Pensionat Oden Sodermalm

The 22-room Pensionat Oden Södermalm offers pleasant and roomy accommodation on a wide street just west of Södermalm's main hub and about a block or so from the Mariatorget T-bana station. Situated on the second story, it shares a rather nondescript, modern building with shops on the ground floor and residences above.

Rooms, which are on the spacious side, are individually decorated with 19th-century-style furnishings and fabrics. All have wood floors, a writing desk with chair, and pleasant lighting. Some of the larger "family" rooms have a small couch and coffee table. Guests can rent refrigerators and safes for a daily fee. Only nine of the rooms have private bathrooms: the remaining 13 share tidy facilities in the halls.

As reception is limited, guests need a code to get into the building. Breakfast, which is included, is served in a small breakfast room, and guests have access to the kitchen for their own use. The same owners also run the Pensionat Oden Norrmalm and the Pensionat Oden City in Vasastan.
