Reviews of Birka Hotel
Magda from United Kingdom (8/10)
Great location within walking distance to the central train station and old town. Comfortable beds and friendly staff.
Michal from Poland (7/10)
A small room in a small hotel in the middle of expensive city. One doesn't go there for comfort but for reasonable price. Stuff is doing great job, though.
Jeanne from United States (7/10)
The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I liked that it was necessary to enter a code prior to entering the hotel. It was in a great location, close to a metro stop and easy walking distance to many sites. It is located on a quiet street with no traffic or bars close by. The breakfast buffet was very good, both hot and cold foods, plenty of choices. I booked the economy double room which was exactly as pictured on the website. It was a compact room with a small, but adequate bathroom. The shower had good water pressure and hot water.
James from United Kingdom (8/10)
The hotel location was a stones throw away from the Tube which made getting around the city exceptionally easy. The staff were extremely helpful & friendly. My room was always warm which was welcoming after a day exploring the sub zero temperatures. The choice of food at breakfast was excellent and it was constantly topped up 👌🏼
