Negative Reviews
negative:
Space is limited
As you might imagine, the rooms are small because they are converted prison cells and some guests mention that they fund them a little too small for their liking.
negative:
A little far from central Stockholm
Although the Långholmen Hotell is just a 14-minute stroll to the nearest public transport station, some guests were a little frustrated at its distance from the central city area.
negative:
Breakfast room gets crowded
Unfortunately, the breakfast room is relatively small and can get a little crowded during busy periods.
