3-Star Hotels in Stockholm

The location is perfect (nearby the train, bus terminal - but not loud), the rooms are minimalistic and comfortable - everything you need is there! The rooms are clean when you arrive. You can grab some breakfast at the barception (for 8 sek.). All in all a really great stay!

Overall, not too many complaints about the hostel. It was incredibly clean, offered a free towel for the shower, and had easy to use lockers. Social activities could be better compared to other hostels I’ve stayed at. Easy walk to both the central station and the city. Overall, I’d definitely stay again.

The positive things: Good location, 5 min walking from metro. Great breakfast, more choices than usual for vegans Friendly staff The linnen was clean Not so positive: Room is pretty dated and has carpet, which doesn’t look clean at all. They made an effort to have nice decor but it’s not enough to hide that it’s all a bit worn and dirty. Security could be better. There is no lock on the inside of the door of the room. To get to the room, you have to pass 2 doors with a keycard, these were unlocked or even wide open on lots of occasions. I put a chair and bags in front of the door at night. You can also hear the locks of nearby doors opening, so this made me a bit more on edge, as it sounds as if someone is coming in your room. I did not sleep well at all (also because the bed is very soft, which I personally don’t like). There is no refrigerator but there is a big ironing board and iron in the very small area that is supposed te be your ‘closet’. Don’t need an iron, do need a refrigerator. There is no thermostat and it was very hot in the room. Had the window open whenever we were in the room, also at night. On the bed there is only linnen on the topper and nothing covering the side of the boxspring. There is very little room in the bathroom to put your stuff. The curtain is too small so you can not make the room dark at all. At night there is also some light that comes in. For reference: I stayed in room 518, overlooking the courtyard. It seems as if there are also newer rooms in a different hallway on this floor, I am not sure how many of the rooms are of this poor quality.

The room was larger than expected, and it was possible to barely open 2 suitcases. The bathroom was well decorated. It is a sparrow, although it is small and complete, including breakfast. The disadvantage is that it doesn't look very far from the station. In fact, it takes a detour. The journey takes about 15 minutes and the luggage is a bit far away.

I had no problem during my 1-day stay. Room was clean, silent, bed really confortable and excellent shower. Liked very much the breakfast. However, when reading the 1-star reviews, I find them very plausible. Probably not a good idea to book the rooms without windows or stay during extreme seasons. The building is quite new, but one can see (check the picture) their standards are not 5-star, so probably a malfunction air conditioning system is to be expected. On the bright side, location is really good, close to Fridhemsplan, where you can catch Flygbussarna to the airport, saving a few bucks.

The hotel is clean and cute. Its location is great, especially if one intends to visit Gamla Stan. It has shared toilets and showers which of course makes prices lower. You get slippers that can be used in the hotel room or for visit the showers/toilets. The shower-room smells a bit of sewer, and that is probably why the windows are open but now in September that makes the shower-room very cold. I tried to close the windows but they are stuck. The same problems with the windows in my hotel room, one is stuck. The window seems too big for the frame. The front desk closes at 21.00/9 pm and no one is present. If you loose the key to your room you are in major problem. On the envelope for the keys there is a warning text that if you loose your key you have to wait til staff arrives in the morning or you will be heavily charged if you want to be locked in right away. But that I had to read on the key envolpe, because the receptionist did not tell me that. The key envelope was so cluttered that the wifi-password was not easy to spot. The tv has only three Swedish channels, nothing else, not even BBC World. Free wifi with password on key envelope - which I had to go and ask where iti was at the front desk, because receptionist did not tell me that, either. But no phones in the room so you have to walk to the front desk everytime you want to ask something. And the receptionist did not give me such vital information so I had to go to the front desk at least three times. The luggage storage is just in the hallway in a corridor by the front desk. At the front desk you can buy coffee, tea, soft drinks, smaller snack bags and fruit. I have not seen sandwiches. I have not tried the ironing service. Staff seem friendly, but I have a sneaky feeling that when I turn my back negativity might surface. I am travelling alone in work.

I have to say that the hotel is very satisfactory. I stayed in the cheapest room in the hotel at the beginning of March. Although it is in the basement, its air quality and ventilation system is still very good. I spent two quiet nights here, although the hotel has a party in the lobby and bar in the afternoon and evening. But after 10 o'clock, there is no sound. The bathroom of this hotel also makes me very happy, because its bath glass is really beautiful, and it is equipped with a lot of lights to ensure that even if I need to use lights at night, but Not dazzling.

The hotel is especially well located on the island of the old town, and we are in Royal Palace in 5 minutes walk to the Nobel Museum or Metro Gamla stan. The hotel is located 20 minutes walk (quiet walk) from the Ferry Viking Line terminal, 15 minutes from the Museum of Photo and 15-20 minutes from the Central Station. The room was very small but well-ranged, clean and the bathroom was very clean too. I sent a SMS to the telephone number I was given but I never received a reply, unfortunately*****t. That's a little negative point. However, you can then leave your bags in bookmarks in museums or at the central station. In the museums, the orders are often free (Mediéval Museum or Vasa Museum) and at the station it's 39 SEK / h with a maximum of 199 SER / 24h. But a hotel should allow the storage of a baggage a few hours between the check-out and another start.

The hotel is very close to the subway station and is five minutes away. Breakfast buffet is the same thing every day and there are not too many things to eat. But really recommend mini croissant! Delicious! The hotel should have too few facilities, the room is not convenient without refrigerator and dumplings, but in the lounge there is a microwave and drinking water place. My room is so remote that I have to walk a long way to drink water every time I want. The ground floor was a bit too old and the walls were beginning to look disrepaired. Staff would like to clean only once knock on the door and immediately open the door to come in, even the reaction time did not ⋯😱 Is the price not too high, or is the price too high in Sweden? Always feel not worth it.

Great staff, delicious breakfast and cleaning. Very well located, pretty central and close to different parts of the city. For those who are checking out early, they give you a take away breakfast, which was super! By the time I arrived, around 3pm, my room wasn’t ready yet. I chose the superior Room and thought it expensive for the price. That would be the the only issue that Would make me not choosing Scandic 53 again.
