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.”

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).

Great central location that was an easy walk to public transport, shopping streets, as well as the historic old town. The room was clean and comfortable and we had quiet night's sleep. The staff were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. We loved the delicious breakfast at the rooftop restaurant as well as the warm glögg in the evening.

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.

Thought the staff were extremely helpful. They allowed us to check in early and check out a little later which was very much appreciated. The room is quite basic but it worked for us considering we just stayed for one night. Overall a very pleasant experience!

A comfortable stay at the central location
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.

All clean, small but good enough. Felt at home. Room misses only water cooker, but coffee was available downstairs. Breakfast decent swedish and asian.

I enjoyed the three nights stay in here.
The hotel location was wonderful. We liked the view from room. And the breakfast provided was excellent which exceeded my expectation.
No electric kettle available in room, so I could not get hot water to drink. I had to get it from the bar in lobby. The room was small but it was understandable because of the busy hotel location.
