Stayed at the above hotel for 6 nights in October , only arrived at the hotel just before midnight , due to ` bad flights - stopover in Paris ` , From the Arlanda Airport in Stockholm , took the express train to Central station , then on the underground ( look out for the T sign ) , one stop to " Ostermalmstorg " , and exitted at stureplan , from there it was a short walk ( about 5 mins ) to the hotel , which is straight ahead.
As usual ! , I was a single traveller , i had requested a ` smoking room ` , yet the hotel is totally non-smoking , which i feared may be a problem , but turned out fine , as you had free and easy access in and out the hotel , ie , you didn`t have to keep ringing a bell etc to get in
The room was very clean , smart , and small ! , but more than adequate for my needs - I only had 2 bags of luggage - but there was enough space to store everything away.. Pleased to see there was a kettle in the room with complementary tea and coffee - which is a nice touch , I stayed in room 110 , which is at the front of the hotel
The bed indeed did have a ` wraparound ` which at first i thought was strange , but worked ! , the bed was very soft and cosy , and although i`m 6`2" , still did the job , also the cleaning staff were excellent , and were more than happy to help
The bathroom was fine , plentiful towels etc , handwash / shower gel provided / it was spotlessy cleaned , and as for ` hot water ` , i never had a problem with that
The Breakfasts were superb ! , there was so much to choose from , and the staff there were constantly ` on the go` , clearing used plates etc away , replenshing the stocks of food , it was a pleasure to go there each morning !
As for the other Staff in the hotel , well i suppose i`m leaving the best to last , each one was so helpful ! , usually in hotels , there is someone who , you are kinda praying isn`t on the desk , so you can avoid them , yet they were all so helpful in suggesting shops , which would be suited for me - ( in my case it was to buy records and cd`s )! ( if you are looking for vinyl / records - go to ` St Eriksplan ` , there are around 7 record shops all along that street )
About the Swedes in general - they all speak excellent english , and seem more than happy to help , which for me was a lifesafer !
Forget to mention , the hotel also has internet access in the lobby , which more often than not , was available to use , so that was nice too
The only minor / bad point was on the Friday / Saturday night , it was harder to fall asleep due to the noise from the street below , it wasn`t that bad , but it`s only fair to point it out , of course if you`re staying in any city , you should expect that ! , The hotel itself is in an excellent position , the nearness of the underground , meaning of course you can get anywhere , also just up the road from the hotel is a 7 11 shop , which is handy for snacks etc
Without doubt i would stay there again - i`d be daft not too , Again it`s one of ` those ` hotels you don`t want people to hear / get to know ` too well ` , for fear of not being able to get a room there again !!!
