Stora Essingen Vacations from $1,215

Staff super friendly and attentive. Could benefit from a dedicated bar area. Breakfast very good and restaurant food nice too. Plentiful parking. Bus service directly outside hotel into main areas around Stockholm although only a ten minute walk into centre. Overall very pleasant stay.

I booked the double loft room which was cosy but functional. There was not much space to move around but had a comfy bed and nice shower. Sadly there was no desk in the room as it was quite small and there were no real facilities to work from when downstairs (there is a restaurant on the ground floor). The staff did allow me to work from a high table near the entryway but it really was not suitable. There are other establishments nearby that you can work from (cafe / restaurants) and it was nice area to explore. The staff were lovely, very courteous and accommodating. The food was nice and the atmosphere in the restaurant was vibrant and interesting as a solo traveller. I think if you are travelling for work you would need to book a much bigger room but as a tourist it is a lovely quaint hotel in a great part of Stockholm.

The basic rooms are super small. The lighting in the room was horrible. The bathroom was rather nice, with heated floors. The breakfast was wonderful, great selection, fresh food, and very nice servers.

Location is perfect if you looking downtown or old town. It has an elevator by that door to the train station. Nice and well decorated room. Old but charming and well maintained elevators. Good breakfast. Great value.
