We loved Hotel Tre Sma Rum, a privately owned guesthouse in a relaxed, residential part of Sodermalm. This tiny, tidy spot is about a 10-minute walk south of the main Soder action, though close enough to shops and restaurants that walking isn't a pain.
Despite its name, which translates to "three small rooms," Tre Sma Rum has seven rooms, all with shared showers and toilets in the hall. The mild-mannered and welcoming Christian, one of the two owners, gave us the tour. Tre Sma Rum is a few steps below ground level, so windows are at the top of the walls.
Rooms, doubles or singles, are decorated with pretty pictures and homey curtains. Each has a writing desk and plenty of good lighting. Some have televisions, otherwise you can get your TV fix in the breakfast room. Bathrooms are tiled and have fresh, squeaky-clean shower stalls and nicely sized sinks. Plus, the bedroom-to-bathroom ratio is good at 2:1.
It's the little things that make this place so popular, as numerous other guidebooks will attest to. For instance, breakfast is "ekologiskt," which basically means organic, and served in the quaint breakfast room that doubles as the reception.
Speaking of reception, hours are limited: guests get their own key to the front door, and late arrivals get an entry code for access. There are two bicycles for hire at SEK 85 a day. (We're big fans of touring on a bike.)
