Nordic Light Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel has a good location, very close to the airport train. The staff were very friendly and accommodated our needs. We asked for a room away from the road aswe thought it would be noisy. The room was quiet but had only a view of empty office space and was quite dark. Never worked out how the air con/heating worked! There was a good spread for breakfast. "

Haymarket by Scandic

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly, this hotel looks luxury from the outside, which is not really a bad thing. Thankfully the price was not luxury. This hotel is perfectly located for exploring Stockholm, and being right next to the market was a bonus. My only complaint would be that some rooms, ours included, don't have windows. Not a huge inconvenience, but your sleep might get jacked up a little."

Radisson Blu Royal Viking Hotel, Stockholm

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is in a good location. There are restaurants and stores nearby. The train station is next to it. The downside is a little attention needed to cleaning details. A small section of the wall in the shower looks like there was mold growing. I also saw a stain or something spilled along the frame in an area leading to the bed. It was very visible but nothing done to remove it."

Scandic Sodra Kajen

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, with very good staff. Check in was painless and our room was ready before the usual check in time. We had a great view from the 12th floor of the ferry dock and it was great to see them coming in and out each day. Only negative I would have to say is that the area is pretty desolate. Nearest places to eat outside the hotel are a 20 minute walk away, although a supermarket is next door. Thankfully the bus service into the city was great and ran like clockwork."
