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.”

All you need to know
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. If that is not convincing enough for a stay here, the fact that that several key attraction sights are close by will. This long list includes the Royal Swedish Opera, Nordiska Kompaniet, Museum of Medieval Stockholm, Stockholm Palace and Vasa Museum.
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. All rooms feature a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a private bathroom equipped with free toiletries and a hairdryer. The hotel makes it easy to enjoy breakfast in bed. Just grab a plate of the organic, café-style dishes served every day. Items include egg muffins, sandwiches, fruits and chia pudding. The 24-hour front desk is always available to help guests with anything else they may desire.

A great hotel with a central location. I enjoyed staying there!
The breakfast is amazing and with a nice view. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The bed was too soft in my opinion.

All was fine

Recommended. Ideal for couples but not for young families
The location was excellent, seemingly central to a number of areas meaning that simply by coming an going on different routes we found ourselves exploring new areas of the city centre. Its also close to the train station (and the excellent Arlanda airport express) which saves on taxi fares.

Lack of mini fridge,water boiler and not having somewhere to lock in valuables.

Great location, quiet rooms, friendly and helpful staff, amazing views at breakfast
Breakfast: The breakfast buffet on the top floor was great and included many hot and cold selections to choose from. The hotel offered special foods for people with dietary restrictions. Everything was delicious. Location: Safe and convenient location within walking distance of many sites as well as public transportation Room: Storage space is pretty basic but there is space to hang a few items. We especially liked the automatic low lighting in the bathroom during the night, which helps you avoid stumbling around in the dark if you have to go to the loo.
The coffee was perhaps a bit weak.

Cool hotel with a great breakfast, excellent location and helpful staff!
Location great. Staff warm and helpful..especially Malou!! ..who helped with my parking challenge Breakfast superb.
Room could have been darker. Room at it cool. Parking is a challenge for those not used to Sweden. Be good if there were more specific instructions to help with parking

A bit noisy at night because of the clubs around but it wasn’t a very loud sound so it was ok.

Good for a one night stay. I wouldn't want to stay for an extended period.
The location was great. In the heart of the downtown. The breakfast had a very good selection and was plentiful.
The bed squeeked. The lighting was just OK. Very tight bedroom area.

Excellent breakfast, cozy room and great location.
As we were travelling with a baby, a microwave would have been a great to have around in order to warm up the food. Even a shared on somewhere in reception would have ben sufficient.

Very good
Breakfasts were nice. The location was quite awesome. I also liked the decoration.
I expected more guidance from the hotel staff. Especially regarding TAK and SUS on the terrace floor. These were the main reasons why I chose the hotel. On the contrary, they allowed us to eat until 8 on the first day and then we were removed. Should there be a privilege in staying at the hotel? The room was empty. I would love to have water at least.

Exceeded my expectations! Would totally recommend it :D
This hotel exceeded my expectations! The location is superb, a short walk from Old Town and there are many restaurants and a shopping mall in the same block. The breakfast is great! There are many options available including continental and Japanese food. There is complementary coffee and tea in the reception. The room is spacious, they added an additional bed for our 5 y/o on demand.

Very friendly, helpful staff and a memorable experience; I'll be returning.
The Interesting mixed use of commercial space to create a unique experience.
The club upstairs can be noisy on Friday, Saturday nights, it's not too intrusive though. The location won't suit everyone.

Excellent location
Location is perfect. We walked to all the attractions we wanted to visit. Staff very friendly, breakfast first class. Rooms and beds very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
No water or kettle in the room to make a cup of tea or coffee. Next time I will bring my travel kettle.

A modern, well located hotel with excellent facilities for exploring Stockholm.
Location was perfectly placed from all possible attractions - Gamla Stan within 5 minutes walking distance, next to a shopping mall and the main shopping street. T-Central Station also just minutes away making it very convenient when needing to go further afield. Loved the design of the hotel, staff were very friendly and the hotel facilities were great. The gym is perhaps the best equipped gym from a weights perspective I’ve seen in a very long time. The luggage storage facility was very easy and useful when arriving early and departing late.
Staying in an inside room (no windows) was the right choice for me as the darkness helps me sleep. But the ventilation in the room was poor (I don’t think it even worked).

Breakfast, location, gym scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, pancakes, juice, pastry not very special; croissant mainly, and good combo of fruits. The gym (floor 1) was well equipped for the aims I had and very clean.

Great location, comfortable rooms, friendly stuff, abundant breakfast that lacks the basics
Great location, close to central station, friendly stuff, most attractions are in walking distance
Breakfast location on roof top is great, assortment is great too. Sadly they have no marie-bains for the hot breakfast so that most of it was always only lukewarm. The thick cold asian clay plates made sure that it was actually cold once you reaced your table. The cold clay cups and the milk from the fridge also killed the hot coffee. To my surprise they didn't even have orange juice. This is definitely no place for people who love hot full cooked English breakfast. They put a lot of effort into making everything look nice but sadly in the end lack the basics .

Great eclectic hotel in downtown Stockholm
Excellent hotel with unique character - not another generic place - in downtown Stockholm, near all the major attractions and near subway lines as well. The room was very clean, and had all the necessary amenities we needed, including some comfy slippers. The breakfast included was buffet style of good quality and with lots of different choices of food available. The rooftop restaurant alone is worth booking here because you will be able to overlook the city of Stockholm and get some great pictures too. Overall I am very happy to have stayed here, and felt it was a good value compared to other options in the city.
Everything was fine, but if I had to nitpick on anything I'd say the rooms are a bit small.

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.
