Great stay and would absolutely stay again. Very clean and modern rooms. Very kind and service-oriented team. Central A/C as I think is standard in Stockholm but kept room comfortably cool even during a quite hot week in the city - follow recommendations in the room to maximize cooling. Comfortable pillows. Great water pressure. Grown Alchemist products! Mattress is on the softer side. The mini bar fridge has a little room if you need to keep something cool but it is not super cold, that may be the only downside of the stay. Dog friendly with a bed, water bowl and treats. Just email or call ahead so they can prepare a dog friendly room for you. Decent cocktails and coffee at the bar downstairs with comfortable seating. Great breakfast. Central location to the trains and the rest of the city - good restaurants, pubs, shopping, groceries all walking distance.

Brilliant location to transport links and main sites of Stockholm within easy walking distance. Very quiet with minimal disturbance. Staff are friendly and courteous. Good variety at breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Nordic Light Hotel for 6 nights in a suite. The hotel has a spacious feel overall, and its location is excellent—just steps away from the train that goes directly to the airport, which made transportation extremely convenient. However, the suite itself felt a bit small, and we found the layout to be somewhat impractical. Having two separate bathrooms took up a lot of space that could have been used more efficiently in the room. On a positive note, the breakfast area was large and comfortable, and the buffet offered a good variety of choices to suit different preferences. Overall, the hotel was clean, modern, and well-equipped, making it a solid choice for travelers looking for convenience and comfort in the heart of the city.

Totally enjoyed our stay at the Nordic Light Hotel! We were surprised that it was just 50m from Arlanda Express platform when we arrived from the airport. The hotel is modern and we love the interior design and functionality of the room. We enjoyed the breakfast -- it was good quality and good spread. The hotel staffs were professional and friendly. There was an issue with a smell in the bathroom and the hotel staff fixed it within the day when we arrived back from sightseeing. Overall, we had a great stay and would come back again in our next visit to Stockholm.

Loved staying here. If you’re looking for a hotel in central Stockholm, stop scrolling and book this one. ||The room was well presented, good lighting, comfy beds, lovely bathroom. The hotel as a whole had a Nordic theme, the wood panelling and stylish furniture gave it a relaxing air. Despite being 2 mins from the Central Station, 1 minute from the Arlanda Express and 1.5 mins from the metro it still felt calm and restorative. ||Breakfast was excellent, a wide selection of foods, healthy and unhealthy both well represented. I managed a 3 course breakfast each morning of my stay, which meant I didn’t really need a proper lunch. ||The women on reception were helpful and friendly - it didn’t matter than the only Swedish I know is “Tack” (thank you).||This was probably the best hotel of my trip. I’d 100% stay here again.

Great location and friendly staff. The bar and terrace was nice and the room already had a fan without needing to request. However, the furniture in the room was a little beat up. But overall perfectly satisfied with everything.

A superb hotel with a super friendly staff. Great breakfast with many options. (Only the scrambled eggs were more like a watery soup) Rooms are small but beautifully and well designed. Comfortable beds. Nice gym in the basement. Location is superb. If you bring some time with you. Take the Flixbus from the airport. Its just a 40 min ride. And only 7 Euros

I looked through a lot of options for our stay in Stockholm and I was thrilled with our decision to stay at the Nordic Light. It got off to a great start when we discovered that it was just steps away when we got off the Arlanda Express. The front desk was very friendly and helpful when we checked in and were a great resource throughout our stay. By American standards, some would think the room was small, but by European standards it was extremely spacious. Beyond that, the design was incredibly thoughtful, with much more storage than I’ve had in rooms that were twice the size! We also found the bed to be extremely comfortable. Our only issue was with the shower. It looks beautiful and worked well, but the way it was designed caused the entire floor of the bathroom to get wet, no matter how hard you tried to prevent it. Overall, we had a fabulous stay!

My wife and I stayed here for two nights after our Baltic cruise. The staff is incredibly nice, helpful, and wanting to ensure you have a great stay. We arrived at 11:00 and our room wasn't ready, but there were some in our large group who did check in early and we had a room by 1:00, which is two hours earlier than the guarantee...so no complaints on check-in The rooms are simple and tight, but comfortable clean, and quiet. The bed is quite comfy and I liked the scrunchy pillows. We slept great with our window open to allow for fresh air...I think we were lucky that the late night revelers were not under our window while we slept. The breakfast buffet (included in room price) in the morning is one of the best I've seen in my many years of travel. It rivals the 5-star hotels where you have to pay extra for a buffet with the number of choices this breakfast offered. Everything from as fresh and tasty. You'd have to hate food to dislike this buffet. We had an early flight, day of our checkout so we only enjoyed the buffet once. However, the hotel staff made up to-go breakfast bags for us sent us off with nutritious sandwiches, fruits, and drink. Where do you get that service?!?! The lobby of the the hotel is roomy and very comfortable. There are many places to work, lounge, or read without feeling other guests are too close. It was nice to relax in this hotel. The price of our rooms were ~ $200 per night so I was very pleased with the hotel for all that it offered. It's close to shopping, transportation hubs, and a 20 minute walk to Old Town.

The hotel is located in a perfect spot just off the airport train station. The hotel was spotlessly clean, had a great atmosphere, their breakfast was amazing with so many choices! The rooms were a bit small for 2 but it worked just fine.

This hotel is located in Stockholm's city centre and is within a short walking distance to the train, metro, and a variety of eateries and shops. The lobby features an on-site restaurant and bar as well as the guest services counter. I arrived a few hours before the check-in time and I was able to store my suitcase free of charge in the hotel's luggage room while I explored the city. The staff members who I interacted with were pleasant and friendly. I had one issue with the room, but the front desk staff offered to fix it immediately. The hotel is in a safe area. Moreover, key cards are required in order to take the elevator to your room. Wifi and the morning breakfast buffet are complimentary. My room was a nice size and I appreciated the provision of slippers to walk around in. Having two full length mirrors in the room allowed me to view my outfits from head to toe. My view was the office building across the street. Not very exciting, but all the more reason to get out and about. The hotel offers an on-site gym, but I didn't use this amenity during my stay. All in all, I had a pleasant experience at the Nordic Light Hotel and I would stay there again.

Small cramped rooms, mediocre breakfast with items running out mid meal, worst Wi-Fi we encountered in two weeks of travel. Good location, staff was nice.

If I could give 3.5, I would, but didn't think our experience warranted a 4 star rating. The location of the hotel is wonderful, although in a "seedier" part of Stockholm, but that's not American level seedy. The building is less than beautiful, and the front desk wasn't very friendly or accommodating. I thought we had booked the wrong hotel when we walked to our room. The hallways were dark, dingy, and the carpet and walls in need of attention, however the room itself was fantastic. Brand new everything. We ate breakfast downstairs each morning and enjoyed it. We also ate dinner a couple of nights at Lykke...very good. Overall it was a good hotel, but it lacked a few refinements that international travelers expect, especially the customer service. It would be a good second choice hotel for us in the future, if we return to Stockholm.

Everything is spot on. The food, the cocktails, the service, the guys at the bar. And the brunch on the weekends is just to top it all off. I had a terrific experience and will visit this place every time I'll visit Stockholm. Keep up the great work.

Stayed for two nights -post business trip to explore Stockholm (first visit). Five stars for location, location, location. Room was more than adequate - good size for Europe, breakfast was top-notch (esp. weekdays). Staff was friendly and securely stored my bags on last day prior to flight in order to accomodate additional sight-seeing. Check in/out was fast. Number of stars reduced for: poor bathroom drainage (floor was wet with every shower), exterior straight out of 1970's, television didn't work.

Great location Stylish interior & very forgettable exterior Smallish rooms & I echo comments about the poor drainage of the showers Wonderful buffet breakfast However our stay was tarnished by one deeply personal event , my wife felt racially discriminated by a breakfast room server She asked politely where were the glasses to make fresh squeezed orange juice & was told by a worker wearing an apron ( identical to all other employees) I don't know, I don't work here in a very sullen rude manner , it was a 4 sentence conversation so clearly she understood English , 30 seconds later my wife (Asian) observed the same employee actively helping a Caucasian man , hence she felt this was a racial response , so we complained to the front desk & now I must compliment how the young lady behind the desk dealt with our concerns , honestly it couldn't have been handled better , she was concerned , shocked , apologetic & explained the corrective actions she would take & how this would be escalated & corrected , text book perfect customer service !! So however pissed off we feel due to one ignorant employee , we must also compliment one very kind professional & responsive employee, still leaves a bad taste though

This was my favorite hotel in Stockholm since around 2000. So when the hotel made a billing mistake and announced it five months later (on my next visit), I would have expected some sort of apology and discount. Any kind of consideration, really. Instead, zero flexibility, a few excuses and a small argument about how I should have known about their mistake. Amazing. So now I'm looking for a nice hotel that values return business.

This is a review for the weekend brunch at the crooked leg. Overall the brunch was good, if overpriced. The batter fried fish was excellent as were the scrambled eggs. My brunch mates also enjoyed the grilled chicken and the cold cuts. The pictures and other review on Yelp seem to indicate that their brunch menu changes frequently, but we didn't get waffles, there were pancakes instead, although, disappointingly, they were served on the buffet, cold stacked on a plate and not fresh and hot. I've been to other buffets where they put out pancake griddles for guests to make their own pancakes and my suggestion to the crooked leg would be to follow suite. That would really catapults the brunch experience here over the top!

This property probably warrants four stars, and maybe I would have rated it higher if my stay was shorter. Perhaps I'm just too old for the place, but my affection diminished with each passing day. The location is excellent, particularly for a business traveler. The rooms are nice and decently sized for Europe. The staff is typical of Northern Europe -- highly efficient and bordering on cold, which suits me fine. The breakfast was good, featuring Swedish standards and proper Scandinavian coffee. As hip and modern as the hotel was inside, the exterior looked like it was made from the stolen blueprints of a Soviet architect. More importantly, the bathroom was soaked after every shower thanks to a poorly designed stall. Between those flaws and the partial conversion of the lobby into a cheesy bar (complete with DJ) about half of the week, I was left pining for a little more substance to go with all the style.
