Scandic Sjöfartshotellet

Personally I love this hotel. It is in an excellent location. While some of the other Scandic hotels are grander, this one is excellent value for money. The rooms are small but clean and super comfy. The staff are professional and lovely. The breakfast is outstanding. It is quiet but if you want to be in Sodermalm you can't beat this location. It is close to the Slussen transport hub, with buses all over the city and two metro stops from the station, a short walk to Sodermalm main street shops and bars and just across the bridge to Gamla Stan. Close to the Slussen boat stop to city stops and to Vaxholm.

We had a roof-top room with a balcony and sea-view, which was just beautiful. The room was ample for our needs, which had to fit all our motorbike luggage and riding gear. Roof-top bar was great and staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. You had to book your time slot, though this was not heavily enforced. Parking was expensive, but glad to have it available as parking in the area is limited. Convenient to walk to Old Town and any public transport.

The breakfast was really good, you shouldn't forget to book a table though. the room was really spacious and clean, we were super happy with it even though it was a windowless room. the room is not underground btw,only that the hotel is up against a cliff (?) so on one side of the building, naturally, there re no windows.There were curtains on the wall to imitate a window with a led light, which was cute. it was chilly when we first got to the room but there was a temperature adjustable air con so the rest of the stay was warm and cozy. The metro is super close and Gamla Stan is within walking distance.

Breakfast was superb! A lot of so various options: vegetarian and hot meat, lactose free and dairy products, gluten free and bakery. I have a lot of allergies and can confirm that there's enough options for practically anyone. Receptionists were also very nice and helpful. Rooms are pretty small, but that's clearly stated in the description and that's totally understandable for a price for such a hotel. Economy on the least necessary things - and a good value for money as a result.

Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional. Staff was helpful in finding us taxi service for our departure. Location in the city was great as well. Mostly quiet but we stayed during the week. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we would happily stay here again!
