by Manara The Grand is where I was accommodated on my first visit to Stockholm. The hotel is historic, and rated as the best in town. It is also famous because the people awarded the Nobel prize are accommodated here. I confirm that the location is great, the rooms are comfortable and the breakfasts in the veranda are a pleasure, but there were also some disappointments, that I probably felt more strongly because of the reputation of this hotel
First of all, there is a drawback in staying in a historic building: it is impossible to add more elevators, so you may have to walk a long way from you room to the elevator, and then you may have to wait a long time. The most disappointing thing, however, was at the check-out. I had made two telephone calls but I was billed five. The person at the counter was adamant that their telephone system was computer controlled and that there could not be any mistake. In such cases, what I would normally do is ask to speak with the manager, but I had to go to a meeting, and the people I had to meet were already waiting for me in the lobby, so I preferred not to waste their time and paid. This is why I feel disappointed with the Grand. Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensivePhone: 08-6793500Directions: In Blasieholmen, central Stockholm

 Grand Hotel by Astralka It has a great location in the centre of the town. I prefere to stay outside of these hotels, so it is up to you to try it. When you are there, definitely cross the bridge to Skeppsholmen beautiful island with several museums (museum of modern art (free of charge), architecture, asiatic museum) and fantastic views of Stockhom panorama.

 an all-star cast by yooperprof If you are really Grand, (and if you have an expense account), you probably want to stay at the Grand Hotel. This is where Greta Garbo stayed on her return visits to Stockholm, after she became a Hollywood star and glamour queen of the world. Needless to say, I didn't stay at the Grand, but I did look in at the lobby, to get a sense of how the upper crust lives.
