Great new hotel within walking distance of the centre/attractions etc.
I was a little concerned at first that this was slightly north of the centre, but a 20minute walk can get you almost anywhere and if that fails, the T-Bana (underground) is only £1.60. Nearest station is OdenPlan (three stops on the green line from Central).
The room was very large and well decorated - modern clean lines, with a great black marble bathroom with power shower. It also had personal heating controls and a large plasma screen TV with around 18 channels, including several English language stations.
As always in Europe it seems, the bed was two twins pushed together, not a double. However, was very comfortable. There are no extra bits in room eg: coffee/tea maker; however, this can be requested free of charge.
There is wi-fi available throughout the hotel free of charge and a couple of computers in the lobby. There was also a free sauna downstairs, but I didn't get around to trying it.
The breakfast was very good. Hot bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs and toast, alongside cold meats, cheeses, rolls etc.
The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. (The only problem with this is that they're so friendly we had to wait at reception for ages, while they nattered to the people in front us.) But they were always willing to help and give advice on restaurants/attractions etc.
There were several nice restaurants within walking 5-10mins walk, including a pizzeria and an excellent European restaurant (steak, risotto etc.) called 'Vimmel' - the chocolate souffle was amazing. (Both located on the road running south from hotel)
The food everywhere was expensive, as expected, with main courses about £14 and a bottle of wine £24+. Also, some restaurants didn't include the 25% tax/service change in the prices. However, the food and service everywhere was excellent.
Entry to all the tourist attractions was cheap though...mostly hovering around the £4 mark. Skansen was particularly good...especially the "ever popular elk".
