    In our part of the hotel there was only one big shower room and one half-bathroom which could become a problem during the busy months.

    Conveniently located just 5 minutes walk from the metro station, which leads directly to the city center. The hotel is quite modern and has a big shared kitchen. The temperature in the rooms was perfect (we visited in Dec). We could leave our luggage after the checkout in a locker.

    I actually booked a room without a window, so I shouldn't complain about it being weird to not have a window in my room :D

    Very convenient in spite of its distance from city center - it's a short walk from the metro station, so easy enough to get there and back. That makes the value-for-money really good here: its' safe, clean, and convenient.

    The common areas are not that clean, the kitchen needs a big deep clean. My room was just by the entrance so it was a bit noisy - guest were arrive late night so that could be a problem for someone who does not sleep well. Bring your earplugs! :)

    The hotel is in a very safe and nice neighborhood, takes one metro line to get to the city center. Shops are nearby. The room was nice and very warm, the self check in with the code is very simple and easy. I use earplugs so i slept very well! The bed is comfy, the linen and the towels were nice and clean.

    Bathroom situation to be considered - take slippers with you!

    I knew that the bathroom is shared, but I did not know that there will be only two bathrooms (equipped with one toilet vase, one sink and one shower each) for the entire hotel of 20+ rooms (rough estimate). Or at least we only found two bathrooms as there were no signs or something similar to indicate any extra bathrooms. While this is not itself a deal breaker for many, it should be advertised as such because some people may not feel very comfortable in these conditions. Also, I have not seen anyone from the staff actually cleaning the bathroom during my stay and the bathroom naturally gets dirty as it is used by multiple persons.

    The room itself was nice, there is also a kitchen area if you want to prepare food and there is also fridge space allocated for every room. The area is really nice and quiet. It is linked directly by metro line to the city centre which only takes 18 minutes, which is more than reasonable. There are also some restaurants in the area and several grocery stores available. I particularly enjoyed the bed, the mattress is really qualitative and it is one single queen size bed for two people, as opposed to the nordic practice of merging two one person beds to make up a bed for couples. The room was really warm and cozy.

    It’s quite far from the city centre. Metro trains on that line were often cancelled during my stay and it took much longer time to get to the place than if it would had been located closer to the city.

    Very nice cozy rooms. Very clean property. There is also a kitchen, where you can cook your meal and store your food (in the fridge). 2 minute walk till the nearest metro station.

    My only suggestion as I stayed for a week is to offer fresh towels after 3 days. Complimentary milk should also be provided to guests.

    This Stockholm stay offered very good value for travel dollars. It's well situated on the metro train line, close to Central Station, less than 30 mins and easy to locate.

    Perfect for short stays
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Individual Room without Window
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The only discomfort for me was really thin walls, so I could hear all the noises going on in the salon by my room's door. One night an Italian couple decided to have a party on the sofa just in front of my room's door and it was too loud and unpleasant in the middle of the night. In case there is a sofa in the salon, a better noise insulation of the rooms should be done since there would be guests who want to use the sofa and others who want to rest in their rooms. Lack of forks and spoons in the kitchen (especially in the morning), but I got a set of single-use fork and knife in the room, which was a nice touch.

    Hotel is really nice, good location close to metro station, nice calm area with shops nearby. The room was clean with a very comfy bed. No window, but that was expected. It had some kind of ventilation, so it was not stuffy in there. There was a big TV, small tables and one chair. I only used the room for sleeping, so was enough for me. Bathrooms were shared with other people, but always clean. There were 3 shower + toilet bathrooms and one just shower. They are always kept open with lights on, so it is easy to understand which one is free. The kitchen was big with 2 full stoves, microwave, kettle and all the necessary amenities available. Each room has a shelf in the fridge assigned, so no mix up of your food and less chance for the food to be taken by others. No direct communication with the staff - on check-in day I got SMS with door code and room number. When I came the room was clean and ready with the key inside. For the 3 nights I stayed, I saw a receptionist only once. A very efficient self-management process :)

    Very scarcely furnished room - a simple wardrobe to hang clothes would not be such a big investment, it's not something that would need constant replacement either -- such as the kitchen items, which were also scarce, but at least there they have an understandable concern that some guests would take some spoons home.

    Bed was comfy, no noise coming from outside.

    The staff were nice but actually we've only met one person once during our stay. We wanted to leave our bags in after checking out and tried to call the reception, but no one was at the desk and no one picked a phone I kept calling for like 40 minutes straight so in the end we had to use luggage storage in the city centre.

    It was clean and the location was good even though you had to travel for like 20 minutes to get to the city centre.

    In some of the common bathrooms handsoap was not refilled in the time of my visit (two nights).

    A budget gem. Very comfortable and cozy room with all needed aminities. Even it is bit far from center Stockholm, from metro it's only short 3 minute walk.

    If you want to sleep well you defenately need earplugs. You will hear all the sounds and noises from outside and also from inside the hotel if not using earplugs.

    Very clean and well organized hotel.
