Jumbo Stay

It's such a shame this hotel (hostel?) has closed down. We absolutely loved it when we visited about a month ago – it was the very reason we flew all the way to Sweden! I really hope someone takes over the business and saves this unique place. With a bit of renovation and some clever marketing, it could be fantastic again!😭❤️

Fantastic and unique place to stay. Of course rooms are diminutive but my word the beds are comfy and the place was completely spotless. Transport to and from the airport was on time and so easy. Would stay again without question. Gave us connected rooms without having to ask which was very helpful as a family. Very quiet too, didn't hear a peep all night.

In a nutshell they have really bad service. I arrived after 00:00 and there was nobody at the reception. I waited a lot of time outside in the cold weather. By the time I was able to talk with someone to open the door the person was really rude. After 24hs traveling I just wanted to rest not being yelled over the phone. By the way, the rooms are really small and there was no shampoo in the bathroom. Furthermore, in the shared rooms for four people there was only one outlet to charge my phone. I do not recommend to stay here.

Quirky stay (obvs!) In the cockpit suite which was pretty amazing although headroom was low. Surprisingly quiet, and comfortable bed and warm shower. Wish we could have stayed longer; would like to come back in the good weather and enjoy the outside deck!

We slept here for 2 nights with my partner and our little boy, who loved it. Our room was very clean and so were the shared bathrooms. The breakfast was simple but ok. What is a bit sad is that there is a lack of maintenance in several places.

For anyone having a long layover and doesn't want to go far out from the airport this is the best option. Especially if you're a solo traveller or a really small group. The place is very literally 10min from the airport with the basic needs to just freshen up and sleep for the layover time and leave for the next flight. There are some basic food provisions but not much. There aren't much facilities to get food or make food either. But for a layover it is perfect and food is always there at the airport if and when needed since buses go and come every 15 min or less.

I had a great stay here, but with a few minor issues. Yes, on one hand, it's a pretty basic hotel, on par with other budget hotels or hostels I've stayed at - bearing in mind, that there's a Radisson just across the road that isn't much more expensive. On the other hand, what other hotel in the world is a genuine Boeing 747-200 that you can spend the night in? I arrived by car and parked next to the nose gear. I wasn't flying from Arlanda, so the hotel said I would be fine to leave my car while staying at the hotel. Arriving about 8pm, I didn't see or even hear a single person during my stay. There were no staff, and I just collected my card from a locked safe with a keycode. I didn't mind so much since it felt like I had the entire plane to myself! In terms of security it felt quite safe. It's airport-land and at night the only people around are airport workers. I stayed by myself in a standard room inside the cabin which had a double bed and a single bunk above that. It was a very basic room and simple, but comfortable, bed. The room was warm and I slept very well. Probably the most unique feature of the room was the genuine overhead locker where you can indeed store your luggage, but it was a shame that apart from that, and the windows, there wasn't much "theming". The TV also didn't work properly. I think there are six toilet/shower rooms in total but only three were available when I stayed. These are decked out like an airliner toilet with smooth plastic and the appropriate signs like "We Suggest You Use Your Towel To Wipe The Wash Basin", which is fun (if you are an aviation nerd and you enjoy that kind of thing). One shower had a broken knob and only had cold water which was a bit annoying, but the other shower I tried worked fine. As a pretty basic hotel it kind of relies on the theming to make it a special experience. There are lots of little touches I appreciated - for example, outside the plane, the tarmac is marked with yellow "taxi lines" leading to the four engine-pod rooms. I would have liked if the rooms were a bit more special and had some more of these little touches. So unless you get the chance to fly first class in your life, it's definitely worth a stay just to sleep on a full bed onboard a genuine airliner (even if it is grounded). I just felt the maintenance issues kept it short of five stars.

Rooms were good and different experince. Common areas, toilets and rooms were clean too. Going inside with shoes is not allowed, also good for me. But no clean slippers given. All used and old. That was the worst point for me. And elevator is not working for onboarding, sad. Arlanda airport have 7/24 transfer from each terminal to hotel for every 10-15 minutes with two line P2 and P3, both. 5 minutes from terminals. Pretty easy to reach to plane. And short walking from bus station to plane. That is not “clearly” mentioning on hotel descrpition so made me think and call before my reservation. Around plane no any food or cafe, so be prepared before. There is one wending machine for snacks. As summary, good for a experience, but not second time due to location and limited service. Just go, stay and leave near airport and have an unique experience.

A must stay if you're an aviation geek like me. As a child, 747s had just come on the scene and took the public imagination instantly with its gargantuan size and instantly recognizable hump. I spent decades revering this icon of global travel to exotic destinations. Rode it for many years when in college and as a young adult. And now I get to come up close to one just as this queen of the skies is getting retired from most flagship airlines in favor of 2 engined planes. Very clever use of space with strong homage to key areas of the aircraft. I originally booked an engine nacelle room. But am grateful the receptionist offered to place me in the main cabin for several reasons--proximity to toilet-showers, noise insulation (from aircraft taxiing nearby), and the alarming wobble each time someone walks the wing overhead! Breakfast begins at 3am. An easy terminal shuttle bus (P3 Alfa) runs 4 times an hour for much of the day and night. No shoes inside the hostel--bring flip flops to use around and un bathrooms.

Good value and certainly an unusual experience for a stay near the airport. I don't see it as gimmicky as some other reviews, since it is a fitting use and very well done. Getting to and from any terminal at the airport is quick with the free shuttle. I definitely would only stay before an early flight or after a late arrival: no reason to stay this far out more than one night. It is important to expect a hostel experience, such as shared showers. I stayed in one of the engines. Other than the constant hum of the nearby airport, it was quiet and comfortable. The employees were very friendly. Breakfast was a simple continental spread, starting at 3am to accommodate even the craziest flights. I thought it was a bit odd that the snow hadn't been cleared at all for me to get from the main area to my engine...luckily it was less than 2 inches, I hope they'd clear it if there was more...

If you're going to Stockholm, you gotta try this place out. It's an actual 747 converted into a hotel. The rooms are comfortable. We had the black box room, which was in the back of the airplane. Plenty of room and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was a nice touch and it was included in the cost of the stay. Overall, highly recommended.

Small and gimmick hotel close to airport. I would stay the night before an early flight. Beware that at check in the staff will try to upsell you to a more expensive room or a private room from what you have booked. I talked to three others at the free breakfast the next morning and we all shared the same type story. Wifi was good but The advertised air conditioning was not and this was a hot summer day and the room was very hot and stuffy

Went on a solo trip to Stockholm and heard about this hostel previously. It was very close to the airport. Take the free shuttle bus from bus stop 3 at Arlanda airport and just takes about 7 minutes. Upon arrival, the staff members were very nice. I had a 4 bed dorm. It was a very small room though. The bathroom to the back of the 'plane' were very clean and well maintained. The breakfast is not included in the price. You need to pay extra for it and it was decent. I got it because it was easier than finding breakfast elsewhere. The location is convenient to the airport but far from Stockholm city. I took the bus to the airport and then took the Arlanda Express bus to Stockholm. Took around 30-35 min one-way. This is not the most cost efficient way, however. There is a discount for youth (up to 25 yrs old) so a one way ticket was around $17-$18. Overall, I think the concept of the Jumbo Stay was very fresh and unique and I enjoyed my experience!

Cute & is more of a gimmicky hotel. Bus 3 is located in terminal 5, you have to press & hold buttons to use elevators, shoe have to be removed in check in area, breakfast is included & serves as early as 3am. Rooms are small & I stayed in the bottom/boot/cargo room of plane w /wifi, toilet & tv. It is a 35min bus ride from down town Stockholm to terminal 5 than another shuttle bus that runs every 15min for free. I'd suggest staying here last nite of trip because it takes longer to go to city especially at night

If you dont want a good nights sleep stay here. extremely noisy, the room doors are so loud that you can hear them crystal clear every time someone opens and closes one. also the walls are paper thin so when people are walking up and down the hallway or opening the doors or talking you hear it. didnt sleep at all the whole night bc its that loud. also the front desk is pretty much in the main hallway so when they talk on the phone you hear that too. also the bathrooms are the same size as an airplane bathroom and that includes a shower. we should have just slept at the airport and saved our money, thats not a joke.
