Expert reviews
“If you can forgive the name, consider the Hobo, a 201-room hotel that opened in March 2017 on Brunkebergstorg, a central square currently undergoing a complete overhaul. Compact rooms employ clever design features geared toward sociable young travelers who value a lively scene, from the buzzy lobby cafe to the popular rooftop bar and restaurant, Tak.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Stockholm, Sweden.
“This new 200-room boutique hotel has a great location in the city centre, plus a mega-hip style that feels both cool and comfortable. Details like comic books on the bedside table and borrowable umbrellas add to the fun vibe.”
“Hobo has brought an urban community spirit to the revitalised Brunkebergstorg area of central Stockholm. Its Scandi-cool rooms (including windowless ‘sleepers’) attracts the hipster set, while a bar, café, restaurant and a SPACEby pop-up area for creative start-ups pulls in the locals.”

Staying at the Hobo Hotel in Stockholm is an experience every avid traveler must indulge in. The boutique hotel is centrally located in Brunkebergstorg and is a great representation of the rich culture of the people and land. Only recently opened, this hotel is fast becoming internationally recognized for its comfort, uniqueness and high standard of quality.

The Hobo Hotel’s alternative theme is showcased with curated art, organic food in the dining options and even a DIY repair corner. The décor tells stories with its placement and is situated to invoke an emotional response from its guests.
Awe is certainly one of these emotions, especially when guests step into their living quarters.

Overall exceptional experience!
Things I Loved; - Continental breakfast was exceptional with beautiful view of Stockholm. Up to high standards. - Location is convenient. 5min walk away from the subway and buses. It’s near food spots. - Staff are super helpful and present 24/7. - comfortable beds - Quick check-in - Nice bar with great beer on-site
- I placed the “clean my room” tag outside the door the night before, before 23:00. The room wasn’t cleaned the day after unfortunately. - The room I was in wasn’t very sound proof, I could hear the people next door’s conversations. I could hear loud music late at night.

Well-designed and comfortable rooms in central Stockholm - will stay here again!
Great location in central Stockholm, with simple check-in online. The rooms were small (but efficiently laid out) clean, well designed and comfortable, as advertised. Fantastic breakfast.
The shower was a bit messy - hard to control water from flowing under glass wall and into the bath room. Towels were small and scratchy,. Neither a big deal for a single night stay.

Very good
It had a free laundry. The location was great. The staff were great. Breakfast had great selection. Very few options at the bar other than pitsa which was good for vegetarians. Like they grow all their own herbs and spices. Room was fine for solo traveller. Very small for two.

Perfect location, comfort and quirky
Lovely quirky hotel with cute, but cool rooms with good facilities.
Would have been nice to have a mini-bar

Excellent location, excellent breakfast, excellent staff
The location was perfect. It was 10 easy minutes to T-Centralum and the central train station. It was easy to walk to Gamla Stan. And it is across the street with several good restaurants (as well as more restaurants in the immediate vicinity). The room was quiet, large, and clean. Loved everything. Breakfast was 5 star. The staff is all helpful and welcoming, especially Sebastian. He helped us with some ideas and made us feel right at home. I loved our stay there - it was our second.

Excellent location, comfy beds, delicious breakfast
The location was perfect and close to public transportation and the old town. The staff were very helpful, breakfast was outstanding, and the beds were comfortable.
The lint trap on the washing machine was full and caused a water leak, and the dryer didn’t work well (took over an hour to dry a load.)

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The breakfast was absolutely amazing with a wide variety of options to choose from, catering to all tastes. The rooftop area had a great atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and always greeted us with a smile. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great experience

Had a great time, will come again
I really loved the staff! Super friendly lovely people. Also the breakfast had great vegan options. The location was also superb. Everything was clean and the view from the breakfast was amazing.
Our room's shower didn't work properly, whenever you turned it on it got into a weird position and didn't hold when you tried to turn it. Also the other headboard thingie had loose screws and kept falling. These are just minor things but could affect some people's comfort. Also the Tapas bar across the street had insanely loud bass during night time, it would be wise to tell them to keep it down a bit.

Such a vibe
The whole vibe of Hobo hotel was amazing! The rooftop restaurant was a real standout as the food was incredible (definitely recommend dining there). The lobby bar also had some really creative cocktails that were perfect for a nightcap.

A great visit to Stockholm and a great hotel. Will definitely stay here again when I return.
Room is very neat and tidy. Excellent drench shower and very pleasant soaps provided rather than the usual standard offerings. The location was ideal for my business requirements, but would also be perfect for tourists looking to explore the city at ease. Very near central and metro stations.
Breakfast was fine, but could have had a bit more choice.

The breakfast offers an impressive variety of options, well prepared, fresh, flavorful and super delicious. The dining area was also spacious with its concept and view. Rooms are also quite cozy. Incredibly friendly staff. I will definitely stay there again next time.

Amazing and cool hotel. Great staff and facilities.
I like the setting of the room, it was comfortable. A great price. Also the laundrommat was included in the price, you provide detergents etc. I'd enjoyed the stay. The self check idea is great. There's many options in the breakfast for regular breakfast, vegan etc.The hotel is near everything.
The proximity of the bar to the main entrance too noisy. The rest is excellent.

Great location with loverly rooftop food and drink options!
The hotel is in a perfect location, 5 minutes from Stockholm central station and at walking distance of the city's main attractions. Modern and up to date interiors and some fantastic rooftop restaurants, also for breakfast. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
The room was a bit cold at night and the heating control did not work. Also, we missed some standard amenities like a shower cap (not available at reception either).

A cozy, comfortable, and affordable stay in central Stockholm.
The room was small but very comfortable and spotless. The staff were friendly and helpful. I was blown away by the included breakfast, which was delicious, had tons of options, and served with a view in their rooftop restaurant.
My only complaint would be that it would have been nice to have some facial tissues in the room. It was perfect aside from that!

All in all, a perfect stay! Excellent locatiom in the heart of the city center. My king size room was roomy and very qui
Excellent facilities with modern, stylish decor. We particularly liked the breakfast room located on the 13th floor which offered great views over Stockholm (and lots of sunshine when we visited the city).

Super nice
Location and breakfast were amazing! Personal was very friendly. They even serve tasty traditional christmas hot drinks and cookies at the reception! This was super nice!
Unfortunatelly there was no table and a proper desk to work on computer in the room. Also while booking i was aware that there are no windows in the room (first time to book such a room) and for sure i won’t book again as i was not happy with the aeration system (not too bad but cannot be replaced by fresh air coming from window)

Qwerky design and central to alot of shopping and restaurants, super friendly staff.

Very good location, right between the main shopping street and the old town. Quiet and comfortable.
One of the rooms was a bit too cold (including the bathroom floor) and did not warm up even after adjusting the thermostat.
