Room is small, and receptionist take a while to arrive. Room can be accessed through a narrow curl stair and for people with luggage, it is difficult to go down.

Thanks for your nice review. You are absolutely right. Our hotel rooms in the category "Alumni" are reached via a spiral staircase which can be challenging if you have a lot/large luggage. However, our other three room categories are reached by elevator. Welcome back!

Nice place
I enjoy staying at Ersta, it feels like home. Nice atmosphere, lovely staff - helpful, friendly and laid back Its an unusual place as I believe it used to be a convent, so this gives it a special atmosphere The area is good for me. It involves some walking, and currently some very noisy building works going on next door at a big project/a hospital....but nice views and sodermalm at hand If you like unusual stays, this is a good choice

comfy room with view
enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful view in our room. the hotel is only a few minutes walk from a trendy neighborhood with restaurants and bars. it is run by a non-profit organization. There's no staff after 10pm, but guests have key access after hour. the bathroom is basic but practical. guests have access to common kitchenette. the furnishing is a bit dated but has its own style. bed is comfortable. they also have a tasty breakfast buffet.

Best view of Stockholm
Amazing location on the top of Sodermalm hills where we can view waterfront of view of Stockholm - Gamla Stan, Skeppsholmen, and Djurgaden. Walkable distance from Medborgarplatsen Station to Slussen Station (down hill- not recommend going up from Slussen due to rather steep hill.) A non-profit conference facility with beautiful ground - chapel and charming buildings. The room was bigger, very clean and comfortable- not sure if AC was on but we could open window in the morning / evening to get the breeze in. Breakfast was continental but has boiled eggs and different kinds of hams, cheese even some marinated herring. Great Sunset from the property. With 3 min. walk toward Slussen metro, you can have Fika at Fjallgatans Kaffestuga with great views (nice ice cream) Highly recommended for Summer time travel.

Swedish stay
I found the place surprisingly charming. The room and shower were small and a bit Sparta but in Very good condition and extremely clean. The breakfast was just ok. The only downside was that it took the front desk clerk a long time to check us in. He seemed baffled about finding out online reservation. Other than that we were very satisfied.

Cannot contact the staff as I was late for the check in and I stayed outside of the hostel in a very cold weather. Location not really close to city centre but view is nice if the weather is not too cold taking a walk should be very pretty.

Very nice hotel, cool staff.
I stayed 5 days at this hotel in a single economy room and I must admit that It's a very impressive hotel. Due to the location though I highly recommend getting an SL Access card. http://sl.se/en/fares--tickets/ To get to the hotel all you need to do is take the Blue bus (No.2) from Slussen to Ersta Sjukhus. The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, the hotel room was very nice, the facilities are great, en-suite, flat screen TV, WiFi, A very nice hotel all-in-all. My only slight negative is the staff, It's nothing serious at all and the staff did help me whenever I required it but I didn't exactly feel welcomed as a guest, maybe it's because this hotel is a 'conference center' and they have to deal with so many people that the staff can't add any warmth, I felt a definite coldness that I didn't really experience anywhere else during my stay in Stockholm. This hotel is based in what I can only describe as a Christian compound and at 11:00AM a bell rings calling people to a little church. (You don't have to go, lol) One thing that made me leap out of bed on one random morning was the sound of a ferry's horn, the ferry terminal is practically next door and at about 6:30 I was awoken to BAWOAWWWW! (Made me laugh) There's a supermarket and a 24 hour convenience store close by which is always nice, at the convenience store you can top up your travel card. Breakfast at the hotel isn't good, can't cook a hard boiled egg competently and it's only open until 8:00AM. :(

I stayed in three hotels during my two weeks in Stockholm, and this was the best. It was the only one where I felt I was getting what I payed for. The facilities are somewhat basic, but everything is nice and clean and well-maintained. And while the location might seem a bit remote, it offers an incomparable view of the city and is only about ten minutes walk from the Medborgarplatsen and Slussen T-bana stations.

Scenic view, nice staff and enjoyable stay
Although cheap, this hotel is one of the best places we have ever stayed at. The hotel is located on top of a cliff and has a very nice view over both the sea and the old town of Stockholm. It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk between the hotel and Stockholm's old town and the road in between is so scenic that I recommend everyone to take a walk instead of taking a bus for example. In fact, during our two days there, there were always tourist buses parking right outside the hotel and bringing tourists to that spot for its view. The hotel's building also has a history to itself as a monastery. We found that history intriguing because it gave the hotel a character. The staff were super friendly and did everything they could to make sure that the guests feel welcome. In particular, they went out of their way and lent us two very nice umbrellas for our whole stay there (and, in fact, even for a few hours after we had checked out). The breakfast might not be so fancy but it was definitely better than most other (and more expensive) hotels. The only catch, of course, might be the shared bathroom/washrooms but, at least, during our stay, they were always spotlessly clean. I definitely recommend this hotel.

A hotel with great view
I read a couple of reviews and decided to book this hotel because it is on a hill with great view overlooking the harbor and old town. The hotel staff responded to my request and gave me a room with great view! There is a garden beside the hotel that makes the environment very pleasant. The hotel staff were very responsive to my questions or request while I stayed there. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. They put a curtain that can block the long-day sunlight. It has a kitchen on each floor, however it was closed when the staff were off duty. I did not know that and I was hoping to make a cup of coffee after coming back from my tour. Unfortunately I had no chance to use it since the reception was closed (a bit disappointed...). The bathrooms were clean and available. The hotel is surrounded by many restaurants so eating out is not an issue. There are several buses going to old town and city center (#2 bus is the most frequent one). I bought a 3-day bus pass and found taking buses very convenient. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

The view and the location of the hotel is amazing though it is a bit hard to find it. The only problem is the shared bathrooms which needs real cleaning. Otherwise, it is amazing with really cozy rooms :)

Monastic Charme, Amazing Views!
To me, this place was a welcome surprise and relief from a usual hotel experience. With its history as a previous residence for nurses, this place still exudes a strongly church-inspired ambience. Rooms are spotless, but nostalgic, and bathrooms, which are often shared, are also spotless. The general atmosphere is extremely calm and composed, as you would expect more from a seminar centre or monastery. Breakfast is a very good bufffet breakfast (beware, no cooked bacon & egg/ sausage here), served in cozy surroundings. The views of Stockholm you can have from the hotel grounds are famous, and attract busloads of tourists. There is also a very nice restaurant with seemingly erratic opening hours across the courtyard the hotel is set in, so if someone is in no mood to venture all the way back into town for dinner, that is a nice option. I might stay there again in future.
