ApartHotel Telefonplan

Getting to the city centre takes about 30 minutes by train. The room itself was modern and had a little kitchen with a small oven, fridge and sink, though no stove. I had no complaints and was happy with the hotel.

I picked this hotel while deciding whether to buy an apartment, and the room itself was cool, with a great mezzanine layout on one of the top floors. But the cleanliness really put me off: there was dust in almost every corner and a broken balloon beside the bed. Reception staff weren’t very friendly either, so after checking in I didn’t feel like asking them anything. Next time I’m in Stockholm, I’ll stay somewhere more central.

We paid 100 EUR for a night for two, which is expensive, but Stockholm is expensive too. The place felt worth the price: free parking, a free gym, and free bikes. We used two of their three bikes for two days straight, and the city centre is 8.5 km away by bike. There’s also a fast elevator, comfy beds with plenty of blankets, towels, and soap for hands and hair. WiFi reached 2MB/s when downloading an mkv file, with no annoying sign-ins. The room had a fridge and a microwave, sink and utensils for making a quick meal, though breakfast at 13 EUR was too much for us. The sauna is included, but it takes exactly an hour to warm from 18 to 82 degrees, despite the message saying 10-15 minutes.

The kitchenette had everything we needed, and the room was clean and comfortable. Staff were nice and check-in and checkout were quick. There are supermarkets by both nearest metro stations, open until 11 pm. Great location, definitely recommended.
