As others have reported, the hotel is ideally located centrally just a 5 -10 minute walk from the station, the Old Town and the Nybroplan ferry terminal.

I found the staff to be helpful, friendly and efficient. Before arriving my communications were promptly replied to. I requested a quiet room on the top floor and got it.

The room itself was spotlessly clean but somewhat old fashioned with an antiquated air conditioning system , cheap chipboard wardrobe which was on the small side, a small bathroom and a shower which was only adequate. However the bed was comfortable and the room was certainly very quiet which made up for its inadequacies. So although the room is more 2 star, the rest of the hotel - the lobby/ breakfast area and the quality of the breakfast
(lots of choice , efficiently managed and plenty of seating room) probably is 4 star. I would definitely stay there again for the location, the breakfast and the overall value for money (Stockholm hotels are expensive!).

We had a great time on our weekend there and, as well as the usual tourist trail of the Old Town, would recommend the smorgasbord at the Grand Hotel – on the pricey side but still reasonable value, taking in the sights and smells of the food market at Hotorget, and, weather permitting, the cycle hire (from the café at the bridge in Djurgarden) which provides terrific views of the lakes and the Royal Park.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights during the peak summer season. The hotel is in a fantastic location. It is in a quiet street just off the main shopping area of Stockholm. The rooms were clean and comfortable with antique style furnishings. There was a nice window seat overlooking the fountain. The breakfast buffet was average. The hotel was full and the staff had trouble clearing the tables quickly. The table were dirty and it was more like eating in a foodcourt. Staff were apologetic for this. The hotel was great value for money for accomodation in this location.

This is the definition of a businees hotel. Clean, effective, great location, nice conference facilities and deadboring ... but free wifi uhhmmm. Take it if you are not staying for long or not are in a romantic mood.

The Scandic is in a great location with Central Train Station about 6 blocks away. There are lots of stores and restaurants within a block We requested an upgrade in advance but the hotel was unable to accomodate us. The front desk people were helpful with advice, directions etc. However, there were always long lines as there is no concierge or designated reception people- so the 2 people working the front desk do it all. Breakfast was great and I would recommend staying here due to the location.
