20 Marriott Hotels in Stockholm | Repeat Guests Book for Stockholm Access

1. Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel, Stockholm

The Vibe

This is the efficient traveler’s base camp. Right on Central Station’s doorstep — you can hear the Arlanda Express rumble in from 5-8 minutes away — but guest reviews swear the soundproofing works. 9.4 cleanliness and 9.4 comfort scores back up the “modern and clean” label repeat guests use.

What You Actually Get

Rooms come with free WiFi scoring a solid 9.2, and the breakfast buffet gets consistently called “wonderful.” The fitness center works for jet-lag recovery, and the on-site restaurant serves lunch and dinner (menu slightly reduced, per a recent guest Q&A). One quirk: prepaid reservations require the same credit card presented at check-in. If you’re booking for someone else, contact the property directly. The waterside area and City Hall are walkable, but the real draw is stepping off the train and into the lobby in under ten minutes.

Choose this if: Your itinerary relies on trains and early flights — the Arlanda Express platform is a 5-minute walk.

2. Best Western Plus Time Hotel

The Vibe

A comfortable, no-surprises stay with a 9.4 staff score that tells you the front desk actually remembers you. Breakfast is “exceptional” per multiple guest quotes, and the sauna adds a distinctly Swedish touch after a day walking the city.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi at 8.9, tea/coffee makers in every room, and a terrace for warmer months. The location scores 8.6 — not the most central in this list, but the trade-off is a genuinely quiet neighborhood with Vanadislunden Park as your backyard. Families get dedicated family rooms, and the 24-hour front desk means late arrivals aren’t a stress point (guests confirm 2 AM check-in works fine). Pets not allowed, so this one’s for the human-only travelers.

Choose this if: You value a calm sleep environment and a sauna over being steps from the nightlife.

3. Home Hotel Tapetfabriken

The Vibe

A former wallpaper factory turned into a 4-star with serious personality. The lobby is a coworking social hub — “spacious and well furnished with many areas to work or socialize” is how one guest described it. Staff scores an impressive 9.6, the highest for any hotel in this radius.

What You Actually Get

Private parking (rare in Stockholm), a fitness center, and free WiFi that clocks a 9.3 speed score. Breakfast and dinner are both on-site — dinner runs 6-8 PM Sunday to Thursday, 6-9 PM Friday and Saturday. Pets allowed on request (charges apply), making this one of the few genuinely pet-friendly options near the water. The location in Nacka is less central (8.5 location score), but Sickla Beach is a short walk and the tram connects you to central Stockholm in about 20 minutes.

Choose this if: You’re traveling with a pet, need parking, or want a hotel that feels like a neighborhood hub.

4. ProfilHotels Nacka

The Vibe

Professional and efficient, with a 9.4 staff score and 9.1 value score that make it a strong pick for the Nacka area. Guests note the “breeze” check-in process and the convenience of nearby shopping. The garden and terrace add breathing room that central hotels can’t offer.

What You Actually Get

Family rooms, on-site parking, a restaurant, and room service — plus tea/coffee makers in all rooms and a breakfast buffet that earns “wonderful” status. The property doesn’t accept cash; card only. Pets are allowed on request (300 SEK per night per the guest FAQ), making it another pet-viable option in this cluster. The location score of 8.3 reflects the suburban trade-off, but the tram connection to central Stockholm is reliable and quick.

Choose this if: You want a quiet base with easy tram access, especially if you’re attending events at Stockholm International Fairs.

5. Långholmen Hotell

The Vibe

A 19th-century prison turned hotel — and yes, it’s as unique as it sounds. The cell-like rooms are cozy (guests note they’re “no smaller than any other room we stayed in”), but the public spaces and island setting make up for the compact quarters.

What You Actually Get

Free parking is the standout amenity here — practically unheard of at this price point in Stockholm. Beachfront access means summer swimming is steps away. The breakfast is “excellent” per guest quotes, and the 24-hour front desk accommodates late arrivals. No pets allowed. The 9.0 location score reflects the island’s peaceful vibe while still being a 10-minute walk to Hornstull’s subway, buses, and grocery stores.

Choose this if: You want a story to tell and don’t need room size — this is Stockholm’s most memorable budget-friendly stay.

6. Hotel Hasselbacken

The Vibe

Historic in the best way — this 4-star sits on Djurgården Island, Stockholm’s green lung. With a 9.5 location score and a 9.5 staff score, it’s consistently praised for access to Skansen, Gröna Lund, and the open-air museums.

What You Actually Get

Rooms are clean (9.2) and comfortable (9.2), with free WiFi at 8.8. The breakfast buffet is “excellent” per the property’s own labeling and guest quotes confirm it. The fitness center is small but functional. One catch: check-in closes at 9 PM, though the 24/7 staffed desk handles late arrivals (guests confirm post-9 PM check-in works — just let them know). Parking on site is available. Children 4+ count as adults, so budget accordingly for families.

Choose this if: Your Stockholm itinerary revolves around Djurgården’s museums and green spaces.

7. Elite Hotel Carolina Tower

The Vibe

A solid business-adjacent property in Hagastaden. Cleanliness at 9.3 and comfort at 9.3 make it reliable, and the breakfast buffet gets called “terrific” by guests. Not the most central location (8.7), but 10-20 minutes to the city center via public transport.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi (8.6), room service, a restaurant, and a fitness center. The 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals smoothly (guest FAQ confirms early check-in is free if the room is ready). Family rooms available, and pets are allowed on request (charges apply). The “wonderful breakfast” label is earned — guests specifically praise its quality and variety. Groups booking 9+ rooms face different policies, so coordinate ahead for large parties.

Choose this if: You’re visiting Karolinska or want a quiet, clean base with easy transit into the city.

8. Sure Hotel by Best Western Stockholm Alvsjo

The Vibe

A practical choice for fair-goers. Located near Älvsjö Train Station and the Stockholm International Fairs, this 3-star delivers on convenience if not luxury. The 8.8 staff score is the highlight, with guest quotes singling out the host Josefin for making the stay feel like home.

What You Actually Get

Free sauna access, free WiFi (8.7), and a very good breakfast. The property also offers free tea and coffee all day — a small perk that frequent guests appreciate. Family rooms are available, and pets are allowed on request (charges apply). No cash accepted. The 7.7 overall score reflects the older facilities, but the value score of 8.3 and location for fair access make it a targeted pick for the right traveler.

Choose this if: You’re attending an event at Stockholm International Fairs and want the closest affordable stay.

9. Elite Hotel Marina Tower, Spa & Resort

The Vibe

This is the resort option in the list — a 4-star sitting on Saltsjö Bay with a spa that guests rave about. The 9.3 cleanliness score and 9.2 staff score set a high bar. Water bus connections make central Stockholm feel closer than the 9.1 location score suggests.

What You Actually Get

Spa access needs to be booked in advance (guests 18+ only, though children under 18 can use it 9-10 AM with a parent). The pool is heated and the facilities score 9.0. Free WiFi at 8.7, on-site parking, and a wonderful breakfast included. Pets are allowed (charges apply). Rooms come with flat-screen cable TVs and modern bathrooms. The “wonderful breakfast included” label is accurate — guests consistently note its quality.

Choose this if: You want a spa getaway that’s still connected to the city by water transport.

10. Hobo Stockholm

The Vibe

Central Stockholm doesn’t get more central than Hobo. A 9.7 location score ties it for the highest in this entire list. Guests call it “the best location in Stockholm.” The modern, design-forward rooms and two on-site restaurants make it a lively base — not a quiet retreat.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi at 8.8, a fitness center, a terrace, and a “wonderful breakfast” with views of Stockholm. The two restaurants cover different cuisines, and room service is available. No parking on site — the hotel recommends the nearby Parking Gallery at Regeringsgatan 15. Every room has a private bathroom. Cash is not accepted; card only. The 8.4 value score reflects the premium you pay for the location, but guests consistently feel it’s worth it.

Choose this if: You want to step out of the hotel and be in the middle of Stockholm’s action immediately.

11. NOFO Hotel, WorldHotels Crafted

The Vibe

A boutique gem in Södermalm’s trendy SoFo district. Housed in a listed building from 1780, it blends historic architecture with modern design. The 9.4 staff score, 9.3 cleanliness, and 9.4 location score make it a consistent high-performer across categories.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi (8.6), an on-site restaurant, room service, and a wonderful breakfast. The property is cash-free and guests arriving after 6 PM should contact the hotel in advance. Pets allowed on request (charges apply). The SoFo location means you’re surrounded by independent shops, restaurants, and cafes — it’s the anti-chain-hotel experience. The Medborgarplatsen metro is a 3-minute walk, connecting you to Gamla Stan in one stop.

Choose this if: You want to stay in Stockholm’s trendiest neighborhood with excellent metro connections to the Old Town.

12. Elite Eden Park Hotel

The Vibe

Overlooking Humlegården Park with a 9.6 staff score that’s among the highest on this list. Modern design meets a gourmet restaurant (GOMA) and a gastropub — two dining options on-site. The 9.5 location score puts you in the heart of Östermalm.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi (8.9), a fitness center with sauna (no spa services), on-site parking, and an “excellent breakfast.” Check-in closes at 8 PM — late arrivals need to coordinate. Tea/coffee makers in all rooms, and the property is pet-free. The Central Station is 1.6 km away (20 minutes walk, 10 minutes by transit). The two restaurants cover different price points, with GOMA being the higher-end option. Guests consistently praise the “stylish and modern” rooms.

Choose this if: You want Östermalm elegance with dining flexibility — two restaurants mean you don’t have to leave the hotel.

13. Hotel Rival

The Vibe

The highest-rated property on this list at 9.3/10 — and it earns it. A 9.8 staff score is virtually unheard of. Housed in a 1930s Art Déco building on Mariatorget Square, Hotel Rival is the benchmark for service in Stockholm. Guests call it “beautiful” and “quiet” despite the central Södermalm location.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi (8.8), private parking available, an exceptional breakfast with vegetarian and gluten-free options, and a restaurant serving highly recommended meals. The 9.6 cleanliness score and 9.5 comfort score speak to the room quality — particularly the beds, which guests rank as some of the most comfortable in the city. Cash-free property. No pets allowed. The Mariatorget square outside is a lovely spot for coffee at the hotel’s street-level tables.

Choose this if: Service quality matters most — Hotel Rival’s staff consistently deliver the best experience in Stockholm.

14. Hotel Skeppsholmen, Stockholm, a Member of Design Hotels

The Vibe

A design hotel on Skeppsholmen Island that feels worlds away but is a 20-minute walk from the city center. The 9.7 location score is puzzling to first-timers until they realize the peace and quiet IS the location value. The 1690s building houses spacious rooms and a 9.5 comfort score.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi that scores an exceptional 9.5, on-site parking, an exceptional breakfast, a fitness center, and family rooms. Byredo toiletries in every room add a luxury touch. No pets allowed, and no age restriction. The Moderna Museum is a 3-minute walk, and the local bus connects to the city center in 10 minutes. The hotel is part of the Design Hotels group, so expect aesthetic rigor — clean lines, preserved historical details, and curated artwork.

Choose this if: You want a quiet, design-focused island stay that’s still within walking distance of the Old Town.

15. Villa Dahlia

The Vibe

A park-side retreat in central Stockholm. Overlooking Tegnérlunden Park and 492 feet from Drottninggatan’s shopping street, Villa Dahlia balances location with a genuinely calm atmosphere. The 9.5 cleanliness score and 9.5 comfort score are top-tier.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi (9.2), private parking, a fitness center, room service, and an excellent breakfast with continental, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The spa is included only for suite bookings — other room types pay a 550 SEK surcharge. No air conditioning (they use a “highly sophisticated ventilation system” instead). Connecting rooms are available. Tea/coffee makers in all rooms, and the 9.3 location score puts you 10 minutes from Central Station on foot.

Choose this if: Cleanliness and a park-side location are your top priorities — Villa Dahlia delivers both at 9.5.

16. Bank Hotel, a Member of Small Luxury Hotels

The Vibe

The only 5-star property on this list — and it shows. A 9.8 location score ties for the highest in Stockholm, and the “more repeat guests than most properties” data point suggests people come back. The former bank building houses a design-forward luxury experience.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi (8.9), private parking, an excellent breakfast with continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and breakfast-to-go options. The 9.6 comfort score reflects exceptionally quiet, well-appointed rooms. Every room has a hairdryer, and the hotel provides Byredo toiletries (standard for the SLH group). Cash-free property. No pets. The Östermalm location puts you steps from Strandvägen’s waterfront restaurants and Stureplan’s nightlife. Group bookings of 5+ rooms face different policies.

Choose this if: Budget is less of a concern and you want the highest-rated location and comfort combo in Stockholm.

17. 2Home Stockholm South

The Vibe

A functional budget option with free parking — a rarity in Stockholm. The 7.0 overall score reflects the industrial-area location (6.1 location score) and basic facilities, but the high repeat guest rate suggests it works for its target audience. Good breakfast and free WiFi round out the value proposition.

What You Actually Get

Free private parking, free WiFi (8.5), laundry facilities, a fitness center, and family rooms. Reception hours are limited: Monday-Friday 7 AM-10 PM, Saturday-Sunday 8 AM-4 PM. Late arrivals can drop keys in the lobby mailbox. Pets allowed (charges apply). The continental breakfast includes baked bread, toppings, yogurt, juice, and coffee/tea. Located in the Årsta Partihallar industrial area, this is a car-first property — walkability is minimal.

Choose this if: You have a car and need free parking — this is the most affordable option with that amenity.

18. Castanea Old Town Hostel

The Vibe

A hostel that punches above its weight. Despite being a 2-star, it scores an 8.9/10 rating — higher than many 4-star hotels on this list. The 9.8 location score in Gamla Stan is unbeatable, and the 9.6 staff score backs up the “friendly, helpful” guest feedback.

What You Actually Get

Free WiFi (9.4), a shared kitchen with essential appliances, family rooms, and laundry facilities. Bed linen and towels are not included (SEK 75 to rent, or bring your own — sleeping bags not permitted). Private rooms are “small but efficient” per guests. Check-in closes at 6 PM, but late arrivals can coordinate with the property. The Gamla Stan Metro Station is a 3-minute walk, connecting you to all of Stockholm. No pets allowed.

Choose this if: You’re on a tight budget but refuse to compromise on location — Gamla Stan doesn’t get more central.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are pets allowed at these Stockholm hotels?

It varies by property. Home Hotel Tapetfabriken (#3), ProfilHotels Nacka (#4), Elite Hotels (#7, #9, #12), Victory Hotel (#19), 2Home Stockholm South (#17), and Scandic Skärholmen (#20) all allow pets on request with charges. Hotels like Best Western Plus Time Hotel (#2), Långholmen Hotell (#5), Hotel Rival (#13), Hotel Skeppsholmen (#14), Villa Dahlia (#15), and Bank Hotel (#16) do not. Always confirm pet fees — some charge per night, not per stay.

Which hotels offer free cancellation?

Most properties on this list offer free cancellation options, but the terms vary by room type and rate plan. Hotels like Radisson Blu Waterfront (#1), Best Western Plus Time (#2), and Hobo Stockholm (#10) allow you to check conditions during the booking process. Generally, flexible-rate rooms offer cancellation up to 24-48 hours before arrival, while prepaid rates are non-refundable. Always review the specific cancellation policy before confirming your booking.

Can I check in late at any of these properties?

Yes, many hotels have 24-hour front desks. Radisson Blu Waterfront (#1), Best Western Plus Time (#2), ProfilHotels Nacka (#4), Långholmen Hotell (#5), Hotel Hasselbacken (#6), Elite Hotel Carolina Tower (#7), and Victory Hotel (#19) all offer late check-in. The Sure Hotel by BW Älvsjö (#8) and 2Home Stockholm South (#17) have limited reception hours but can coordinate late arrivals if contacted in advance. Castanea Old Town Hostel (#18) closes reception at 6 PM but can arrange late check-in with prior notice.

How do I get from Arlanda Airport to central Stockholm hotels?

The fastest option is the Arlanda Express train — 18 minutes to Central Station, with a 5-8 minute walk to the Radisson Blu Waterfront (#1). The Flygbussarna airport coaches take 45 minutes and drop at multiple city locations including Hornstull (for Långholmen Hotell #5) and Liljeholmen. Taxis cost around 575 SEK flat rate from major companies. For Nacka hotels (#3, #4, #9), take the Arlanda Express to Central Station then the tram or water bus.

What’s the most walkable area in Stockholm?

Gamla Stan (Old Town) and Norrmalm around Central Station are the most walkable areas. Hotels with 9.5+ location scores — Hobo Stockholm (#10), Bank Hotel (#16), Castanea Old Town Hostel (#18), Victory Hotel (#19), and Hotel Skeppsholmen (#14) — put you within walking distance of the Royal Palace, Stortorget, the Vasa Museum, and Djurgården. Södermalm’s SoFo district (#11 NOFO Hotel, #13 Hotel Rival) is also highly walkable with excellent metro connections.

When’s the best time to visit Stockholm?

Late May through August offers the warmest weather, long daylight hours (up to 18 hours in June), and the best conditions for exploring Djurgården and the archipelago. December brings Christmas markets in Gamla Stan and cozy “fika” culture, though daylight is limited to 6 hours. For lower rates and fewer crowds, visit in April-May or September-October — hotels like the Elite Eden Park (#12) and Villa Dahlia (#15) often have better availability during shoulder season.
