Stenhamra Holidays

Arrival - at 8pm all looks nice. The atrium is impressive. Hard to find as has multiple names so google and maps is different to the booking… weird. Only one receptionist who is absent for 20+ mins. She’s lovely, it’s not her fault as I’m sure she was working elsewhere, but why only one receptionist. No other staff even in the vicinity! Room 1 - awful. Smells of pungent, putrid, toilet / drains. I’m not soft with this stuff - I use many a public toilet but it was unbearable stench. The room itself was tired and beat up.. not talking dated decor..I can deal with that.. it had - mouldy bathroom. Just needs ripping out and redoing. Room 2 - better but not great. So after my shock of the smell I asked to be moved but they could only accommodate this for one night as fully booked. Second room was better, still had a whiff about it but acceptable. However, knowing what I paid for my windowless room, this ‘upgrade’ assumedly more expensive would not have been worth it. Service - receptionist 1 - brilliant and did everything she could to help me despite being run off her feet. Receptionist 2 - couldn’t care less. Receptionist 3 - again lovely and very apologetic. These staff are over worked. For the size of the hotel there’s simply not enough people. Location - great for a gig at the arena as can walk back but then that also makes it overpriced. Breakfast - nice enough and lots of choice My advice - stay somewhere else.

Very good location, easy to check in, property as described on the listing.

Great location and excellent staff. Lovely bar which was very lively in the evenings.

Had a great stay. I lucked out on my room as I upgraded at last minute and got to check in early to a great spacious room. My friends, not so lucky but were allowed to upgrade then next day which I would highly recommend as the smaller rooms are very compact especially the ones without windows. The staff were all amazing and the breakfast was substantial, offering everything you could think of. Great location too and easy walking distance for shops and to Gamala Stan and Djurgården for Vasa Museum and ABBA museum.
