Stockholm County hotels & accommodations
We spent 2 nights at the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel in Stockholm before boarding a cruise. The hotel was so convenient; we walked from the Stockholm Central Train Station, and the staff were excellent. Breakfast is absolutely wonderful! The hotel exceeded my expectations.
the hotel feels a bit small and not terribly exclusive in the lobby, in comparison to the name and how many rooms there are. but there are plenty of friendly staff and an alert concierge-desk. you can get a great view from the water-facing rooms. long walks to some of the rooms. the room we got was nice and fresh, while the corridor leading to it was less cheerful. we...
If you can afford it, go for it, as it is one of the best located properties in Stockholm. T-Centralen, which is the metro station from where you can access possibly all of the tourist attractions is BELOW the hotel, while plenty of trams and buses are available on the road outside. A good number of tourist attractions are accessible by foot from this hotel. Cannot wri...
Within a day, we became acquainted with key areas of Stockholm and realised how well positioned Hotel Sturplan is in the city. Positioned a block from a subway station and amidst shopping areas, lovely neighbourhoods, sidewalk cafes, and popular waterfront attractions, it's a surprisingly quiet and really comfortable stay. Staff were without exception very helpful, and...
I was visiting Stockholm during winter time, the location of Generator hostel its great 10mins walk from the central station. Facilities of the hostel are great..Example:USB port almost can find all the common area which is good for charging phone or electronic gadget.. Its the best hostel I ever stayed so far.. Must visit them again.... Staff are nice.. I was late to...
The room is very well-decorates for its size. The room is very small but everything looks nice! If u look for clean hotel in a very center of Stockholm.. this is the best choice! plus its price is quite low low for stockholm :)
We couldn't be happier with our 1 night stay here. The staff was extremely accommodating when we arrived early from a long flight, so we got the room in the morning. This was the best thing that could happen to us, as we could have a nap in the best bed in the world, before heading out to see the city. Rooms are just excellent, there is absolutely nothing that wasn't g...
My stay here on AUG 14-17, 2014 was really nice! I actually tried to book my brother to stay here the night we arrived in Stockholm but I made a mistake on the dates and he had to go to another hostel nearby which he commented was not really nice so I am glad to have gotten my dates right for my stay here at City Backpackers! hee! well, the start of my arrival in Stoc...
the price/service ratio is excellent compared to most hotels in stockholm. this well located hotel has very good rooms with proper amenities. staff was most helpful from check-in to check-out. food was ok. could improve their breakfast buffet service logistic. business center very well equiped. will certainly book this hotel again while doing business in stockholm.
I have no objection regarding the location and type of rooms. Just opposite to the Stockholm central station, subway station just below the property, also close to shops/restaurants and other facilities. It has a decent breakfast. City center stockholm is generally very pricey and hotel room rates are high as well. Compared to that the rooms and the price are decent en...
The only thing wrong with this hotel is its location sandwiched between a motorway and the railway. You can only arrive and leave by car, as far as we could see and there's a nasty-looking factory right next to it .. Otherwise hand on heart it's spotlessly clean, big good rooms, nice breakfast and sweet staff. We'd probably stay again if we had to visit Stockhol...
awesome hoel choice. hotel is centrally located, close to public transport. Hotel staff was attentive, rooms were clean and the inclusive breakfast breakfast was better than most. I would recommend for anyone visiting Stockholm, who wanted to experience a quiet setting, expiencing a neighborhood feel, yet close to everything and easy access to the amazing public tra...
So I missed my gate closure by 3 minutes and needed a place to stay for the night. Since I rebooked for the next morning early, SkyCity seemed like the most convenient place to stay as it is in Arlanda airport. The accommodations were great. Clean. Comfortable. I was very aggravated getting in but I left with relaxed and ready to head back to Gatwick. I gave the staff ...
Two nights in Stockholm Evening arrival one day in Stockholm. Morning departure. Short bus ride to hotel bus Alpha 3. Back to terminal and 20 minute train to town. So easy. Very good restaurant and breakfast
I booked a cheap room last minute and it was perfect for what I needed for a few days. Small basic room with a twin size bed and tv. Nothing fancy but I wasn't going for fancy. I would use them again.
We had a 4 night stay at Hotel Tegnerlunden which in Stockholm. The hotel was well priced for the being so close to the centre of the city and Sweden is generally an expensive country. We arrived at the central station and walked to the hotel, took around 10 minutes and was easy to find. We arrived several hours early hoping to leave our bags before going exploring....
Very convenient for my work visit to Stockholm and within walking distance of central rail and bus stations.
Room is very small, not much of toiletries provided, no fridge in the room, breakfast was very basic,
Simple, clean accommodation close to the center. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was friendly.
This hotel is on the suborb of Stockholm but with an easy acces to the center since it is located just next to the subway. Atmosphere is great, the hotel is very nice. All the rooms are good size with stylish decoration. If you do not mind going downtown by subway or do not need to stay in the expensive old town center, this is the best option.
Lovely big rooms with excellent view (we were on the 11th floor). Hotel has free gym, sauna, wifi and breakfast. Conveniently located next door to a Metro station and bus depot, which made it easy to get to Central and to the Airport. The staff were very friendly and helpful and even let us check n very early so that we could freshen up and still get in a full day's si...
Excellent location for sightseeing and exploring Stockholm. Apartment was beautiful and well equipped. Spacious bedroom, full kitchen. Felt like a real apartment. Limited interactions with staff but when we did speak with them they were very helpful. Small leak in bathroom (tho it's hard to believe no one noticed it before us).
The best was silence, then breakfast, then location, stuff, cleanliness. Everything was good.Than you!
This hotel is located in a quiet town away from the busy Stockholm City Centre. It provides a great base to explore the quiet and charming nature trails along the archipelago island. May want to consider arranging this at the beginning of your Stockholm trip, as it quickly sets you in a vacation mode. However note that it takes a fair bit of walking around on foot if ...
Wonderful location, beautiful hotel.
unique stay in converted prison. slightly out of the way of central stockholm but worth while.

Has a kitchen where you can make coffee , Tea and cook something simple if you want (please, wash after use) Has tables outside rooms to sit and eat or disc...
it's located near the end of the main shopping street, much better than living in old town. The tidiness and facilities must exceed what you can expect for a budget hostel. I booked at a very bargaining price, and I don't think I can find anywhere better at this price in Stockholm.

The toilet and shower room are clean, and provide shower and shampoo, laundry is 30 SEK, staff was kind, they provide lots of travel information about eats and play.
The hostel is in a perfect location just beside the metro. There are some shops, restaurants, bars and supermarket around. The single room is very small, fit only for one person and there isn't any window, so the ventilation isn't very good. But overall it's a great hostel with this price in Stockholm.
The room is very well-decorates for its size. The room is very small but everything looks nice! If u look for clean hotel in a very center of Stockholm.. this is the best choice! plus its price is quite low low for stockholm :)
we were accepted with open arms, shown around and even assisted after hours, after I lost the card with our password information shown. Thank you for a great stay!
Firstly we were greeted by the super helpful staff Maryam, she allowed us for early check in after our long bus ride to Stockholm. Bed was comfortable. Location superb near Odenplan Metro station. Breakfast was great!!!!!! Love everything about this hotel
The hotel in itself was ok. The food (breakfast and dinners) were very good. Unfortunately the train station is about 500m from the hotel and 9 train stops into town. There are no other restaurants near the hotel or shops. It rained a lot while we were in Stockholm so the distance from the station was highlighted! The service however from the front desk was wonderful a...

Booked the apartment for a two night stay as I was meeting local family in the area. The apartment was perfect. Very good value for money, clean, tidy and had a shop close by. Not too far from a tube station about a 10min walk and then a 7minute journey into Stockholm central. Will definitely be using these apartments again.
Very convenient for my work visit to Stockholm and within walking distance of central rail and bus stations.
I slept one night and it was so clean hotel and staff were very helpful, I asked them for baby bed after five minutes it was there. I had a great time there and absolutely recommended and it worse the price and more, i will stay with them again in future. /Khalil

I had a lovely stay. Thanks for the hospitality!
Brilliant location in Stockholm with it being around 20mins to/from the central station. There are another 2 TunnelBana/Metro stops not far away. Drottninggatan, one of the main streets is around 10mins walk away and from there you can get anything you want, and following the road leads you to the Parliament Building, the Royal Palace and into Old Town. If you go for t...
unique stay in converted prison. slightly out of the way of central stockholm but worth while.
Photoshopped photos on Google. Took forever to get the room after checking in. Shower only had hot water. No one at front desk to complain about shower, had to wait until morning. In the morning had a different staff that was more helpful and understanding. Have offered us another room but the show leaked water all over. Finally got a third room. The triple was tiny. T...
Staff were. very helpful, adding a third adult to the booking at short notice and providing a trundle bed. Arrangements were also made to check in after reception had closed. Tea and coffee making facilities were available near the room. A very good breakfast was provided to suit gluten, dairy and pork allergies. It was only a short walk down to the Viking ferry term...
Great location near two train stations making it easy to get into the city centre. Very good breakfast options. Very helpful staff. Room was good size and comfortable. Would stay here again.

the room was unlivable, we stayed only 5 hours before we decided to sleep in the car instead. Terrible experince.

Veronica was a really good hostess. The location of the place is a bit far from a bus stop that goes frequently but once you have found it, it is a breeze. The surroundings are beautiful and overlooks the lake and there is a an amazing path you can walk to really admire the lake. Overall if you are looking for an escape from the city to be surrounded by natural beaut...

Wonderful location, beautiful hotel.
We liked the nice welcome from the hotel and the free nice wine and fruits. everything is clean and the hotel look like new. The gym facility is very good and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel location was perfect just a walkable distance from Centrum "Sodertaly Center" and from my relatives flat as well.
Memory hotel is nice and quite hotel, the staff is friendly and helpful, near the hotel you can find Kista market and there a lot of restaurants (Indian, Arab, Mexican, American and chins restaurants), I will not back to this hotel because the rate is too expensive and they need to provide coffee maker at the room
Great hotel at Sigtuna. Free bike rental to go around the neighbourhood. Breakfast is great
Great location near two train stations making it easy to get into the city centre. Very good breakfast options. Very helpful staff. Room was good size and comfortable. Would stay here again.
My partner and I stayed one night at the Rica Gamla Stan Hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Located right in the heart of the Rica Gamla Stan area, the hotel is close to many lovely eateries, shopping and sight-seeing locations. The room we stayed in was very quaint and cosy and full of charm. Highly recommended hotel
A 450SEK ($US 100) parking fine because reception directed us to the wrong parking area, and indifferent to the fact when informed next morning. The hotel sign on the car dashboard does not protect you. DON'T park directly in front of the hotel. Impossible to park next to hotel entry- not sure where guests park when arriving with luggage. Poor/no air conditioning, and ...
This hotel has good facility with good location and wide choice of breakfast.
The hotel itself is of a high standard but the room was quite poor. The room felt cheap. For a 4* hotel and this amount of money it was way overpriced....think 4* price and 2* quality and you're closer to the truth: old paint, damaged door, holes in the walls, tiny bathtub, fake marble finish, cracked tiles, etc, things you just don’t expect to find when you spend near...
I like 17th century's European architectures and thus I like old town a lot. I am also fascinated by castle and palace. It was so joyful that the hotel was just next to the Royal Palace! There were lots of restaurants, bars, and souvenirs shops near by, so it was quite convenient. It was not far from the nearest metro (or train?) station as well. The staff was polite a...

Wery nice stay as expected since I have stayed there before. Good rooms and exelent breakfast for a reasonable price. Walkingdistance to a lot of famous places that Stockholm is known for. Just a short walk and you are at Strandvägen and from there you can take a nice walk by the riverside. I really recomend this hotel if you will go to Stockholm.
We arrived and felt that the receptionist knew her job and that she really wanted us to feeel welcome. We went for a cup of coffe on the veranda. The service was promt. We had our coffe and my wife left for our room. Istayed waiting for the bill. After 15-20 minutes without anyone of the staff showing any interest I went looking for someone to whom I could pay the bi...
second stay at this hotel. the first impression is always the check in procedure. this time there was a long queue, as it seemed there were problems with the bookings of the guests before me. due to hotels.com not updating the hotel / or the hotel not knowing how to check . last time i stayed here there was a long queue for the check out, due to some guy having str...

More about Stockholm County
Discover the Charm of Stockholm Sweden
Stockholm is a city that effortlessly blends the old with the new, creating a unique charm that captivates every visitor. With its stunning architecture, picturesque waterfronts, and vibrant neighborhoods, Stockholm is a feast for the senses. The city is built on 14 islands, connected by over 50 bridges, making it a true water city. Strolling through its cobbled streets, you’ll find a mix of historic buildings and modern designs that tell the story of Sweden’s rich cultural heritage.
One of the highlights of Stockholm is its well-preserved Old Town, known as Gamla Stan. This charming district features narrow, winding streets lined with colorful buildings, quaint cafes, and artisan shops. Here, you can explore the Royal Palace, visit the Stockholm Cathedral, and immerse yourself in the city's history. Beyond the historical sites, Stockholm is home to a thriving arts scene, with numerous galleries, theaters, and museums, including the renowned Vasa Museum, which houses a 17th-century warship.
The city is also known for its green spaces and commitment to sustainability. Parks like Djurgården and Kungsträdgården provide serene escapes from the urban hustle and bustle, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic. Whether you're admiring the cherry blossoms in spring or enjoying the vibrant colors of autumn, Stockholm’s natural beauty adds to its allure.
Unforgettable Experiences Await in Stockholm
When visiting Stockholm, the experiences are as diverse as the city itself. From iconic landmarks to local festivities, there's something for everyone. A must-see is the Vasa Museum, where you can marvel at the well-preserved ship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. Another highlight is the ABBA The Museum, which offers a fun and interactive journey through the life and music of Sweden’s most famous pop group.

In the winter, Stockholm transforms into a magical wonderland, with Christmas markets offering handmade crafts, mulled wine, and gingerbread cookies.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of activities to enjoy as well. Take a boat tour through the archipelago, where you can explore the stunning islands that dot the coastline, or rent a kayak for a more hands-on adventure.

Whatever your interests, Stockholm promises unforgettable experiences that will leave lasting memories.
Best Time to Explore Stockholm

This is when the city buzzes with life, and you can enjoy everything from open-air concerts to food festivals. However, be prepared for the crowds, as this is peak tourist season.
If you prefer a quieter experience, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is still mild, and you can enjoy the beauty of blooming flowers or the vibrant fall foliage without the summer crowds. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to experience local events and cultural activities that take place during these times.
Winter in Stockholm is magical, with the city adorned in twinkling lights and festive decorations. The months of December to February bring a fairytale atmosphere, especially if you enjoy winter sports or cozying up in a café with a warm drink.

Regardless of when you visit, Stockholm offers a unique charm that is sure to enchant every traveler.
