Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s living museum

Home to the cathedral and Royal Palace, Gamla Stan is as close as you’ll get to stepping into a Nordic fairytale. It’s called the “Old Town” for a reason. Stockholm was founded here in 1252, and the place is basically a living museum — with modern-day treats for good measure. Expect colourful streets and cruise ships. Historic buildings and experimental food spots. Spooky tours and city walks. Getting lost in the back street mazes and exploring the neighbourhood at your own pace.

    One from the archives

    Built in the early 1800s, Bob’s place is right in the history. A major renewal in the 19th century took Gamla Stan from slum to affluent neighbourhood. It’s when Swedish architects were heavily influenced by their European travels.

    The artwork inside honours this history, while a monochrome palette keeps things humble. Refurbished in 2021, you’ll find the property on a narrow cobbled street, surrounded by shops and cafes.

Top FAQsHouse Rules

    How do I get to the hotel from the airport?

    Just landed at Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) and heading to Bob W Stockholm Gamla Stan? You've got a few excellent options to get to the historic Old Town.


    From Arlanda Airport (ARN)
    Arlanda Express (Fastest & Easiest) This dedicated airport train is the quickest way to the city.

    Time & Cost: ~18 minutes; ~320 SEK one-way (cheaper for round-trips or group tickets).

    Route: Non-stop from Arlanda to Stockholm Central Station.

    Tickets: Buy online, at machines in the terminal, or on the Arlanda Express app.

    SL Commuter Train (Cheaper Option) The local commuter train is a more budget-friendly choice.

    Time & Cost: ~38 minutes; ~151 SEK.

    Route: Take the train towards Södertälje/Nynäshamn and get off at Stockholm City Station (connected to the Central Station).

    Tickets: The easiest way is to tap your contactless card or phone at the ticket gates. You can also use the SL app or buy from a machine.

    Flygbussarna (Airport Bus) The airport bus is another reliable and affordable option.

    Time & Cost: ~45–50 minutes; ~139 SEK.

    Route: The bus takes you from Arlanda to Cityterminalen (the central bus station).

    Tickets: Buy online, in the Flygbussarna app, or at ticket machines.

    By Taxi or Ride Apps

    Use the Bob-Approved transfer partner Welcome Pickups and book your transfer here. That way we will also receive live updates about your arrival time, as well as the driver's contact details, which help us prepare for your check-in.

    Time & Cost: ~50-60 minutes; ~650–750 SEK (always ask for a fixed price before getting in the car!).

    How: Use apps like Uber or Bolt, or take an official taxi from the designated area outside the airport terminal.

    From the Central Station to Bob W
    All train and bus options will drop you off at the central station area. From there, you have two choices for the final leg of your journey:

    On Foot: It's a pleasant walk of about 18-20 minutes through the city to our building in Gamla Stan.

    By Metro (T-bana): For a quicker step, head into T-Centralen (the main metro station). Take either the Red Line or Green Line south for just one stop and get off at Gamla Stan station. Our building is a very short walk from there.

    Safe travels and welcome to Gamla Stan! ✨

    How to find us?

    So you've made it to Stockholm and you're ready to find us at Bob W Stockholm Gamla Stan! Here's our address and how to spot us in the heart of the city.


    Our Address
    Österlånggatan 26, 111 31 Stockholm, Sweden

    Find us on Google Maps


    Finding the Entrance
    Look for the building at number 26 on Österlånggatan street. The main entrance is clearly visible from the street. Your door code, found in your Guest Area, will get you inside.


    Welcome to Stockholm! ✨

    Where can I store my luggage?

    At Bob W Stockholm Gamla Stan, the luggage room is located on the 2nd floor. To find it, take the elevator from the main entrance at Österlånggatan 26. When you exit the elevator on the 2nd floor, turn left and walk down the hall. You will see the door marked "luggage".


    The room is available for you to use:

    On the day of check-in from 5:00 AM

    On the day of check-out until 11:00 PM


    How to access it
    Open your Guest Area (check your email for the check-in link).

    Tap “Open Doors.”

    Scroll to find the “Luggage Room” key.

    Enter the code on the pinpad.


    Now go explore, hands-free 🙌

    Where can I park my car?

    Driving to Bob W Stockholm Gamla Stan? Heads-up! We don’t offer on-site parking at this property, but don’t worry — here are a few nearby options we recommend to make things smooth for your arrival.


    Nearby Parking Garages (Recommended)
    For a hassle-free experience, we recommend parking in one of the nearby public garages on the mainland (Norrmalm or Södermalm) and enjoying the short, scenic walk to us.

    Gallerian Garage (Regeringsgatan): An easy, central, and well-connected option about a 10-minute walk away.

    Parkaden Garage (Regeringsgatan 47): A covered garage with digital access and EV charging.

    Stockholm Parkering Garages: Garages like Blasieholmen, Söderhallsgaraget, or Eiragaraget are also solid options just a short walk away.

    Pro-Tip: If you're up for a slightly longer walk, parking in the Södermalm district is often easier and more affordable than in Norrmalm.

    Street Parking in Gamla Stan
    Street parking directly in Gamla Stan (the Old Town) is extremely limited and can be difficult to find. If you do find a spot, expect to pay around 20–31 SEK per hour as it's in the inner city tax zone.


    Bob's Parking Tips
    Book in Advance: We strongly recommend booking a garage spot online in advance, especially if you're arriving on a weekend or holiday.

    Quick Drop-off: If you just need to unload your luggage, you can usually stop briefly outside the property before heading to a garage.

    Go Car-Free! Gamla Stan is incredibly walkable and perfectly connected by metro (T-bana), buses, and ferries. You likely won't need a car to explore the city.

    Happy parking! ✨

    How to check-in?

    Step 1: Complete Your Online Check-In
    Head to our secure check-in portal here: https://reception.bobw.co/check-in

    You can do this any time before arriving, no need to wait for check-in day. This helps us get everything ready for your stay.



    Find your booking number
    You’ll need this to check in online. It’s usually in your confirmation email from wherever you booked (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.). Look for terms like:

    “Booking/confirmation number”

    “Booking ID”

    “Reservation number”

    Can’t find it? Check your spam folder—emails love to hide there sometimes 😉



    Get your door code
    Once your check-in is complete, your unique door code will pop up on the evening before check-in day in the Guest Area under "Open Doors". That’s how you’ll access your apartment—no keys needed!



    Do I need to add my credit card to the check-in form?
    Only if you want to book extras, like breakfast, or if you'll be staying in one of the city tax locations seen here.

    If your stay was fully paid via your company or booking site, you can skip this step—just leave the credit card fields empty and close the tab. Easy!



    Didn’t get a confirmation email?
    Double-check that your email and phone number are correct.

    We always send your check-in info by email—and often via SMS or WhatsApp too. Still nothing? Just reach out and we’ll sort it 👍

    Whilst Staying

    Please read Bob's house rules carefully. If you break them, you will be charged a fine and/or your booking will be terminated – and no one wants that!
    Respect your neighbours. You're sharing the building with other guests and residents. Be aware of your noise levels and keep things tidy. Quiet hours are 10 pm - 8 am daily.

    No parties or any events that might disturb other guests. We know, parties are fun, but people need their rest too.

    No pets, unless otherwise confirmed in advance by Bob W in writing. Just reach out with questions!

    Shoes off inside. Not only does this reduce noise for your neighbours, but it also keeps the apartment clean and in good shape.

    No smoking, even on balconies. Please use marked outdoor smoking areas.

    No drugs or use of any illegal substances. If we find a reason to believe this is happening during or after your stay, you will be reported to the local authorities and that’d be a major bummer.

    No rubbish in the hallways. Please check your apartment for instructions on how to deal with rubbish and recycling.

    Respect our cleaners. Although each apartment is thoroughly cleaned after check-out, please pick up after yourself and use common sense when leaving. If you leave a big mess that takes extra time to clean up, you’ll be charged.

    Keep to your check-in and check-out times. Your last-minute schedule changes impact our cleaners and other guests.

    Report any possible damage you see in the apartment during your stay so Bob can fix it.

    You are always fully responsible to pay for damages caused by you, your guests or pets. Any violations of the law or fraudulent activities will result in immediate termination of your booking and will be reported to the local police for further investigation. It’s Bob’s responsibility to make sure all guests are safe and have a good time! Thanks for your understanding and for helping us out with this.
