Scandic Sjofartshotellet

The hotel is excellently located on the north side of Södermalm, just a couple of minutes walk from Slussen T-bane and bus stations, and a short walk to the old town (Gamla stan).

When we stayed in July 2005, Scandic were offering cheap pre-paid rates for the summer. When we say cheap, we mean insanely cheap:- SEK450 per double room including breakfast. That is about GBP17 or EUR25 per person!

Staff at the hotel are really friendly, and did their best even though Scandic's reservation system had done strange things with our booking. We had booked a large family room, but the computer system didn't like that so it had moved us to a different room, despite giving us a confirmation.

The room we did get was acceptable, but quite small. However, as the rate was so cheap we weren't going to make a big issue at the time and spoil the end of the holiday. As already mentioned, the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Unique Quality: Roof top terrace bar (7th floor) with great views over Stockholm.

Directions: 3 minute walk from Slussen T-bane station.
