Navekvarn Vacations from $834

My family of four loved our stay at The Grand Residence. The apartment was clean and well appointed with everything you need to enjoy Stockholm. It has modern, yet comfortable, Swedish furnishings. The beds are very comfortable and we slept wonderfully. Blackout curtains made sure our rooms were dark at night (in the spring, it is daylight from 3am to 11pm every day). The neighborhood is residential and quiet, but at the same time walkable to restaurants, shopping and tourist sites.We would definitely stay again.

While the location was good (close to old town and our business event) and the bed was comfortable, we would not stay here again. We were put on the 3rd floor without any notice. It is 3 flights of narrow circular stone steps with no elevator. I imagine this would be a nightmare for anyone with kids or a lot of luggage. Some forewarning would have been appreciated, and an option to be on a lower floor. There was no contact from the hosts other than to tell us about a smoke alarm test and to take out the trash and recycling (they didn't offer any recycling and required us to drop it off premises). This is not a "hotel", there are no hosts on site and no easy way to get a hold of anyone for questions. It is located in a strange alleyway next to the Hilton and the instructions to get in are confusing and complicated. It was extremely noisy at times. The layout is strange and the floor is uneven (a little dangerous, especially in the dark). Furniture was impractical and cheap. It did not feel that clean or well upkept. No extra amenities; it felt like a hostel with no service. I get this is an old building but it could have been remodeled more effectively and tastefully. I recommend staying somewhere else.
