Best Western Hotel Karlaplan

We had booked a double room for our french friend for a couple of days. A couple of days before their arrival, we checked the booking - it said cellar floor! This was not what we wanted, so we went there to see what to do. A very service oriented person at the check in desk took us to have a look at the rooms on the cellar level. The first one she showed was very nice. She offered directly to reserve it and our friends were very satisfied. The hotel is very well located in a calm area of Östermalm, still very close to the city center of Stockholm, underground (T-bana) sightseeing buses etc. less

The hotel was a surprise, the surrounding area is quite and quite near public transportation. The room was spacious enough for twin beds and it was cleaned on a daily basis. The breakfast was good and the staff very friendly and professional. less

Great hotel. Our room was small, but ok for a couple of nights. The hotel is a distance from the Gamla Stan, but only a very short trip on the metro. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast and there's biscuits, fruit, lollies, cinnamon cake and tea, coffee and hot chocolate available throughout the day. The surrounding area is quite nice to walk around and see a local neighbourhood. There's a large shopping centre above the Karlaplan metro stop, including a supermarket. Stadion metro stop is also close by, so you can take either red line to get to the hotel. less

For the price we payed the hotel provided more than enough. Breakfast was good (only thing I was missing was oatmeal), the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We were in town for Stockholm marathon and for that the location was absolutely perfect (already rebooked for next year's marathon). Only downside was that there was no airconditioning in the room. Usually that wouldn't be a problem in Stockholm but the weekend we stayed it was almost +30C outside and the room got quite hot. less

Very nice staff in the reception as well as in the breakfast restaurant. The rooms are small but comfortable and clean with very clean bathrooms. The breakfast buffet contains everything you can wish including Swedish specialities and lactose and gluten-free options. The closest subway is 7 minutes walk from the hotel and the line brings you to the center (T-centralen) as well as the old town and the south part of Stockholm, "Söder". less
