Långholmen Hotell, Stockholm

It is what it is. A fascinating converted prison. The staff were friendly, the cells clean and comfy, and the prison museum fascinating.

Be aware it is on an island away from the centre so taxis / bolt etc take a while to reach you and it is 15 min from bus / tube.

Highly recommended.

The restaurant is not part of the same business, and tbh we could have had the same steak anywhere in any boring conference hotel on the planet.

Nothing about the food was particularly Swedish , let alone prison food which was a shame.. but it is actually a seperate business.

Interesting and quite unique setup for a hotel. Really interesting museum attached, as well as a fantastic restaurant and bar. Really good breakfast included, and the rooms weren't as small as I was worried they would be, and they use the space they have well (good size bathrooms too). Staff were all really friendly and helpful, and you can tell the place is well looked after.

The mattress toppers kind of slid around on the bed a bit, might not be an issue for most people but was sightly annoying for us, but not a big deal. The curtains are not at all light blocking either so not great for sleeping in late. It is quite a walk into town (but along a lovely riverfront at least). No aircon, but that's probably not really an issue in Sweden most of the time, and the window open in the room at least.

Great place, nice staff. Good location.

Roo (Cell) was a tad cold.

The concept, the comfort, the charming surroundings, the nice staff, very good breakfast.

It was perfect! The walk from the underground station is nice, but takes 15 minutes. Perhaps that is a bit too far for some people.

The exceptional renovation of the building

Double room with a lot of furniture. Maybe just the bed, space for bags and small cabinet should be enough. Extra bed and chair takes a lot of space.

There was an excellent choice for breakfast. My room was welcoming and bright. I now miss the view of the lake and beach. I had a fall during my stay, and had not taken a first aid kit. The staff on reception were wonderfullly helpful, and gave me a bandage and regularly checked if I was OK for the rest of my stay. Sadly, I don't speak Swedish, but their English was fluent, so it was never a problem.

The room would be much improved by having tea/coffee making facilities and a small fridge. I think that the bar should be open on Sunday evenings, but it closed at 4pm which meant that I could not find anywhere to eat after that time, and had to resort to snacks from the lobby bar.

it like a museum as well , and it is a great like to change it now to hotel , plus the garden around , adding a lot of fun for the kids during the stay

the showering place is little bit too small

Location excellent, the building is amazing so much history and the museum is a bonus too! The breakfast was delicious too!

The heating in the room was poor and we were cold during the night.
The hot water takes a long time to come out.

The breakfast is amazing, the room is small as expected, but very clean and comfortable, there’s everything we need inside the room. There’re also many quiet common areas we can use. For us, also the location is not bad.

Nothing

Lovely location and property. Great balance achieved to reflect the history of the prison and make a very comfortable stay. Great to have options for meals and he’ll having a drink.

The comfy chair in my room was so worn it snagged on my clothes. Power outlet near the bed would be nice.

Amazing breakfast, and a very unique hotel experience

Prison museum was open during the day, and we as tourists were never there during the day. We will check if we are able to access the museum outside regular hours before leaving this morning.

A brilliant place on a peaceful island. Quirky in a fun way, spotlessly clean, great breakfast and real value for money

Nothing

Very exciting for the kids and very central. We had very good time here.

Atmosphere, historical interpretation

The history of prison and exhibitions are a real added value. We enjoyed that a lot. It is great example of "second life" of a prison.

Nothing comes into my mind ;-)

This was a stunner of a stay. Cute property, beautiful location, wonderfully decorated, clean rooms, comfy beds, great shower pressure and hot water. Breakfast was spectacular. Probably the best hotel breakfast I've ever experienced. Staff was kind and friendly. Prison museum on site was interesting as was the art exhibit.

Loved the idea of converting a former prison into a hotel. Atmospheric and very cool.

Nothing.

Unique experience, sleeping in old jail cell. Inside is reb
novated and clean. Offers very good food.

Naturally the room is bit small.

Fantastic hotel , great location with lovely quirky details, amazing breakfast and restaurant . Staff helpful and welcoming. Would definitely return.

On the outside the location has parking, is nestled against the river, and still looks like an old prison. On the inside though, it’s a modernized hotel. The rooms were clean, the restrooms had towel warmers, and I was able to crack the window to let in the cold outside air.

The TV in the room was small, and could have been in a more convenient location for viewing. However, it served its purpose and I spent most of my time exploring the city anyway so this doesn’t take away from the positive experience.

Excellent breakfast and a cozy cell

Bad sound-proofing from the corridor

Perfect breakfast and memorable living space:)

Juz a bit far from everything, but walkable from metro:)

Nice prison vibe, the staff was friendly, the room clean and comfortable. Very good price for Stockholm.

There room was a bit too cold. Lack of a kettle was disappointing .

Interesting location. With history. When I booked it, I couldn't even imagine it was a former royal prison. I liked it, even though it was cramped, the breakfast was not bad :)

very cramped room)

This place is amazing, stylish and comfortable converted prison cells which did not feel claustrophobic in the least. Exceeded my expectations (I was slightly apprehensive about old cells). It’s extraordinary value with a fantastic generous 5 star hotel breakfast included but our bunk rooms were at backpacker prices (private bathrooms too). It is in a wonderful location to walk through snow covered forests or across a couple of bridges in to Stockholm old town or to Södermalm. The staff were really kind and friendly. We enjoy walking so it was lovely to walk everywhere but there is also a Metro nearby or Ubers easily available. There is a well equipped kitchen if you want to cook for yourself. Highly recommend!

Nothing!

What made us choose this hotel was the free parking (almost non-existent in Stockholm otherwise) and the low extra price for dogs in the room. Just 300kr per visit, when other hotels charge a price per dog per day, which adds up quickly.

The room was small, but this was expected of course. Adds up to the fun prison feeling😅 The bed was extremely comfortable, the staff was very friendly any time we needed help. Although the museum was small, it was free for guests and very interesting! Would 100% visit again next time I’m in Stockholm!

The scenario was spectacular, the sensation of sleep in a prison cell, was the best, I advice to try and see by themselves

For my case been a foreigner in business trip it's normal to carry cash and the hotel doesn't allow cash I was like where I'm gone yes this cash if no one accept it? I'll suggest that for foreign tourist and business to accept cash most of foreign cards doesn't work due to some restrictions in poss by in my case central bank the limitation in terms of quantity to be use and in some country's

Unique, a must have Stockholm experience

Really helpful and friendly staff. The entire hotel is so clean , the housekeeping staff / cleaning staff do an amazing job. It’s really decorated well ( Xmas decorations were really cute too) - you can forget it was a prison ! Bed was really comfortable. The museum is really interesting and gives context for the building .

I ate at the bar one night and they just had one vegetarian option but that’s just personal preference . The food was good.

Loved the rooms, clean, warm and cosy. It was fun to be in such an original setting. The breakfast was excellent. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Nothing, everything was great!

Great variety of food at breakfast. Location was lovely, 10 minute walk to underground train into central Stockholm.
