Reviews from Google“This was a fantastic stay at one of the premier Small Luxury Resorts! I utilized the free night reward from my Diamond membership and this was a wonderful use of the credit! The check in process was pretty smooth with Rebecca helping us throughout and allowing us to see several rooms that she could upgrade us to. We were thankful to select a room that satisfied our needs. It was really neat that no room was the same which I thought was a very unique touch with very unique art pieces and designs on the different floors and even each room. The rooms were well appointed as well with several luxurious touches and unique design features. Our breakfast was included as well which provided several options for an a la carte style and various buffet options too. During checkout, Nicole was super helpful and courteous as well to store our bags as we explored Stockholm for the day (the hotel is in a very centralized location of Stockholm with everything walking distance away) amidst even dealing with a difficult client beforehand. We were very grateful to stay here once again and I am thankful that we got to check out this wonderful boutique hotel!”
“We booked 4 rooms and spent around ₹4,00,000 per day for a 5-night stay. Initially, we were very happy with the beautiful interiors, ambiance, and overall service experience. However, the checkout experience completely changed our impression. We were charged approximately ₹1,50,000 extra as a smoking penalty and another ₹1,00,000 for additional charges, which we found unreasonable and unacceptable. Even after multiple requests and asking for some consideration or reduction in the penalties, there was no flexibility shown. For the amount spent, this was extremely disappointing and left us feeling upset at the end of what had otherwise been a pleasant stay. We expected a more customer-friendly resolution. Personally, we would prefer staying at Grand Hotel next time as it offers a larger property and, in our experience, this stay ended on a disappointing note. Unfortunately, not recommended.”
“Overall excellent experience! Great location, room, breakfast and staff( Oliver, Marcus and the woman from Argentina - sorry forgot her name) were top notch. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend if you are traveling to Stockholm.”
“Very loud (often live) music played on the first floor. No way to avoid it. Our bed was a queen (we paid for a king) and extremely bouncy. Feather top only. No bedspread. No sleep at all.”
“Hotel Lydmar is a truly outstanding hotel with character and soul, and it’s easy to understand why it receives such excellent reviews. The combination of style, atmosphere, and service makes it one of the most memorable places to stay in Stockholm. The location is superb — right on the waterfront in the heart of the city, with beautiful views of the Old Town, the Royal Palace, and the harbor. Many of Stockholm’s main attractions are within easy walking distance, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. Rooms are spacious and individually designed, featuring comfortable seating areas and unique works of art that give each room its own personality. The atmosphere is both stylish and cozy, with great attention to detail and a strong sense of warmth and comfort throughout. The hotel’s restaurant, The Dining Room, is excellent, offering delicious dishes inspired by French and New York cuisine in a lively yet relaxed setting. Breakfast is outstanding — generous, high quality, and often mentioned as one of the best in the city. The bar and seasonal terrace are also wonderful spots to unwind. The staff truly elevate the experience: multilingual, friendly, and genuinely attentive, always ready to help. The overall vibe is fashionable yet inviting — “mysig,” as the Swedes say — relaxed, artistic, and refreshingly different from traditional, formal hotels. Hotel Lydmar is a perfect choice for travelers seeking a stylish stay, exceptional service, and a prime waterfront location. Highly recommended and a place you’ll want to return to.”
