Brillian Brilliant Brilliant, Myself and 3 friends stayed there because of its central location. We were not disappointed lovely hotel and fantastic rooms, staff were very friendly. Drinks in the bar were expensive but that par for the course in Stockholm. If you fancy a few beers and want to see some of the best looking women in the world then this is on your door step. I guess I dont know about the noise because I was enjoying myself in the 'noise' at the time. Food was great in the hotel. I would go back tomorrow!

Location was very good as it was easy walking to most places.
Room was very clean. Breakfast was average with a very limited choice.
Reception staff could be friendlier and were very stand offish. When we asked directions to Skansen they were suddenly dumb and rude. Making us feel silly. No one to help with the luggage and we had to struggle up the outside stairs into the main entrance by ourselves. Check in and out was quick. We got the impression that they felt they were superior to us.
Friendliest people in the hotel were the cleaner and breakfast helper. Hotel was quaint.

The room was really nice. The bed was great- soft and very comfortable. There was no noise that could be heard from the outside. The dogs in the room were really cute. The room was also very clean and always neat and cleaned when we came back to the hotel. Loved the TV and the good choice of TV channels.
There were some drawbacks though. One of them- the shower was flooding on the floor. I had to literally wash the floor after taking the shower. If you like to take long showers- don`t go there!
The other thing we didn`t like, was the breakfast. The choice was really poor. Loved the taste of Swedish pickles, though.
There was also a problem with our VISA card which made us really disappointed with the hotel staff. At first we were told that everything was okay, but when we had to leave the hotel for the plain back home, the two girls at the reception told us that our card is not working, which wasn`t even our fault, but their. The girls didn`t even apologise, even more, it seemed, that they found this situation really funny and amusing. They even didn`t seem to care that we are about to be late for our plane and did everything really slowly. Because of the hotel`s problem with our VISA card, we had to give them all the cash we had. Had no chance to buy anything at the airport because of that.

Everybody knows that Stockholm is an expensive capital city. Therefore to get a hotel centrally-located with fair rates can't be bad. Being situated so centrally can have it's disadvantages, though, and the fact that the hotel supplies rooms with ear plugs rather gives the game away! At weekends, if you are on a lower floor room, revellers outside can be noisy.
Swings and roundabouts, though. The lovely waterfront is 10 minutes away, the nearest metro station, with a supermarket, is 5 minutes away, and there is plenty of choice of shops and restaurants within 2 minutes - during my July visit the hotes restaurant was closed, and only snacks were served.
A slow, rickety lift serves all floors, and bedrooms were adequate rather than substantial. I did like the hotel having a coffee urn available all day - help yourself.
Outside is a pleasant veranda with seats for smokers and drinkers, though at Stockholm prices you may want to make your drink last. Never mind, 100m up the road is an English pub, the Spitfire, with a happy hour!
Reception was helpful and courteous, and overall the hotel, which does cater for groups, had a pleasant atmosphere - and a decent breakfast.

Disappointed

Main reason for booking this hotel was its location. Stureplan area is really nice and it is a walking distance away from pretty much anything worth seeing in Stockholm.

I stayed in a standard guest room (single) for one night in June. The room itself was clean. That is pretty much the only good thing I can say about it.

There was no minibar, no iron (nor board) in the room. I can live without them, but air-conditioning would have been nice. As it turned out, only business rooms have air-conditioning. They don’t have minibars either. Upon arrival I noticed that the hotel provided earplugs in room - in case the noise from the street bothers you. I don’t think that is a positive thing about a hotel, although the gesture was probably tended as such. TV was small.

The bathroom was rather small as well and there weren’t any extra glasses there. There was only one glass for you to drink water or to use while brushing your teeth etc. Cost savings??

All in all, the hotel was a disappointment. There are few hotels around this area and next time I will definitely stay in one of them. Rooms in Elite Plaza hotel are small as well, but at least they are better equipped.
