KNACKERIET wins "Best Coworking Space in Stockholm" for 5th time!
Knackeriet recently won the title "Best Coworking Space in Stockholm". This time it was independent reviewers at Surf Office that listed Knackeriet as the #1 coworking space in all of Stockholm.
This was the fifth time that Knackeriet was listed as the best coworking space in Sweden and/or Stockholm, by different publications. We feel very humbled.
A big thanks to all the members who are making Knackeriet what it is. Here are some pictures from Knackeriet from the last few months!
We also have some really exciting news to share, very soon. So stay tuned!
Here is the link to the Surf Office article, and here are some other places where we have been listed as the best coworking space in Stockholm / best coworking space in Sweden.

Romantic Hotels
My latest website project is a website that helps people find romantic hotels. It's called Romantichotels.guide and I think it is one of the best sites I have created so far.
To me there is a strong correlation between romantic hotels and hotels that are nice in general.
The most romantic hotel in Stockholm right now is Lydmar Hotel. In Gothenburg, it is a strong competition between Hotel Pigalle and Dorsia. In Berlin, the top two hotels (Schlosshotel Berlin and Provocateur Berlin) both look AMAZING.
Here are some romantic hotels on the Amalfi Coast.
Maybe it's just me, but these are hotels where I would really like to stay.
I hope you like this site as much as I do.
I would be very happy if you would like to give me some feedback on it. :)

Cyber cowboys
Min vän Jonatan Heyman och jag är med i det senaste avsnittet av Anna Leijons blogg Techskaparna.
Anna sökte upp oss för att hon ville veta mer om vår sajt Boutiquehotel.me men podden blev ett samtal om mer än så - både om framgångar och motgångar och olika projekt som Jonatan och jag drivit under de senaste tio åren.
Eftersom podden spelades in på distans låter Jonatan och jag lite burkigare än vi gör i verkligheten (?).
Anna beskriver glatt att Jonatan och jag är som två cyber cowboys som lekt vilda västern på internet sedan begynnelsen. Den beskrivningen är det väl bara att omfamna?
Det är ju något lite arkaiskt över det. Och så kan det ju kännas! Tiden går fort på internet. :)Wednesday, May 12, 2021
Golf, nature and eco-hotels
A few new websites! This time for finding good hotels for golf players. Like golf hotels in Scotland, Portugal or Gran Canaria. There also a new website for eco-friendly hotels. Use it to find eco-friendly hotels in Bali, Tulum or Goa. Last but not least... a whole website dedicated to finding nature hotels. Like hotels for hiking, hotels for fishing in Canada, hotels for cycling, horse-riding and canoeing. And surf-hotels and dive-hotels!

Glamping hotel guide!
We have recently created a website for finding glamping hotels and so called "luxury tent" campings around the world. It is called glamping-guide.com
Glamping is a fun, growing concept - still rather in it's infancy! It is beginning to pop up new glamping places around in the world, for example here in Sweden.
Some of the glamping destionations on the site are Tulum, California and the Canary Islands.
If you know of some glamping places that we have missed, let us know.

Jambuka!
Indonesia is a fairly populous country - it has about 260 million inhabitants. Just Jakarta, the capital, has about the same population size as Sweden. However, not everyone is yet online.

Using Jam-buka.com in Jakarta |
If you want to - check the Google Page Speed Insights for Jam-buka.com
So what does Jam-buka.com do? It let's people find opening hours to many types of businesses in Indonesia.
As they say in indonesian: "Jam Buka untuk lebih dari satu juta bisnis di Indonesia".

Stockholms top 10 bästa coworking-spaces
Nyss fick jag ett mail av Karsten Deppert, en väldigt kul multi-entreprenör från Skåne som bland annat ligger bakom Contentor, Rescued Fruits och Mindpark.
Karsten berättade att han - med inspiration av mig (!) byggt en sajt för att ranka svenska coworkingspaces. Sajten hittar du på Coworkingplatser.se.
Som en kul knorr visade det sig att Knackeriet är det högst rankade stället i Stockholm. Och i hela Sverige, faktiskt!
Här är top-10-listan över coworking spaces i Stockholm:
- Knackeriet
- The Castle
- Norrsken
- Things
- Wework
- United Spaces Waterfront
- Convendum Mood
- Epicenter
- Convendum Vasagatan

A lovely website for finding Ski Hotels!
I know from experience that finding the best ski hotels requires a lot of time and detective work on the regular booking sites.

The best Ski Hotels in Åre |
This is from experience. I have been taking the night train to Åre, here in Sweden, at least once per season for a few years. But it is obvious that it takes some time to figure out which the best hotels are. With ski-hotels-guide.com I hope to make this process much easier.
This is what I am looking for in a great ski hotel:
- It should preferably have ski-in / ski-out. So you don't need a car or a shuttle to get to the slopes!
- It's great if the hotel has a swimming pool, hot tub and/or a sauna.
- It's great if the hotel has it's own ski rental service. So you can pre-book your skis. Especially when you have limited time or when you are traveling with kids, it can be quite frustrating to have to wait in line at a busy ski rental shop, when all you want to do is get out and ski.
- The best ski hotels also are not too big. A hotel with fewer rooms will have more personal service.
- It's good if the hotel has a nice restaurant.
In Åre, the hotel that ticks most of these boxes is Buustamons Fjällgård. I love that place, and so do my kids.
I have never been to the Alps, but I've heard there's some good skiing there too... Like in Zermatt, Courchevel, Avoriaz , Ischgl and Gstaad, and well, hundreds of other places. My friends here in Knackeriet have also fallen in love with skiing in Hokkaido, Japan.
What do you think makes a ski hotel great? Let me know. All feedback is very welcome. The site will keep developing in the coming months!

Målet är (fortfarande) att fortsätta ha kul
Digital-nomadismen känns idag som en ganska stor grej! Så har det inte alltid varit. Jag köpte min första (mycket begagnade) laptop någon gång runt år 2000, och ungefär då tillkom min egen lilla dröm om friheten att kunna jobba från var som helst i världen. Med hjälp av en laptop och en internetuppkoppling.
På den tiden var det en ganska radikal idé. Till att börja med fanns det knappt wifi. Och det var inte så många som satt med laptops på caféer då. Det framstod nog som lite udda. Och nämnde jag att det knappt fanns wifi? Som en kul anekdot: när jag startade Tidningsbutiken 2004 så hade jag själv inte en internetuppkoppling hemma, utan använde min grannes olåsta wifi. Och när jag byggde upp sajten, sittandes på Mjölkbaren i Hornstull, så var det också med hjälp av någon av grannarnas olåsta wifi, som de delade öppet. Wifi utan lösenord var standard på den tiden.

2009: "Målet är att fortsätta ha kul" |
Frihet är fortfarande ett starkt ledord. Och målet är - fortfarande - att fortsätta ha kul!

The Castle Hotels Guide is finally here
It is a website for finding the best castle hotels - and it is called Castle-hotels-guide.com
I'm quite proud of it, and think it is perhaps the best castle hotels site in the world, already.
Since the word "castle" can mean somewhat different things to different people - and in different countries - I have also included hotels in old manor houses, palaces, monasteries, "herrgårdar", "säterier", french "relais" and historic buildings in general.
This is, therefore, a website for finding hotels in castles and in other buildings with "castle-ness". And that is really the point. When people are searching for castle hotels, what they are looking for is usually historic countryside hotels, romantic hotels, wedding venues etc.
To find the best castles and palaces we use a combination of algoritms and "hand-picked" curation. Thank you Anna Pinto!
This is the first version of the site, that we are launching today. But we will of course continue to make it better, both content-wise, copy-wise and in it's functions, of course. Currently there is no map, for example - something that will be fixed shortly. :)
Hope you all enjoy this site, I am super happy that it is finally live!
You can use it to find hotels in Sweden (Stockholm, Gothenburg etc) and in Europe (Cork, Dublin, Frankfurt, Galway, Kent, London, Munich, Oban Scotland, Vienna, Wicklov Ireland, York) and in the rest of the world!

Tennis hotels around the world
To help with this problem I had to create a dedicated website for finding the best hotels with tennis courts around the world. I do think it is the best of its kind around - showing you the actual pictures of the tennis courts, and explaining in some detail about the tennis facilities at the hotels.
You can use the site to find amazing tennis hotels in places like London, Dubai, San Francisco, Bangkok and Las Vegas, and many more places.
For example, in my hometown of Stockholm, there is a hotel in the middle of the city that has a free outdoor tennis court for its guests. So nice. That tennis court also happens to be the oldest tennis court in Sweden, so you have to check it out if you are in Stockholm.
You can also look at hotels with pools - in places like London, Barcelona, Rome, New York and Madrid - that I recently created with the help from a friend here at Knackeriet.
