Hotel Ruth, Stockholm, Sweden, 12 October 2024

Unbelievably charming och personal, with an incredibly good, varied and delicious breakfast. I have breakfasted in many places in the world, and this one is one of my top 3 – ever! (The other two are in Sun City in South Africa, and in Singapore.) Excellent variation, with pleasant and attentive staff. The only negative of importance was that the coffee was too weak – something I of course pointed out. The importance of good coffee in the morning means that the verdict is 9/10 – albeit a strong 9.
