  Fantastic value for money

  We really enjoyed our stay at this small hotel with lots of charm. The hotel is a very easy walk from the underground station. You need to take the underground to Ostermalmstorg, travelling towards either Ropsten Line 1 or towards Morby Centrum on Line 14. You have to check in at Hotel Wellington just around the corner. Look for the Clarion Collection sign as it is easier to spot than the hotel's plaque. We received a very warm welcome and then it is only a short walk to Hotel Parlan which is an annex of the Wellington. The hotel has very good security, with key codes having to be used twice to gain entry. The building is very quaint with a spiral staircase and marble steps. There is a very small lift, antiquated but works fine. The interior of the hotel has a comfortable sitting area and you can make yourself tea or coffee in the kitchen area. Tasty biscuits are provided for guests. There is also a small balcony sitting area. Our room was small but reasonably well equipped and overlooked the inner courtyard area and because of this was very quiet.There is no air con so you have to have the windows open meaning that a street facing room might be noisy. Beds were very comfy. We were grateful for the two comfy chairs provided in the room. The bathroom is very dated but everything worked fine apart from the fact there was no plug for the sink. Breakfasts were fantastic. Fresh food, varied and very tasty. You can have eggs cooked if required. There is a small dining area.The hotel was not very busy when we visited so plenty of space. My main criticisms of this hotel are that there is a shortage of storage space for clothes, no mirror in the main room making it difficult to dry hair using the hairdryer. There is no safe and walls are very bare. However, overall, this is excellent value for money with a lovely informal atmosphere. The hotel is well positioned for walking to all of the main attractions. There are some excellent restaurants in the local area. We would strongly recommend Aubergine on Linnegaten or if you want fine dining, Gastrologik. We didn't rate Oyster Bar very highly..

  A rare gem in the middle of Stockholm

  Never have I visited such a sweet little hotel. It’s a luxury flat converted into a hotel – and it is a success. Nice rooms, fantastic and authentic breakfast and an incredible nice staff-member who made our stay exceedingly terrific. On the top of it all; it’s cheap. You really can’t find such a nice hotel, so cheap and located in the middle of Stockholm. It’s not possible. Go – check it out. You won’t regret it.. And yes – you can expect some noise from the street, but it’s only ordinary street-noise: people speaking, some music. But not much traffic, since the street is one-way. Djurgården and the pedestrian streets are in walking distance.

  Excellent room, location, value, food

  This is an unusual hotel in that it has only 9 rooms and no lobby. It is associated with the Clarion Wellington around the corner – you check in there. We had a spacious room, which was very clean and quiet. Breakfast is served in a nice sitting area, and consists of everything you’d want – including freshly prepared eggs if you like [Selma does a great job]. Included in your stay is the complimentary dinner ‘buffet’ at the Wellington. I say ‘buffet’ because it is just one main dish each night. We snacked there a couple times – it was all very good. Good value.

  Too noisy

  The location of this hotel is super but unfortunately it doesn't make the job. The room was small, had an uncomfortable bed and was too noisy. The breakfast was tasty and sufficient and the lady serving it was very friendly. This hotel is supposed to have a good price to earnings ratio but in my opinion their prices are too high for what you get.

  Cozy place to stay in Stockholm

  Parlan means "the pearl" in Swedish and this is definitely a hidden jewel in Stockholm. It is tucked away in the upscale Östermalm neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It literally feels more like you are staying in someone's charming home than a hotel. Our room was very comfortable and we had a great view overlooking the inner courtyard. There is a small dining room, kitchen and sitting room that are all available for your use. Each morning there is an AMAZING breakfast of fresh cheese, meats, bread, yogurt and juices that I looked forward to every day (and we would make sandwiches to take with us for the day so that we could avoid buying lunch). Also included is a light dinner at the Wellington Hotel just two blocks away so you can literally avoid having to buy a meal during the day which is great. There are also always cookies and croissants sitting out in the kitchen if you get hungry. If there is one downside of the Parlan it is that they have been bought out by Clarion Hotels (which also owns The Wellington) which does make it feel a bit more corporate as you have to check in with them. The next time that I am back in Stockholm I would definitely stay here again as it was safe, warm, comfortable, conveniently located, and felt like a second home in a new city.
