Reimersholme Hotel is a budget hotel, restaurant and live music stage at Reimersholmsgatan 5 on Reimersholme, the small island just west of Södermalm in Stockholm. It describes itself as a hotel, concert venue and meeting place for artists, neighbours and tourists. Travellers come for simple rooms, lake views over Lake Mälaren, and intimate gigs held right inside the building.
What to Expect at Reimersholme Hotel
Rooms are unfussy and practical. Guests can choose between shared bathrooms and private en suite bathrooms, which makes the hotel popular with backpackers, touring musicians and travellers who want a quieter island base with views over the water. Reimersholme is a residential island linked to Södermalm by a short bridge, and the leafy island of Långholmen lies directly across the channel.
The ground floor holds a food bar that has moved into a full restaurant. The restaurant serves dinner Wednesday to Saturday from 17:00 to 22:00. A simpler lunch and bar menu runs from 12:00 until closing. Several nights a week the hotel stages concerts, club nights, brunches, quizzes, talks and stand-up comedy. Beyond the music, guests can book a sauna and try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) or e-foil sessions on the water. In winter the hotel also hosts a traditional julbord (Christmas buffet).
- Live stage: Intimate concerts with local and touring acts, plus releases, lectures and comedy.
- Restaurant and bar: Dinner Wednesday to Saturday, with an all-day bar menu and ping pong.
- Bastu (sauna): A waterside sauna that can be booked through the hotel.
- SUP and e-foil: Paddleboard and electric hydrofoil sessions on Lake Mälaren.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Check the events calendar before booking. Popular gigs fill the small room quickly, and rooms above the stage can be lively on concert nights. Table booking at the restaurant pauses during summer, so arrive early in warm months. From Hornstull metro station, walk west along Långholmsgatan and cross the Reimersholme bridge. The route is flat, but some areas inside the older building may involve steps, so guests with reduced mobility should call ahead about room access.
Within a 5 to 15 minute walk, you can reach:
- Långholmen: A green island with swimming cliffs, a beach and the former prison museum.
- Hornstull: A neighbourhood of cafés, bars and the seasonal Hornstull Strand market.
- Skinnarviksberget: A hilltop offering one of Stockholm’s best city panoramas.
