an area for improvement.
