If you want bedbugs (vägglöss) and staff management that dont care, this is the place to spend the night.
This is what they offer when spending the night there with 2 infants, the night before flying outside the country.
The room was full of bed bugs that crawled out at night and bite everybody in the room for their blood.
Bed bugs is a real real hazel to get rid of if getting it home.
So we had to wake up in the middle of the night and leave the hotel. And the only thing the management could say is “sorry, this could happen”.
We flied to Greece in the morning and had to spend almost 2 days to clean all of our clothes and luggage. And had everybody had their body’s full of bite marks, including our small infants.
After coming back home the first thing we did in the airport was to change clothes and put everything we had, suitcases, stroller etc in plastic bags before putting it in the car. And drove straight to the laundry. And also laundered everything again the day after. And put stuff in the freezer.
Even after all this we are strongly believe that there might be some that came along to our apartment. And we had called a pesticide company to check the apartment.
If getting this in the apartment it will be a he*** to get rid of them. And normally you have to sleep in the apartment to attract them to come forward. So you have to use yourself as a bait. Really funny, especially when having a 6 months old baby.
The management don’t cover anything except the cost for the room for the night and they totally ignorant.
So if checking in here make sure to check every inch of the room or don’t check in here if you don’t want to go thru this. less

Hej Tommy,
We are sorry for what happened during your stay here at Arlanda Hotellby.
Anticimex is a company that helps fight bedbugs, this is a problem that all hotels around the world have and we have an agreement with this company.
We use Anticimex and their service of specially trained dogs looking for bedbugs.
A trip to warmer countries or to the mountain hut can be a pleasant relaxation. However, the increase in the number of sanitization of bed bugs suggests that more and more people bring home bugs home from the holiday, six out of ten Swedes travel abroad every year, according to statistics from the newspaper Vagabond. International trips often involve temporary accommodation, which increases the risk of getting away from home. In recent years, the number of decontamination of bed bugs has increased in the country. Anticimex implemented 15,121 sanctions in 2016, which was an increase of as much as 20 percent compared to 2015. Bed bugs often follow in the packing home from the trip. They cannot jump or fly, but move by raising objects and walking shorter distances indoors. During the dark hours of the night, the bedbugs come out and seek out a suitable host, often a sleeping man, whom they can suck off. In the absence of food, a bedbug can go to sleep for up to one year. - Do everything you can to avoid getting bed bugs home. If you have received bed bugs, you need professional help to get rid of them.
In recent years, specially trained dogs have been used to find bed bugs. The dogs are often used preventively and can quickly search through for example entire rental properties, hotels and student accommodation. - With a lure dog we get 97 percent accuracy in finding the small insects. The dog has a superior ability to feel weak scents, such as the smell of a single wall loop.
Once again, we are really sorry!
