Me and my husband visited Stockholm in July. The weather was good, the hotel was super.
It is not situated in the citycenter but just outside near the water and it has a great view over Stockholm. Take the subway and you are in the citycentre within a few minutes.
Very nice decorated rooms and a fine restaurant, a hotspot in Stockholm.
We made the booking thru Unique Small Hotels, got a good rate and instant confirmation.
I think Stockholm is a great city to visit the whole year, but June and July are the best months.

Bad Experience. The hotel is far from the city center and difficutlt to get to by public transportation. Using a taxi is a fortune, so better off staying at a nice hotel in the city. The hotel is old (1912) and furnished with Ikea-like furnishings. The hallways squeek and you hear them in ther room. The first room they put us in had a broken safe, they moved us into a smaller room, no apologies offered, we had to unpack and pack twice. The mini fridge door was broken, so I suffered a minor cut on my middle finger. The breakfast is ok but they run out of items by 9 AM. The staff is nice but unknowledgable, for example, they did not know what the weather was supposed to be like the next day, another one send us to the city to change money (they dont change in the hotel) but when we got there it was closed-- 3 hours wasted. The rooms are fairly clean but dont take the stairs, which are very dirty. The doors to the room are difficult to open, and there is a dangerous step leading into the room. The air-conditiong did not work, the windows don't have screen, so bring insect propellant during summer time. Overall: It's a step above a Youth Hostel but Overpiriced. Recommend for older people but be able to walk a lot.

I live on the hill above the hotel a few hundred meters from it but still my girlfriend and I love to stay at Hotel J on occasions and all the positive things has already been mentioned by other reviewers.

So why am I writing then? - bear with me I'm going to share some tips that might make your stay more enjoyable.

First of all - Its not a business park the nature was there before and then some companies decided to park there, just above the hotel there are hundreds of families living but you cant see them for the trees:)

2) - Eating, while Restaurant J is a good place for food and drinks (during summertime it gets filled with people dating and having few drinks with friends) there are some other places too
Tornvillan which is the nice house with the tower just next to the hotel - SPLENDID food although it is not always open - reservations recommended. Love it a lot!!
Then if you walk up the bus stop you can buy nice sallads and sandwiches, cakes and assorted tasty things from Birgittas cafe.
There is a small green house that is open during lunch and so are four five other restaurants around the bus stop area. But most of them closes during summer.
I really do not want to tell this but there is a McDonalds just next to the tunnel to nacka strand.

3) - local shops
If you walk the road for a few hundred meters you will find a bus stop and Birgittas cafe where you can byu nice sallads and sandwiches, cakes and assorted tasty things.
There is a small convience store next to the flower shop too.
If you need to get to a pharmacy or need wider selection of items you have Nacka Forum which is 15 minutes walk from the bus stop go through the small tunnel and over the bridge towards the highest building and there you are. 85 shops! Sushi and more.

There is a small ICA open till 21.00 each day up at jarlaberg (highest point in the neighbourhood) it will take you around 15minutes to get there since the whole walk is uphill with a lot of stairs.

There is a large ICA Maxi which is open til 22.00 each day in case of an emergency.


4) - relaxing and swimming
The easiest way is to take the boat to fjäderholmarna and eat ice cream at Systrarna Degens (HUGE portions - at least in sweden medium in USA )
Eat some salmon and other seafood - I love it and some things you cant get outside of sweden.
The relax on the cliffs and jump into the water if it gets too hot

If you are up for walking a bit or you have a car take your kids to Nyckelviken where they can pet animals and swim. It's a naturepark with animals, greenhouses and a cafe

5) Working out on your vacation
While staying at Hotel J - just don your trainers and jog slowly to restaurant J then breath deeply since your about to start a very challenging course.

Rolfs uphill running course

1) Run up the stairs you see if your back is turned towards restaurant J

2) When you are up, find another set of stairs located 11.00 o'clock (much shorter) walk or jog to them and the run up.

3) Now you feel cocky since you have conquered 2 stairs and think it cant get worse - WRONG! Turn your head a little to the left you see a building and stairs going up on the left side of the building. Now walk or jog to them and then run up the stairs. Run up as many stairs you can see (there are quite a lot of them)

4) Now for the easy part, now you are in an area with buildings around you - turn left and follow a walkpath to a small road (jog or run) on the road follow it to the right until you see stairs going up on the other side of the road next to a kindergarten.

5) Run, really run fast up these stairs.

6) You will come to a bend in a road follow the road in the direction you exited the stairs. You will run straight on the road for 100-150 meters then the road ends and there you will follow the walkpath for 200meters till you see another set of stairs at 11.00 o'clock

7) Take heart since these are the last stairs for this run.
Just make sure that you dont get hit by a bus when you pass the bus-road (this is the location of the Jarlaberg ICA as well)

8) Jump up and down like Rocky - YOU DID IT

9) Go back the same way or meander your own way back

alternative endings
A) Repeat it all untill you can do it in less than 6minutes
B) go down the last stairs and turn right and run down to nyckelviken for a nice run in the nature its about 1-2 km down and equally much back.
C) Go down to your starting location and run along the waters edge you will come to stairs going up to an area with houses just run the main road and you will end up at the Tunnel to Nacka sstrand with McDonalds on your right side. Just take the tunnel back to nacka strand and the hotel (follow the road downwards)

On leaving the hotel, our first thoughts were "when can we come back?"

The bedroom was stylish, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was of high quality and presented in very pleasant surroundings - either in the breakfast room or, if you wished, out on the lawn facing the Baltic sea. The view from the bedroom balcony was magnificent. The staff were friendly and efficient.

The potential drawback of the hotel is not its location - the location is part of the hotel's attraction - but rather getting to and from that location. If you do a little research you will find that the 433 bus travels from Nacka Strand to Slussen (near Gamla Stan) every 30 minutes until late and the 71 bus travels all the way into the centre of Stockholm, though it is not very frequent. It is, however, far better to take the delightful 15 minute ferry journey from near the hotel to Strandvagen. The ferry runs from the end of April to mid September every 30 minutes at 5 past and 35 minutes past the hour and returns from Strandvagen on the hour or half hour.

On a couple of occasions we actually cut short our time in the city centre just to allow more time to sit out on the lawns, while reading a book and drinking a glass of wine. We did, of course, record our glasses of wine on their "honesty" sheet!
