You can stay at those well known chains of hotels with their exactly proportioned rooms and exactly duplicated furnishings and that cater to defined guest budgets all expressed in algorithms probably these days, or you can find yourself a home from home where you are getting what you hoped for at a price that you can afford. Steering that choice these days has become even more problematic as hotels find it increasingly difficult to employ reliable staff at all levels and costs continue to rise. It’s a poor prognosis with a discouraging theme. Bigger hotels have to play to an economy off scale on their costs, higher prices and less staff to take care of guests resulting in mistakes, lack of care of the properties and a spiral of dissatisfied guests. A nightmare. One way out of this for potential hotel guests is to simply avoid the behemoths no matter how many stars they have or what facilities they boast. At the end of the day you need a home from home, you need it at an affordable price and hopefully located where you can get all the benefits you were anticipating in the place to which you are traveling. Post pandemic (if what they say is true) the flood gates have opened for the tourist season so they say and hotels will be benefiting from that. How well are they coping? Well in the case of Hornsgaten Hotel the best description would be riding the wave. This is a small scale (not boutique) very central in Stockholm surrounded by foodie heavens and some shopping that is a conversion of one of the old huge apartments which once abounded here a hundred years ago.

This is one for adults, children welcome, and unusually run by the owner Clara and husband on a daily basis which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are not huge but adequate and each of them said to be individually furnished. I chose a two bedroom variant with a private bathroom but some of the other rooms were sharing bathrooms and toilets. Hence the hostelry feel. But it is all done in an incredibly charming way, smiles and pleasantries and good advice. Concern for your comfort, and after my very recent face off with another hotel chain over double charging me at one hotel and triple charging me at another, it was a blast of warm and pleasant feeling that someone gave a hoot about me as a guest. Breakfast was self-service Swedish style and as already mentioned you are not going to starve in this area of Stockholm with an incredibly well-serviced variety of tastes and culinary styles (eleven in the block where the hotel is) available in a wide price range. So if your taste is for the slightly more human approach to living as a guest in a hotel and you like the company of other people I cannot recommend Horngaten too highly and my only h
