The least fancy of the Bengtsson family hotels, the Lord Nelson doesn’t live up to the Lady Hamilton or The Victory. Nestling between souvenir shops on a tourist thoroughfare the exterior is not particularly prepossessing, and is in fact more reminiscent of an English pub than a decent hotel. But this is all part of the old-fashioned, Gamla Stan package – inside, things are different.

One of the narrowest lobbies in Stockholm is full to overflowing, as with its sister hotels, with old models of ships, compasses and naval antiques. This theme is fervently maintained throughout the 29 rooms. These cabin-like constructions boast portholes and are named after famous ships. Rooftop decking offers respite from the slightly cramped interior, affording views over the ancient neighbourhood rooftops.

Reasonable rates for the Old Town and heaps of character make this cosy set-up an attractive prospect.

Hg2 Special Offer 

Are we alone in always rather coveting those lovely, fluffy bathrobes in hotels? If you’re of a like mind then you are going to love the Lord Nelson’s special offer. Book into the hotel through Hg2.com and receive a free bathrobe.

The hotel should be aware that your booking has come from Hg2, but it’s always a good idea to have a copy of your booking confirmation just in case.
