We travelled for a couple nights to explore Stockholm on our way through to Finland. We had an amazing stay at the Scandic Continental.||The hotel itself is right across from the Central Train Station which is very convenient when arriving by train or when taking the Arland Express from the Airport. We arrived from Oslo via train and ended up departing the station on a raised street. The hotel is in a lower street (below the bridge) and there was no entrance on the top street level. Once we realized this, it was a quick walk around the hotel to go through a side street alleyway to get to the front entrance of the hotel. If arriving by train, make sure to exit the station at the main doors, as the hotel is just a quick walk across the street then.||Check in was quick and efficient. The hotel was quiet and the room was well appointed. The windows don't open but the air conditioning was fantastic. The room itself was large enough for the bed, a desk, a chair, and side tables. The washroom was a good size with heated floors and a nice large shower. The room also had an iron and boards as well as a safe. ||Breakfast was included in our stay and we were very pleased with the offerings. They had fresh breads, cold cut meats, veggies and salad, weiners, bacon, eggs, potato patties, meatballs, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, beans, oats, pastries, and cheese. They also had a selection of juices (lingonberry was delicious) and filter coffee and tea.||The hotel also had a roof top terrace bar that was hopping even on a Tuesday, and was a great place for a drink after a long day exploring Stockholm.||The hotel is walkable to all the sites we set out to see. Being only a 20 minute walk into the heart of old town (the palace and Nobel prize museum) and a 45 minute walk to the island with parks and museums (Nordic Museum, Viking museum, spirit museum etc). The harbour is a quick walk and the shopping is plentiful in and around the hotel. Many restaurants were available, including a nice Swedish Restaurant a quick 10 minute walk up the road.||The staff was amazing as well. We had an issue at check out where someone had mistakenly charged drinks to our room and the staff was quick to sort it out for us. We had an amazing stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Stockholm!
