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.”

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic hotel for a quick visit to Stockholm
Great selection at breakfast. Very cosy throughout the hotel with all of the amenities you could need. Great facilities such as the gym and the bar/restaurant were also great. All staff very friendly and happy to help.

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.

Good enough.
Facilities and restaurants are excellent including breakfast. Very friendly staff. The room was a bit small and we did not sleep very well. All good otherwise.

Very good option for city explorers
All clean, small but good enough. Felt at home. Room misses only water cooker, but coffee was available downstairs. Breakfast decent swedish and asian.
Beer prices in the bar repelled me. Crazy.

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.

Lovely staff, excellent breakfast and overall, I would recommend. 👍
Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great breakfast buffet with healthy options. Maybe a little more variation of cut fruit world have been nice, but it was very good.
Can’t really think of anything.

Great location, very good breakfast and the design of the room is very interesting- bed located under the big window , so we got a city view, laying in bed. Amazing idea! Perfect for honeymoon weekend
Everything was great!

Super staff, great location and good value of money :)
Room was quite nice, not the best view even we where in top floor. Location was super. Breakfast was also very good, with nice view. Staff was very friendly and we got late check-out. Nice place. Nice terrace also.
View was not perfect, opposite side on main entrance. In the morning there were construction or renovating somewhere close. So we heard bit noise in the morning. Bar opened at 3 pm, maybe it's too late :)

Very quiet
I asked in advance for a quiet room and it was. Very quiet. Clean, comfortable, the best buffet breakfast I had in Sweden. Quirky features. The luggage lockers are a great idea. Excellent location for all the sights and the train station.
Very little but an in room safe and kettle would have been nice (there was coffee available in the foyer) and a toaster at breakfast.

The room and bathroom were modern, and clean. Grateful to have windows (uncommon for Stockholm). Bed was super comfy and the breakfast was perfect for us. Location was perfect.
Very little storage in the room. Our key cards for the room/lift stopped working multiple times during our stay, which meant a lot of visiting reception - but this was fixed quickly each time.
