Hotel is centrally located, close to the Malmö University, train station and plenty of shops. It is a 10-minute walk to the food hall which has
Free breakfast is offered for all and is very substantial and very tasty.
Room design was minimalist yet functional.
TV is Chromecast-enabled, allowing for additional viewing of cast-able content.
Room has 4 outlets, each with one plug port and 2 USB-ports each. We traveled with UK converters & an (USB-C charger block) and were able to easily charge all of our devices.

What we did not like

The room lacked storage space to unpack. We spent 3 days living out of my suitcases which were laid open on the bench by the window.
Hotel partners with Nordic Wellness, which is a 5-minute walk. Thee is no information provided by the hotel on the gym policy, which would have been appreciated as there is a specific no outside shoes in the gym policy.
Shower has no door to enclose it, resulting in water splashing all over the floor.
Walls are thin, you can hear the neighbor.
Hotel is the top floors of an office building, which was confusing to navigate prior to check-in.
Building has 2 small elevators, serving all floors, which during the busy workweek might be congested & slow.
Hotel does not require a keycard to access room floors, a safety concern.

Verdict

For the start of our 5-country Europe anniversary trip we booked Story Hotel Studio Malmö as it was 3,500 Hyatt points per night. With a complimentary upgrade to a King Bed Oceanview room, free breakfast for all, nearby train station, this hotel is an ideal base for a few days visiting the Swedish city.
