Hotel C Stockholm

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at this hotel. Location is fantastic, next to central train station and walkable to a number of sites. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is outstanding!!! Highly recommend this hotel!!"

Nordic Light Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in an ideal location. It is close to upscale shopping and some of the best restaurants in Stockholm. Even more importantly, right across the street is the airport train, which will get to the airport in 20 minutes as opposed to trying to take a taxi or an Uber, which may take an hour and a half during rush-hour traffic. The hotel is also across the street from the Stockholm Central station, which is great if you plan to travel in Scandinavia by train. Please note that this hotel does not have air-conditioning like most Stockholm hotels. I can highly recommend this property."

Downtown Camper by Scandic

4/10 Poor

"We felt not welcomed! Front receptionist staff were rude. They didn’t even welcome us. It looked like they didn’t like to rate we gave for the rooms on expedia. They gave us a room in the basement. I believe it was under the restaurant because there were lots of chair moving on our ceiling. The room was dusty and hairs on the desk. I had to wash the mugs in the room before I use. When I asked the room to be cleaned the next day, they said that they can’t promise. Very disappointed and would not recommend it to anyone. The breakfast was great though."
