Pros: the hotel suited for my purposes very well. I stayed in a very quiet corner room in the 9th floor, the room did not have any neighbors and I could not even hear the lift "bling". Good breakfast. It also had quite good jogging routes nearby.

Cons: the room temperature was quite hot.

Nothing good to say about this hotel. My room was on a floor that was being refurbished, so there was bare concrete in the corridor and lift areas. I waited 1 hour to get a meal in the restaurant and I am still waiting for the second beer I ordered. The rooms are dull and very noisy, I enjoyed the sound from the TV set in the next room most of the evening and first thing in the morning. (the walls are very thin!)
And to top it all it cost around €180.
I am not picky about hotels, but this is one of the worst I have stayed in. I would not recommend it to anyone.

The one and only drawback about this hotel is it is outside of Stockholm centre and the walk to the station is a little dodgy. We have two seven year olds and we did it fine in about ten minutes everyday. You have the option of walking along a main road or through a forest. However, the a strip of tickets into the centre is so cheap that it is worth it and the kids are free on the transport at the weekend.

I booked direct with the hotel and got a fantastic rate of around 500 kroners a nights so it was a bargain for a family of four. The room was a little on the small side with two beds and bunk beds for the kids but it was clean. Since most swedish television is subtitled the girls enjoyed all their disney programmes in English.

The breakfast was superb, lots of choice, plenty of places to sit, very high standard of food and drinks.

I would recommed people bring swimwear which we forgot to do so we didn´t get he chance to use the jacuzzi/pool facility which is free for guests.

We ate in the hotel restaurant everynight which was handy after a long day sightseeing with kids. The menu was great, with a kids menu too and the prices were reasonable, it was never more than 600 kroners for the four of us.

The hotel staff in the reception and the restaurant were friendly, helpful and polite.

We would definitely stay here again. We loved Stockholm and the girls loved Junnibacken and the Vasa was absolutely awe inspiring.

I spent one night at the Scandic Jarva Krog on a business trip.

Location:
Outskirts, directly at the motorway. Easy to get here by car, terrible views though.
I had some time and went with the tram, indeed 8min walk from Ulriksdal station; not really nice, lots of construction, would not want to do this with a lot of luggage.

Rooms:
No frills, reminded me of IKEA. Looks good on the first glance, but on the second glance you get the feeling that everything feels "cheap". Bed too soft for me.
Internet access (wireless) was free, fast and stable, which is a big plus for me. Bathroom clean. You can hear the cars from the motorway as well as noise from the corridor.

Public Areas:
24h store in the lobby provides a good choice for reasonable prices. Bar is nice. Breakfast was good (free), again, it reminded me of an IKEA restaurant. Single PC with printer available for free - good.

Staff:
Overall absolutely OK, no issues.

Other:
They overdo it a little bit with environmental protection. Only one small and one large towel in the bathroom (as others mentioned, you would need a 3rd one to clean up the mess after showering). Heating not sufficient - it was cold in the room. Ridiculous waste separation in the rooms dustbin. Not a big issue (apart from the heating), but slightly annoying.

Summary:
This is a place for business travellers only - I would never recommend it for leisure travellers. However, if you need to stay in the area on a business trip and a no-frills place is fine for you, it is OK, especially if things like free internet & breakfast are important for you.
