“Group trip”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

I stayed in this hotel with a group of 30 people, all stayed in double room.
We said that we where going arrive at 13h00 and they said that was ok, but when we arrived there they still didn't have the room ready for us, so we hat to leave the baggage’s in the hotel and went to eat in a restaurant nearby, finally at 15h00, we got our keys, we arrive to the room and it looks ok, lots of space, but the bathroom was the worst thin i ever seen, when we took a bath the water went all over the floor, some tube problems, we took hours to take a bath because of the low quantity of water.
The breakfast was another problem; we almost didn’t have a table to eat, since the size of the room is not enough for all the guests in the hotel
The elevators was another problem, we had to wait a long time to get one, and the fist time I try to use the stairs I didn’t found the exit to the reception area, it was very confusing

“Okey hotel but nothing more”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

Good location of the hotel. I got a rather large room but the heating system did´nt work - it was very hot in the room and because of that, not easy to sleep. Okey breakfast but I was up early - guess it can be crowded later on in the mornings. All together a "basic" hotel that did´nt make any special impression.

“Nice hotel, but nothing special”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011 via mobile

This hotel is OK, but in this price range you could find much better hotels in Stockholm.

The location is good, close to buses, metro, but the neighbourhood is a bit dull. The room was a bit small and the bathroom tiles could use a good cleanup. The lobby and breakfast area was nice but a bit dark. Breakfast was good.

“Not worth it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

This hotel is situated about 10 minutes walks from the central bus station, that is good. The nearest metrostation is just beside the entrance, that is also good. That was the positive things, here comes the negative. Staff were inexperienced, it took very long to check in and also to check out. The room was ok, but not more, and we payed for a superior room. The safetybox didn't work, and no one managed to solve the problem! That's real bad. The elevators were underdimensioned, we used the stairs some times. The breakfast room didn't have space enough for all guests, we had to sit in the reception and eat. That was really bad. I cannot recommend this hotel, I will never stay here again.

person found this review helpful

Negative: Worn down room and uncomfortable bed. Definitely not four-star in my opinion. Breakfast buffe nice, but packed with people and not organized properly.

Positive: Good location next to a tube-station. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast.

Would not stay here again.
