Hotels near Grona Lund in Stockholm

First impression - when we got into the apartment we booked we were shocked to see it was much, much smaller than presented in the pictures - see attached presentation pics vs reality. We immediately went to the reception to show them the obvious difference, when one of the front desk officers, named Joel was quite deffensive and strongly rejected my entitled claim to get the proper apartment as per my booking. He said the pics in the presentation were made with wide angles, therefore we need to accept this is the correct room, no mistake was dine. I insisted upon the obvious but I had no one to talk to in order to fix my problem. Later on I made the same complaint to Trip.com - they tried to reason with Joel, but got the same nagative attitude. Joel saga doesn't end here, unfortunatelly... The whole administration of the building might be a bit control freak. Why? Because Guests can not have full control of their room. You can not adjust the air conditioning yourself - you have to call the reception to adjust the room temperature for you. You can not open any window - you have to ask the reception for the window handle, which guess what? It's only one window handle for all of the rooms in the building and each room gets the handle for 1 hour max or at least so it should be if Joel doesn't have other opinion about it. One evening, upon request, Joel gave me the handle and told me to open the windows quickly and give it back to him fast as others needs it now too. I was shocked of course. ***??? Where is my hour? How am I supposed to close the windows then after? Oh...I have to get downstairs to the reception and get it back so that I vould close my windows. BUT wait!! Joel remembered to fully read the post it his colleague gave him before coming upstairs to my room and saw my room number was last on the list and therefore I can keep the handle for a longer period time. He was doing me a big favor. That was his attitude like. Very unprofessional, cold and really wrong attitude for someone working in hospitality. I am afraid I had to react this time and asked him what is his problem really, as it looks like it has a particular problem with me and therefore to any of my requests to get the proper service and comfort I payed for. Joel's Lady colleague was much nicer and helpful. He should follow her example if he wants to stay in hospitality. I left with a bitter taste and very dissapointed with the whole experience at Biz Apartment Bromma due to this important details of my accomodation there. The Biz Apartment concept is pretty nice though overall, is quite new, the location is indeed a bit far from the city, but within easy reach by metro, which has the station right in front of the building. You need to change at Alvik for the green line towards city center. It is also easy to reach from Arlanda Airport by train up to Solna station and than by metro. Downstairs there is a huge supermarket where you can get anything you need for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The apartment is equiped with everything essential to prepare some meals ( microwave, electric stove, dishwasher, toaster, etc.) The bed was very comfortable. A bit too cold in the room. If I were to get the more spatious apartment as per my booking pics, my own window handle and proper room temperature I would book this place again, no doubt.

The location is perfect (nearby the train, bus terminal - but not loud), the rooms are minimalistic and comfortable - everything you need is there! The rooms are clean when you arrive. You can grab some breakfast at the barception (for 8 sek.). All in all a really great stay!

Reception check my booking wrong sometimes,I did pay online,they always say I didn’t pay,it’s reservation.untill I show my payment,then they said oh,yes,I can see you paid 😬that’s not good for customers.room not open windows,smell very bad when 6 people in the room 😬 I can’t get enough oxygen during sleep,then I can’t get up easily 😬

The hotel is wonderfully quiet on the water, but is also in an average of 30 minutes with the shuttle boat in the city, or also in the sharks, for example Vaxholm in an hour. Our room 374 was in the back building with great view of the water ( standard with sea view). Good breakfast, but much free at the buffet, we took our breakfast out. There are many beautiful places on the ground to sit, a step to swimming and a snack bar, in 5 minutes walk the restaurant J, not very cheap as everything in Sweden and a little more other good restaurants and a bar at the water perfectly for a sundowner. We would book this hotel again at any time

The location of this place is exceptional. It is located on the top of Stockholm Central Station, so tram, trains and Airport (Arlanda) Express are all right there. The hotel is modern and located centrally with great restaurants and other attractions. Yes, it is not in Gamla Stan, but we walked there easily, about 25 minutes. This place has all the shopping areas nearby as well. The rooms are way too small. It was just impossible for the 3 of us (Adults) and I wish there were bigger rooms. The breakfast is also good, (again, it grades only a 3.8 or 3.9 out 5 because, have stayed in other Scandinavian hotels where the breakfast was just too good [in the range of 4.5 to 4.8]). The hotel also loans bicycles to their guests and it is first come first served, which is very good. Hotel service staff are okay. I would stay here for the location and convenience, and around this area, this is one of the best. If willing to compromise on the location, then there may be other hotels that are better. Not sure.

Everything was excellent other than I had to pay for my accommodation on arrival in spite of paying when I made my booking? Something I will check with my bank on return home!

Upon entry it was clear we had made the right decision. Welcoming staff (to be fair everyone we encountered on our trip was too), room was big enough and bathroom was incredible. Under floor heating when it's -14 outside is always a nice touch. Our very cheap rate included breakfast, fika (snack) and dinner every night. The food could sometimes have been a little hotter, and there is normally only one choice in the evening, but this was fine for us as it was always delicious. A good way to save money in quite an expensive city. Our room wasn't serviced during our stay but the company (nordic choice) had been hacked so their computer system was down, so can't blame them. They had cleaned well prior to our arrival so this didn't impact us much either. There was easy transport links less than 5 minute walk away. Would definitely be back

Great place to stay centrally in Stockholm. We Walker everywhere and did not take public transportation at all. Fantastic views from the room. We chose a superior room with private bathroom and everything lived up to our expectations. You just have to remember that this is a budget hotel and hostel. Very cheap for a central location in Stockholm. We visited in January, but the room was nice and warm. Bathroom was not heated, but they had placed an electric heater that we turned on while using the bathroom and that was just fine for us. The staff was lovely and allowed us to check in several hours early. We had only asked if we could leave our bag, but they had the room available. Probably possible due to low occupancy in January. I loved the unique stay and would definitely recommended. Would like to visit again in the spring or summertime.

A particularly dull outdoor seating area and a lobby that resembles a train station in terms of the flow of people in motion is what you are met with in the entrance.Despite late check-in, there is a noticeable queue of guests wanting tourist information, pre-paying check-out and much more.We have booked a room in the ”Moderate Double” category, which turns out to be a minimal room with a bed the size of which can hardly accommodate two adults.Hot outside and inside, it's a sickening air with no possibility to correct. Order a fan via the front desk, which, however, never shows up.A positive was a breakfast with a large selection, but missing bread that didn't seem to come from the freezer. A bit messy environment with many guests despite good initiative with booked spot times.Overall, it feels like Clarion Södermalm is struggling with the 4 star category

Although the room type is small, the facilities are complete and hygienic, the front desk service is professional and enthusiastic, the breakfast is rich and delicious, especially the hotel has convenient transportation, which is very convenient
