Gamla Stan

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.

No more check-in queues and lost keycards. Check in online before you arrive. Access your room using just your phone. Find out more.

Your furry friends are very welcome at Bob W Stockholm Gamla Stan. Bob loves pets.

Most pet stays require a one-time fee when booking. There's no charge for service animals.

We allow one large pet (up to 45kg) or two small pets (up to 23kg each) per apartment.

Add optional breakfast to your booking for an extra fee. You’ll get a traditional breakfast at Bröd & Salt Skeppsbrokajen or Kaffekoppen. It's neighbourhood approved, you'll find the locals here. A great, easy option especially when you’re still settling in on the first morning.  For more details please see the FAQ section below.

Shake off the travel stiffness with our local gym partner, Fitness24Seven. Just in case exploring the neighbourhood isn't enough to tire you out.

Bob W has partnered with Welcome Pickups. They have excellent English-speaking drivers and reasonable prices. 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.

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! ✨

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.
