Hotel Ruth, WorldHotels Crafted

This hotel turned out to be a pleasant surprise, since I didn’t expect much based on the pictures. Yes, the room is very small, but it’s so comfy! The mattress and the pillows are perfect, it’s so quiet in the hotel that you can spend the whole day in bed comfortably. You can open a window in the room, which is rare for Stockholm hotels. But the biggest plus of this hotel is breakfast, probably the best I ever had in a hotel. Everything is right temperature and very tasty, huge selection for a small hotel like this. Lots of gluten free and healthy options and amazing deserts, including candies and cakes. I didn’t see any children around while I was staying there, probably because the rooms are too small to stay with kids, which gives you an additional bonus of peace and quiet at breakfast and in the hotel in general. The stuff is very nice and helpful, I asked for a kettle and they immediately brought it to my room. Considering how awful most of the hotels are in Stockholm (from my experience), this was a hidden gem.

From the moment I arrived in the early hours of the morning until the moment I left in the early hours of another morning I felt completely looked after and even a bit pampered. The staff were lovely, my room was cozy and quiet, and the breakfast was delicious. The location was fantastic for me. There were restaurants and cute shops as well as the city within walking distance. I walked into Gamla Stan and the museums area from the hotel too. I loved the little touches like a comfortable foyer area to sit and enjoy a coffee, cold water, and little snacks in between excursions during the day or for a glass of wine at the end of the evening. Just a gorgeous little hotel. Beautifully decorated.

The breakfast was phenomenal, as expected. Huge variety of things but all good quality! The lobby and the restaurant were nice and comfy, the reception personnel all very sweet. The room on the top floor was peaceful and quiet and the bed (although VERY high) extremely comfortable.

A spacious room welcomed us on arrival providing a generous space for 3. The sitting areas downstairs created a sophisticated ambience without compromising on comfort. And the friendly staff added to this. Hotel Ruth provides a great breakfast. Not only does it cover a broad range of options, the quality of the offering was well above expectations.

My experience was quite polarized. The location is great, close to Odenplan so convenient with public transport to everywhere, a nice small hotel in a nice quiet street. The staff was super nice and helpful, really went out of their way to help. Breakfast was very nice and served in very pleasant restaurant. But ....
