I'll go through the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good was that the hotel is across the street from the train station, T-Centralen, with direct subway access next door to the building and close access to the Arlanda Express Train to the airport, making this convenient to get in/out of Stockholm. The location is excellent for shopping and walking to Gamla Stan. You are across the street from a major department store Åhlens (similar to Macy's) and the pedestrian shopping street Drottningatan. Several eateries are a short walk. Even though it's a busy area, it was quite well sound-insulated. The breakfast buffet is both huge and varied including English/American breakfast with eggs and bacon (and even Swedish meatballs!) and the Nordic style (sandwiches) with plenty of fresh fruit, yogurt, and veggies, but this is typical of Swedish hotels. The bad is that the room decor isn't very pleasant since the trend seems to be dark grey walls and a dreary color scheme. Also the beds were NOT comfortable, they were lumpy and firm. Since it was July, it was unusually warm, and the thermostat didn't really give good A/C. Apparently, most agreed because all the fans were taken. Another little complaint was the non-existent plastic bags in the waste bins. There was 1 tiny one in the corner of the room. I understand that they're trying to be eco-friendly, but it didn't feel so sanitary as our trash piled up.
