Scandic Continental

I absolutely loved this hotel! The room was spacious and quiet, and the staff were helpful and welcoming. The location couldn’t have been better - the Old Town was within walking distance, there were many shops in the area, the train station was right across the street (great for getting to/from the airport), and there was even a metro station directly beneath the building. I chose this hotel because I was attending a concert at Avicii Arena, and the direct connection made it super convenient.

The hotel was just across the road from the main train station and had a subway stop below. The tram to see the Vassa and Abba museum was also next to the hotel, so travel was excellent. Having the separate sauna was very useful but nowhere was it documented you had to contact reception to have it turned on. Being open until 10 pm allowed for a tourist day and dinner first. The roof top bar and restaurant looked good but only seen at night in winter when not allowed out. The usual Scandic breakfast was plentiful and sets you up for the day.

I really loved the location. I went for a standard bedroom with no view so I expected it to be tiny! But it was pretty decent. Breakfast was included in the price that I went for however, I missed it by 5mins and they were putting everything away. I still managed to try some savory but I really wanted the fruit as I don't like to eat savory in the morning .There was also no option for alternative or oatmilk for my coffee..

Located conveniently across the main train station and adjacent to the metro station, the location is just one of the great things about this hotel. It is very close to the old town (Gamla Stan), and all other popular tourist attractions. The breakfast served in the morning is good with a wide spread and number of options for meat eaters and vegans. The gym is spacious, nicely equipped and available round the clock. The friendly staff interact with a smile and their behaviour does not depend on your passport or colour of your skin.

The breakfast area was excellent and they had 2 areas to have breakfast, 1st and 3rd floor. Good selection of food choices. Location was excellent just 500m from the train station. We took the Arland express train from the airport to Stockholm it took 18minutes well worth the price. Regarding the hotel they checked us in earlier than the normal check-in time which was a bonus. The only negative thing was no air conditioning but they did get a fan for us. For those travelling in the warmer months you need to know a lot of hotels don’t offer air conditioning.
