This was the first time I've stayed at the Nordic Light Hotel, and I was disappointed. The single room was very small and cramped, with a wardrobe only five inches deep (enough to hang two items max horizontally, and not deep enough to unpack any clothes on the shelf). Breakfast was served in the large open plan entrance area adjacent to the reception and bar and although the choice and quality of breakfast was ok, the staff were only there to clear away and replenish breakfast items, not to serve you at the table or explain the options. I couldn't get a cup of coffee and the tables were unlaid and all were not wiped clean from previous guests. Finally, although very clean and tidy, the room was tired and in need of refurbishment. Overall, the design of the hotel is pleasing, but they need to apply the effort they've put into the reception into the rooms and service.

Stayed in the Nordic Light Hotel with my girlfriend for a weekend away and was extremely happy with the whole experience. The location is excellent - we traveled in from Arlanda airport via the express train, and the Light Hotel is literally 20 seconds walk from the station exit. Old town, all the main museums and attractions were a pleasant 20 minute walk away, and there are loads of shops and restaurants nearby (including the Stockholm Ice Bar, which is just across the road). There's even a departure board for the express train back to the airport in the reception area of the hotel. The staff were extremely helpful on check in, and after discovering it was our first trip to Stockholm provided us with several maps and suggestions for things to do during our stay.

The hotel itself is modern and funky with loads of little random art pieces in the halls onto the way to the room; nothing like the standard bland business hotels I've stayed in before. Our room was extremely clean and sleek, including free wi-fi, a great TV and a really comfortable bed. The changeable lights in the room are a fun distraction but not really used after the first night. The lobby area was an attraction in itself - both nights had some amazing DJ's and light shows going on, and was an excellent place to have a drink after a full day's exploring.

The only downside is that it's slightly expensive for what you get with room prices that are slightly high, and expensive drinks/food in the bar area, but this is characteristic of Stockholm as a whole - it's not a cheap city. We wanted a stress free and enjoyable experience and that's exactly what we got here. Had a great trip and would definitely go back. Recommended.

Stayed in June during the Summerburst festival. First the hotel is about 20 yards from the Arlanda Express (which is the best way to and from Arlanda airport). Walking into the lobby, the hotel is very contemporary and the front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The room was VERY small, but clean and comfortable with cool lighting effects. Breakfast was very good and everything was within walking distance. Stockholm is a beautiful city with beautiful people and the Nordic Light Hotel was a good place to stay.

The hotel prides itself on its trendy lounge area which is apparently redecorated every few months with a new theme. Those funds would certainly be better directed towards upkeep of the rooms however. Our shower cabin was far from water tight, leaving the floor soaked after each use. The furniture in the rooms was cheap and somewhat rundown. The staff is extremely disorganized as well. We were initially sent up to a room that had not been made and appeared to have been freshly used. We went back down to the desk to see why we had been given a dirty room and the staff looked confused. The two front desk employees didn't realize that my boyfriend understood Swedish so they spoke openly to one another about what a screw up one of the maids was, which led us to believe that this kind of thing happens frequently. It struck me as unprofessional on all levels: the lack of communication between the different sectors, the sending us up to an unmade room, and the gossiping about a fellow employee in front of guests.
