“Very nice hotel”

We had a very nice stay with Axel Guldsmeden. Nice room, very good breakfast. The location is very good, close to the central railwaystation, good walking distance to the town center and very close to meatpacking district (restaurant area).

“A hotel to remember!”

Such a unique hotel! Me and my family had the best experience here. The staff were all so lovely and calm and the breakfast was superb 👌🏻 The rooms were to a very good standard. The unique part was that everything was organic and the decor was so fun and unlike anywhere else. We would 100% stay aga… more

“Could have been better”

It was a disappointing stay. After 24 hours, a bad smell emanated from the bathroom and tarnished the entire room. It was worst in the shower, and I think it was related to the drain below the grate. I reported it in the morning on my way out to meetings. We agreed it would be addressed dur… more

It was a disappointing stay. After 24 hours, a bad smell emanated from the bathroom and tarnished the entire room. It was worst in the shower, and I think it was related to the drain below the grate. I reported it in the morning on my way out to meetings. We agreed it would be addressed during the day, and I could switch rooms upon my return if the smell persists. It persisted. I was moved to a ground-floor room overlooking a corner with streetlight pollution, even with the shades drawn. Given the inconvenience of changing rooms during a two-night stay, I would have preferred a better location, even an upgrade. But since I was leaving the next day and I had already moved my luggage, I did not push the issue. Both rooms were consistently too warm, even when zeroing the radiators. I had to open the windows, which was less than ideal in the ground-level room (admittedly, the widows are ~9 ft above the sidewalk). But, I still listened to conversations I didn't want to. The hotel and the brand work hard to be environmentally friendly. The shower in the 2nd room recycled 90% of the water used. Therefore, the gas fire burning in the sun porch at 7 AM on a Thursday is hypocritical. Either the hotel is environmentally friendly, or it's not. Don't pick and choose what's green and what's not.

“Not enough attention to guest and “details””

The hall and their chairs are beautiful and courtyard too but i wasn’t convinced by this hotel because i think, unfortunately, they don’t give enough attention to guests.

The hall and their chairs are beautiful and courtyard too but i wasn’t convinced by this hotel because i think, unfortunately, they don’t give enough attention to guests. I read i am not the only one who’s complaining about not taking care enough about guests so i would suggest, instead of answering they do everything they can to get guest satisfied, to read carefully the comments people do. Everybody can make mistakes! Before i was there i asked them for their best room but when we arrived we were in a room i truly can’t think it was their best for double superior. Not much for the room itself but for the balcony: dirty floor, dirty windows (when we arrived it was sunny). And the view was awful…… The curtain in the room was also dirty. I really didn’t appreciated it. I cared a lot. When i asked the manager for a better room he told they were fully booked. I am not doubting but it was for sure not their best room. Anyway the room is ok but there were sooo many things: big lamps everywhere, a sofa, a deskboard with a big chair, a big fan with another huge lamp, a bench, another forniture i thought it was the fridge but it wasn’t… We couldn’t move around the room… On the deskboard a big phone, a big radio, a big kettle… too many things! Go minimal! For a 4 stars hotel i also think they should have a bathroom fan and a glass instead of a curtain for the shower (for hygienic reasons). I am sorry for judging my stay but i actually didn’t appreciated the behaviour when asking a special treatment and not receiving it and the complete forgetfulness of balcony cleaning. The bed and the sofà were beautiful instead althought the bed is a french double bed. Not big. The position is fine because it is close to station and underground but the area is not super cool. I am sure this hotel can be one of the best i have ever been but they need to improve some things. Go ahead!
