Spent a week at this hotel and almost thoroughly enjoyed it. It's located in the heart of Sodermalm, the 'cool' part of Stockholm, across from a huge square with restaurants, pubs, coffeehouses, nightclubs, a cinema and a great selection of fast food joints (those my family and I tried were quite good -- and very economical for this expensive city). The adjoining streets are packed with more restaurants, pubs and coffeehouses -- along with a great selection of shops, ranging from H&M to upscale antiques with lots of boutiques and design stores thrown in.
The hotel literally sits atop a Tunnelbannen (subway, underground, Metro, or what have you) station, so the upscale and antique parts of Stockholm -- and all of its museums and downtown shopping -- are within really easy reach. We were constantly on the go.
We got a great deal on two twin rooms through Expedia. The accomodations were Swedishly small, but comfortable, aestehtically designed and well cared for. The bathroom was also small, but clean -- and everything worked. The buffet breakfast was copious, varied and tasty, though the coffee could stand more beans and more brewing.
The only thing I can find to criticize about the hotel is its 3 ridiculously small elevators. Sometimes it can take a while to find one with room -- and when they're full, the situation becomes quite intimate. But, everyone related to the situation with good humor.
We were very happy with this place. It was a terrific base from which to explore Stockholm and its surroundings.
