Stora Vartan Hotels from $85

Located outside the central city area the setting of the hotel is picturesque. The hotel restaurant overlooks a lake and has stunning 360 views. Rooms are clean and hotel staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Close to transportation to the city and a large shopping mall.

Checking into the hotel after hours was easy. The room was nicely appointed and we especially like the flooring and wood furnishings. We are vegans and the wonderful breakfast included an excellent selection of food for most tastes. Frankly there were more vegan food choices than we've experienced in any hotel, with gluten free options too. Mark was a most helpful and delightful. We would definitely stay here again. The hotel is an easy 15 minute walk to the metro station so getting into Stockholm was very convenient. We were able to leave our car in the parking lot on our departure date prior to our evening departure on the Viking ferry to Turku. We highly recommend this hotel.

Very good hotel. Staff and facilities excellent. We really enjoyed our stay. Make sure you get the SL travel card which works out much cheaper and includes bus 593 to and from airport which stops close to the hotel.

Scandic Foresta is on Lidingo, one of the islands of Stockholm right next to central Stockholm. It has some nice sites of its own. Our room was clean and nice with a roomy bathroom. There were five of us, so that was a tight fit for the room itself. Nevertheless, the beds are comfortable, and the breakfast is really good. The dining room had a fascinating view of the channel with all of its cruise ships arriving, so I assume some of the rooms also have this view (ours did not, but that is OK). The staff is very friendly, and the rate seemed quite reasonable for the location and quality. We enjoyed our stay and wished it had been longer.

I booked this room after being successful in the ballot for a Europa League final ticket. Fortunately it was because the finalists were known so it wasn't too expensive. It is close to the Stockholm metro stop (Danderdys sykhus) which was important to me - something I could check out beforehand so you already knew that! The room I stayed in was on the 7th floor, directly opposite the lift. I only heard a few people come and go so wasn't massively disturbed. The receptionists at check-in and check-out were friendly and answered the few questions I had. My room included breakfast but I left before it was served. The metro starts at 5am and I wanted to make the most of my visit to Stockholm. Room was clean, shower was powerful and bed was comfy. Not much to add in that respect. I've never experienced a stay in a hotel like this before, the room formed part of the hospital accommodation and when I got back to the reception after the match there was a lady in a wheelchair with a new born baby - the father was checking into his room. I didn't speak to them, but congratulations!! Will definitely book this "hotel" again in future.

This hotel was 10 minutes on the train from Stockholm. Nothing to do in immediate vicinity. If you wanted to go out in town in the evening, trains are frequent back from town. Bus from airport will also take you to hotel so even if it feels like the middle of nowhere your well connected. Breakfast was great, although it would have been nice to have the occasional banana, that said I didn't go hungry, and didn't eat the same thing twice during my stay. Bedroom was basic but I think it was the budget choice, I suspect there were fancier options. Clean warm and working shower what more can you ask for? Would probably pick a hotel in centre though were I to go again just to save on travel fare.

Not luxurious, but adequate for short stay. That is all I have to say
