“Great location-very good property”

Central Hotel is reasonably priced in Stockhom. It is close to Central Station. Wlak out of the Main entrance of the station, cross the street and hang a left for 3 or 4 minutes. It is very close to the pedestrain mall (walk out of hotel and turn left at first alleyway) Many of the bars and cclubs are also located close by. The rooms are nice and clean and hotle is good. The breakfast is very good as well, and staff is quite friendly. The airport train is just across the street from the hotle. Walk left outside and cross at the light. Good place to hang out and good central location

“A good hotel in a great location.”

If you are looking for a hotel in Stockholm centre and for a reasonable price, then this may be the hotel for you, though you may wish to use a hotel search website as it worked cheaper that way for me.

The hotel is 5 minutes from the T-Central tube station and Central Station, where there are many buses and trains. It is also 2 minutes away from the Arlanda Airport Express Train stop, so perfect if you do not want to struggle with luggage on buses and trains or for a long walk.

It is also around seven minutes from Tourist information and 15 from Gamla Stan, the Old town, where there are many more restaurants and visitor attractions in addition to the ones in the centre. There are also many bus stops for the hop on and off bus tours, including one right opposite the entrance. The Ice Bar is a few minutes away also.

The check in procedure was very straight forward with no complications, with the receptionist giving me all the information I required.

My room was on the second floor, and there are both stairs and a lift to get there.

The room was not the biggest, but I knew this from other reviews and the fact that it is normal for Sweden (I believe). It was big enough though, and very clean.

The bed was comfortable enough and the walk in shower was good also.

It was cleaned every day, very well.

The only minor things that could be improved is the main curtain could be thicker. It is almost a backing curtain, with the main curtains over and above it, but they do not close fully. Also, a little more sound proof from outside noise would be a bonus. Both are minor though. I still slept fine, it did not disrupt me, but may others, slightly.

The hotel has free wi-fi, which works as good as any other I have used, including ones I have paid for, and there is free use of a PC at reception, where there is also free coffee, biscuits and fruit.

Breakfast is good, with a buffet breakfast of UK/US style or Continental, or both if you want.

I just grabbed a table and helped myself, as there appeared to be no one in to welcome you or check you are a resident, which did seem odd. Not a problem though. I always got a seat and plenty food to choose from.

If I was to go back to Stockholm, based on the prices of hotels in the same area, I probably would go back there. It is clean, comfortable and pleasant and I enjoyed my stay there.

Room Tip: I was happy with my room.

“Very near to central station”

I´ve stayed this hotel in the end of june for 4 nights and i rent an individual room. The room was very small but cozy and silente. The breakfast was good and the hotel staff were friendly. The hotel has free wiFi, what was very good because i was in business. The hotel is in the center of the city, just in front of Arlanda express (train that comes directly from the airport) and 1 min away from the central station, were we can pick a bus, a train or metro to everywhere.
I found this hotel very useful because it central location.

“I liked it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2011

I got off the train, amazed at how much I had just paid for a short journey, turned due left at the front of it (without walking into the main station) ,came out on to the street and saw the sign for the hotel. It was midnight, so this was very good.

Friendly welcome, unusual shaped room as there is a circular courtyard, but the room was comfortable and a fair size. Breakfast was very good. Most places were an easy walk from here and I would have no hesitation in recommending it or staying here again.

One criticism would be the lack of light blocking curtains,not ideal when its midsummer and you're just short of the arctic circle.

“Excellent location, comfortable bed, good breakfast”

The Central Hotel is only a five minute walk from the city terminal of the airport train, a ten minute walk from the central railway station, and a fifteen minute walk from Gamlastan, the touristic center of the city. The room was compact but adequate and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The front desk staff was helpful with recommendations for dining.
