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.”

Great and central hotel
Easy to find. Very near central station. Fast check-in. Toilet and bath good sized. Breakfast was great especially their energy drink, a lot of variety. Free coffee at the lobby. Free washer and dryer you can use. Several food options available - besides a mall (Galleria) which has Ikea. a few blocks is another big mall. Walkable to all attractions, i feel we don’t need to take buses. Secured, you need a card to go to floors. Free bag that you can use while there (note, has to be returned).
1. Lighting is a bit dim and inadequate. 2. Bed is too soft 3. If you forget to put out the tag, your room will not be cleaned - although they will mention this to you later, we still forgot 4. Bath area floor is even so water is going out.

We liked the common areas of the hotel so much that we hung out in them for hours during our trip. I would recommend fo
Perfect location-Central and near main train station. The restaurant where breakfast was served on the rooftop was beautiful and relaxing. We liked the rooftop bar of the hotel.
I wish we booked a room with windows.

Good for a short stay when needing to be near the train station and Old Town.
Young, modern vibe.
Weak air conditioning.

Great stay in comfort. The rooftop bar was an unexpected bonus!
Breakfast was excellent with wide variety of choice. The location is perfect for sightseeing in Stockholm. The bed was very comfortable and the bath spacious.
The towels could have been a little bigger and fluffier and tea / coffee making facilities in the room would have been good although coffee was a available in the lobby.

Excellent location close to Stockholm city station
Staff was very kind, the breakfast was delicious with lots to choose from, the bar next to the entrance had very good cocktails and beers.
Was a bit disappointed to see that there was no electric kettle or coffee machine in the kingsize room. You could get coffee and tea for free in the lobby, but I think it could be good with some tea and coffee in the room. Theres were lots of noise from the taxis honking at each other and other cars in front of the hotel at night. Was very difficult to sleep because of that.

Fabulous
Excellent breakfast. Very convenient location. Great shower. I agree that they don't clean your room unless you ask them to.
Room is a bit small for the price though we knew about that. They would need a better system to coordinate the timings for when you ask them to clean the room when it's not every day. It's probably more energy efficient but I do prefer having an openable window in the room. More light fittings in the room.

A perfect stay in the city
The location was great. The hotel is really cool and trendy. Rooms are great, bathroom is lovely. The rooftop bar was very cool as well. You could write a postcard and they provide a stamp. We could borrow their umbrellas for a rainy day. The breakfast choice was amazing, gluten free and dairy free options too. Overall a really cool stay in Hobo.
Nothing!!

Outstanding! We’ll recommend the HOBO to everyone we talk to when discussing Sweden.
The staff was great, especially the man at reception the night we arrived. We also liked Armin at the bar, and the tall blonde bartender, they were very nice!

Nice but a tad pricey
Uncomplicated and casual in general, tidy and clean, but some quirkiness thrown in.
Toilet seats feel like they’re installed a bit high (I’m 1.92 m tall) and the internals are odd - manly parts touch the porcelain and it feels awkward. Also, they feel like loosely installed (talking about the seat). No bidet, lighting is a tad dark, and the hair dryer is merely a hint of a dryer.
