Best Western Hotel Karlaplan

The hotel is good. Close to the History Museum, Vasa Museum, Abba Museum and Vikinglav. A bit of a walk to go to the hub of the city, and to Gamla Stan but on the whole it was a great experience. Will go to Best Western Hotels again in the future. less

My wife, 12 year old son and I stayed four nights at this hotel. We enjoyed our experience. Our room was spacious, had good Wi-Fi, several English options on the television, and a very nice bathroom. The breakfast was plentiful with numerous hot and cold choices. The hotel is situated about a fifteen minute walk for the center, but is in a wonderful neighborhood with a plethora of dining options and a nice shopping mall with myriad offerings including two grocery stores two minutes away. Their are two subway stations less than five minutes away. Best of all for us was the staff. The young women who worked at the front desk were extremely pleasant and helpful. They were quick to offer assistance in any matter. Our only negative was our room was not cleaned one day, but the front desk folks brought us fresh towels and even offered to make up our room. It seems that the cleaning service they were using was being replaced in a couple of days and were not on top of their game. Overall, we had a very positive experience. less

My husband and I got this hotel through priceline and it was honestly a little further out than I would have liked. Everything was walkable, I just wouldn't recommend if you're traveling with children or seniors. The neighborhood was absolutely beautiful and close by was a grocery store. The hotel staff was very nice and there is an outdoor area in the back. It's not the most beautiful garden, but it was very peaceful to go outside and read a book. If you're looking to go to Stockholm but not be in the thick of it, I would recommend this hotel. The room was quite small, but we weren't in it very much so it wasn't an issue. less

I really liked this hotel. I especially liked the location and the room. It was nice and quiet, but still close to the city. The beds were very comfortable too. As I had a run event in the early Sunday morning, I was very happy that breakfast was served from 7 to 11 o'clock. How amazing to run 10km, and then have delicious breakfast afterwards. I had read some reviews talking about a poor breakfast selection. I guess they have changed it, or that I am more easy to satisfy, because I thought the selection was great. The scrambled eggs were a bit too creamy for my own taste, but still good. And I loved that they had pancakes. If I have other events in this part of the town, I will definitely come back. less

What was not successful with Hotel Karlaplan, room for 3 persons: - The bathroom's sink was slanting. You couldn't leave your toothbrush glass on the edge of the sink because of that. - There was very little any worktop in the big bathroom; you had to use the floor - The sewer didn't absorb water when you took a shower. There was a lot water all over on the bathroom floor after shower and there wasn't any floor squegees to get rid of the water - The main elevator kept terrible noise and was shaky. They told it would be repaired during this week. What was successful with Hotel Karlaplan: - The room was big enough for three persons - The bathroom was large - The breakfast was versatile and very good. There was a lot of options for people with milk allergies. There were lots of fruit, many kind of bread and cereals, pancakes in addition to normal traditional breakfast food. less
