"Me and my partner love staying in Vasastan when we’re in Stockholm, so naturally we loved the location. We upgraded our room to one of the newly renovated ones and it was totally worth it. Loved the bathroom tiling and the bed and pillows were soooo comfy. My fiancée even contemplated emailing Elite to ask where the pillows are from so we can buy the same ones for home. Breakfast buffe is really good, pretty standard for Swedish hotels I’d say. Can’t fault them on anything really."

10/10 Excellent
"Ideal location beside a Metro Station, with all the amenities expected of a hotel of its rating. Friendly and helpful staff. Extensive choice at breakfast, although it does get busy around 8.00am. Mini bar seemed to consist of a small bottle of wine and a packet of crisps - these are not complimentary. Rooms are on the small side, but clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel for short breaks in Stockholm."
