As an American traveler who spends a lot of time in Europe, you never know if a hotel experience is going to be a good one or a bad one. Well, the Courtyard by Marriott in Stockholm is a very good one. European Marriott Courtyards are often a step-above their US counterparts. Overall, the rooms are built to the American business travel standard, and the room was large, clean and functional. There is a small refrigerator, so you can stow some food items. Many people don't know that just behind the hotel is a Shell gas station with a 7-11 inside. A good place to pick up some snack items for your room. The room also has a digital safe, which is a nice feature.
The in-room coffee is instant coffee by Nescafe. It's terrible. But, you can get free coffee (and take away cups) at the free buffet (if that applies to you). Also, there is a 24 hour self-serve market in the lobby that serves Nespresso for a fee.
The hotel also features the BJORK BAR and GRILL. So, you have a full service restaurant and bar in the hotel, which is not often the case in US Courtyard hotels. Prices for food and drinks can be a shocker in Stockholm, so be ready for it! But, it's a fine place to eat and have drinks. Many room rate plans of the Courtyard have breakfast included, and that will be served in the BJORK restaurant. It's a pretty decent breakfast.
WiFi for guests is free, however, when you logon to the WiFi you can pay for a higher-speed WiFi. That costs about $23/day. The free WiFi is fast enough for most purposes, however. Note that the hotel limits you to two WiFi devices per room. If you have more than two devices, you can pay extra. But, be careful when logging into the WiFi, as you may accidentally order the paid WiFi plan when you intended to order the free WiFi.
The hotel is located about a 30 minute walk (along the river) from the city center. This was fine for us, as we wanted to get some walking done. It really is a nice walk, and there are plenty of cafes along the river walk. But, there is a metro station nearby, and cabs are everywhere. If you are a cruise ship passenger, the cruise ships dock very nearby, just next to the Royal Palace.
