Ett Hem, which means “a home” in Swedish, is a beautiful boutique hotel set in a townhouse in a residential area. The hotel is intimate and calm, and it truly feels like you are at someone’s home, with very polite and nice staff. They also have a great restaurant that uses local produce and is well worth a visit even if you’re not staying at the hotel.
