“Perfect Location for Airport, Transportation and Sightseeing”

If you have an early morning flight from Stockholm airport, there is no better location. Even in pouring rain, it is a short distance across the street to the terminal for the 20-minute Arlanda Express train.

If you are coming in on the ferry from Estonia, it is a block or two away from the city bus #1 drop off.

You can walk easily to the traditional tourist sights.

Such a nice touch to have complimentary coffee/tea and cake in the afternoon.

In room WIFI internet access worked good.

Lots of nice bathroom amenties in the room...lemon grass soaps, body lotions, gels, etc.

Since location was important for our needs, the cost of $225 in very expensive Scandinavia, was a bargain.

Rooms were basic, but ours was large and quiet. We overlooked a nondescript court yard.

“Nice Little Hotel”

Central Hotel

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Amersfoort, The Netherlands
Jul 7, 2008

Got a double room at this hotel, including breakfast, via booking.com for 1250 SEK (125 EUR) per night. In this expensive city that represented excellent value.

The hotel is right opposite the Arlanda Airport Express terminal but not immediately visable. When you come on to the main street, Vasag, directly across the street is a Phone House shop. Cross to that side and turn left. The hotel is about 25m away.

As you enter you come into a small, bright reception/atrium bar area. Check in was efficient and friendly, as were all the staff we dealt with on our stay. We were soon on our way up in the small glass lift to our room.

The room was a decent size, bright and spotlessly clean. Don´t expect a view though, ours was onto some offices. Two single, very comfortable, beds were next to each other, (we´d ordered a double, this was fine). There was a widescreen LCD TV on the wall and a desk with a wall mounted hairdryer by it. The only English language TV channel per se was CNN but there were plenty of English language programes and movies with Swedish subtitles.

We were on a weekend break so it didn´t matter to us but I felt the room as a bit short on hanging space. What it certainly did lack, to my mind, was a room safe.

I really liked the bathroom. Whilst not huge it was big enough. There was a good range of toiletries and the towels were a decent size and not too worn. What particularly sold it for me was the shower (no bath tub). This was one of the large headed ´raindrop´ style ones which also had a separate power hose.

The buffet breakfast was excellent. There was a wide selection of cereals, fruits, cheeses, juices and various kinds of bread. The hot selection was eggs (scrambled or boiled), bacon, mini sausages and meatballs. Unlike may other hotels I have been in the buffet was regularly kept filled. On the occasions we were there nothing was ever missing.

Whilst not a super deluxe hotel, this is a very decent three star property in an excellent location. I´d very happily stay here again.

“It was too expensive”

Central Hotel

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Utrecht
May 26, 2008

I stayed at the central hotel with my partner; we paid 3970 SEK for 2 nights for a 2 persons acommodation. (that's 480,39 euro's!!!) I expected a superdeluxe room for that price, but in fact the room was very basic, small but clean. No bath, just a simple shower.

The location of the hotel is perfect! It's in the centre of Stockholm and everything is on walking distance. Couldn't be better! Staff was friendly and they all speak very good English. Free internet in the lobby and also free tea and coffee with cookies in the afternoon. Breakfast was basic (eggs, bacon, fruit, muesli etc)

I would recommend this place because of the location but I still think I paid too much......maybe it's because Stockholm is a expensive country compared to my country (The Netherlands), ah well!!

“Neat and modern”

Central Hotel

Dec 16, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

This is a good hotel on the "hotel street" of Stockholm, just a few blocks from the railway station. All rooms are located in a specially built annex inside the courtyard so there will be no noise in the rooms. Modern and clean with a very unusual way of placing the showing, like in a cylinder in the middle of the room (but with walls!). You have to check it out to know what I mean.

Free wifi internet is provided, which I think is a must these days (although I have noticed that not all hotels agree with me here :)).

The breakfast room is a bit small. Not a problem for my breakfast at 07:30, but I had the feeling that it could be crowded at times. But the breakfast contents was very good.

The only think I missed on my list of preferable amenities was a minibar or refrigerator.

“great hotel”

I stayed here two nights, both in different rooms. The first night was on the 4th floor and the room was really cold. The next time was on the 2nd floor and it was fine. This hotel is extremely conveniently located; a really cute, clean comfortable hotel with nice staff and a good breakfast. Highly recommended!
