Mornington Hotel Stockholm City

Great Value for Quality of hotel.

I got to the hotel, which is in a very nice upscale area of stockholm. I am from the US but have been traveling through Europe a long time now for work. Usualyl 4 stars in Europe is usually a bit embelished, however in this case it was the truth. Check in was super fast, even though i arrived at midnight everything was smooth. My room was great, modern, and the bathroom was very nice. They have FACE soaps, which are fantastic and super expensive at the store. The bed was super comfortable as well. There were a few things i would say are wrong, first the TV is crap there is like 5 channels, that is no biggie though at all. Second there was no internet, i coudlnt log onto the wireless service to save my life, and i am an IT expert so it wasnt lack of knowledge. The staff let me know they were having problems with internet, but for 5 days??? Lastly breakfast ends a bit early, 10 AM. I got there at 10:30 and there were a few crackers and cheese available but nothing much at all. I also have to give it hands down the nicest and best gym i have been to for a hotel in Europe that isnt a health spa hotel. The gym is fantastic, it has everything you need to workout, even boxing equipment, spa, and sun tanning. Lastly the hotel does seem like its under construction and there seemed stuff not 100% done in the bathroom of the room and all around the hotel. I am a bit of a picky OCD type when it comes to cleanliness and this room was great for me.

Popular hotel, great location in Stockholm’s Ostermalm

We enjoyed our stay at the Mornington. We had lived in the Ostermalm area of Stockholm for a year so this hotel was in our old stomping grounds. When we lived there we didn’t realize how busy this place was. The lobby bar and restaurant were busy each night--weekend breakfasts were very busy. Our room was typical of a European hotel--not huge but nicely appointed and comfortable. The area is perfect, I was working and it was very close to the Ostermalm T-bana station. Our friends lived all around so my wife was walking, shopping and at coffee (fika) with her friends each day. We got a pretty good rate through Expedia so were happy with this as well. All in all it was a good experience.

Best to go April to September. Winters are gray and the nights are long. The city is a picture postcard waiting to be photographed.

Great Hotel, covenient, with a great price

My husband and I visited here in August 2009. We were extreemly happy with this hotel. The reception area was nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived early and the room was ready for check in. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The free breakfast was wonderful. It had lots of cereal, rolls and fresh fruit. The coffee was strong but pentiful. It had other Swedish foods like blueberry soup, cold cuts and bacon that is undercooked by American standards, but there were so many choices, we left with full bellies. The hotel was a short walk to everything. It was all in walking distance of the train station, Gamla Stan, the town hall and even the Vasa. We pruchase a Stockholm Card and used it to save a lot of money. The trollies, subways and buses are very convenient if you get tired of walking. If I had all the money in the world to spend, I would have stayed in Gamla Stan. I don’t, so if I am ever in Stockholm again, I will stay in this wonderful hotel.
