Top Central Stockholm Hotel Reviews

Downtown Camper by Scandic

8/10 Good

"Absolutely a beautiful hotel, absolutely loved the roof top pool and sauna. The bartenders have a great memory of what my husband and I were drinking and would have it ready before we asked. They offered a taxi service setup to the airport the night before checkout. City central which made walking around a breeze!"

Clarion Hotel Amaranten

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. The service was excellent throughout my stay, and the breakfast was very good, with a nice selection of food. The overall atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant place to stay."

Radisson Blu Royal Viking Hotel, Stockholm

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and practical hotel in a perfect location: walkable distance to all major attractions and several shopping hubs; and literally next to Central Station from where one can travel from anywhere in Stockholm to anywhere in Sweden to anywhere in Europe, not to mention the Arlanda airport express. Staff if friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommend!"
