Hotel Renstierna

The 10-room Renstierna blends in with the neighboring stores in this section of Södermalm. When you walk in, however, you'll find the hotel offers a distinct, friendly ambience with environmentally-friendly touches. (In the lobby, for example, you’ll find a couple books about small ways to save the world.)

The Renstierna offers both hotel and hostel-style accommodations. Guestrooms have either bunk beds or standard double beds, all of which are in great shape. The rooms upstairs, despite being small, are flooded with sun from the skylights. While skylights can’t be found in every room, TVs and sinks can.

Most toilets and showers are located in the hallway, but a few of the rooms have en suite bathrooms. The bathrooms are tiled and incredibly clean.

Downstairs, you’ll find the guest kitchen, laundry facilities, and, most importantly, the charming breakfast room. Benches line the walls with colorful pillows. (We even saw a seat covered in lime green shag carpet.) It's the perfect basement setting for an "ecological breakfast" before heading out to explore Stockholm.
