Scandic Arlandastad

Handy for a night before, between, or after a late flight, and that's about all it's good for. The rooms could be cleaner, and some smell. The restaurant is fine if you just want a burger or something.

The gym is really well equipped, and downstairs there’s a sauna that’s a little big, though five or six people can still fit in it. Breakfast starts at 3.45 in the morning, which I’ve honestly never seen before and is great when you need to get to the airport early the next day. You can have lunch or dinner at the hotel restaurant, though the menu isn’t very long. There’s also ping pong and table football by the restaurant, which I thought was cool. A great, modern hotel for getting to the airport quickly from Stockholm, definitely recommend it.

That bed was so cosy I didn't want to get up. My son wasn't as happy with the sofa, though. Breakfast was even better than we expected, and we liked everything else too. It's a convenient, comfortable, quiet place for a night between flights, or perhaps a longer stay if you're driving or on a business trip. The location works if you need to be near the airport, but getting into Stockholm could be tricky since public transport is quite far away. We managed anyway.

The airport shuttle was punctual, and the driver was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and spacious, and the breakfast buffet had lots of choice, so it felt like good value. I was disappointed by how indifferent the staff were, though. I was alone with quite a lot of luggage, and four staff members were there with no other customers to look after, but nobody offered to help. The restaurant gets busy in the evening. Even with a very nice, attentive bartender and restaurant staff, I waited well over an hour for a simple burger.
