Modern travellers looking for a tech-friendly base will appreciate this property's industrial-chic rooms equipped with integrated Chromecast and rain showers. Its primary highlight is the rooftop dining experience at Kasai in the Sky, located close to the central station.

- Located on the fourteenth floor, the restaurant serves Japanese-inspired cuisine alongside panoramic views of the city and the Øresund bridge. It functions as a social hub for both hotel residents and locals.
- A five-minute walk from the city's main transport hub allows for effortless arrivals and quick rail access to Copenhagen. The surrounding Studio building district is a growing creative and business center.

Reviews from Google“Had a lovely stay at the Story Hotel Malmö. We arrived early, and Alva was so helpful with storing our luggage and helping us learn a bit about the town. She later remembered us and was always a friendly face. Everyone else was nice too. The view from our comfortable roomwas wonderful, and the bed was comfy. In addition, the breakfast is fabulous. The offerings might be the same every day, but there are a bunch of options, even for my husband who is vegetarian.”
“I had a very enjoyable stay at Story Hotel Studio Malmö. The hotel has a modern design, a relaxed atmosphere, and beautiful waterfront views. The room was comfortable and well equipped, the staff were friendly, and the location was great for exploring Malmö. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would happily stay here again.”
“A great hotel in Central Malmö. The rooms are really nice and modern with all the facilities need for your stay. The service is good especially in the reception. The breakfast and the staff in the breakfast area are the only things worth noting as a small minus to the quality.”
“We stayed here for two nights and had a pleasant experience. Sea view room was lovely and, most importantly, the room was quiet. We enjoyed the breakfast foods ans the view! Close enough to walk to spots we wanted to go to. Main issue was the bathroom - very little toiletry space and the shower was not a comfortable experience, something my family members who stayed in other rooms also expressed frustration with. I don't understand the design, to not get water everywhere you kinda had to figure out an uncomfortable positioning of the body and showerhead (overall not a huge deal but if I had stayed more than 2 nights it would get really annoying). Staff were very helpful.”
“The view was amazing undoubtedly. The breakfast didn’t have that many selections but the quality was good. I wished that they could offer more than filtered coffee but I understand that might be a thing in Nordic countries. They offered me a 100 sek voucher as a Hyatt member to be used in the restaurant at the rooftop. It had a great atmosphere at night but it was pricey as expected. So it was a complementary welcome drink essentially. However my room was not thoroughly clean. I found the spoon in the mug was used and not replaced.”
