Scandic GO, Upplandsgatan 4

Having never stayed in a Scandic before and having seen other reviews I wasn’t expecting too much, just a budget hotel. But this place really exceeded my expectations. When we booked it was still just a Scandic, but at some point changed to a Scandic Go. No breakfast was then on offer but we were told that in advance and received a partial refund for that. We didn’t miss the breakfast as there are so many fantastic Stockholm breakfast spots on your doorstep. The rooms seemed recently refurbished with modern and clean bathrooms. Rooms are relatively small but all you needed. Clean and comfortable. We were even able to open the upper windows in our room which a lot of hotels don’t allow - there is no air con so this was helpful. Very helpful reception, we actually had 2 separate bookings as booked a few nights and then added another on later. They were really helpful in connecting the bookings so we kept the same room. Cafe in reception is also handy for any quick food you might want without venturing out. There is also a water filling station. Also lockers for storing bags. Overall we were very impressed especially for the cost. City centre location, very close to all attractions.

Very near the main central station and public transport. Tourists spots are all walkable distance from the hotel. The receptionists are very friendly. The breakfast they provided for customers are amazing (I recommend to be there are 8am, after that hour it's sort of like rush jour and people keep coming to the restaurant for breakfast and will be hard to get a seat). I like their Swedish meatball the most! The design of the room and the toilet is ergonomic, they use every possible spaces available!

Modern, simply-decorated rooms in a well-located hotel. Very clean bedroom and bathroom. Comfortable bed. TV in room, and I was able to get BBC World News. Great breakfast included in the (very reasonable) price, with continental and cooked food available. Very friendly and helpful desk, breakfast and cleaning staff. Left luggage lockers available at no charge. Only a 10 min walk from the Central Station. Bars and restaurants within a short walking distance. I'd definitely stay here again.

Upon arrival, the staff informed me that they would not be cleaning rooms daily but upon request - to be more environmentally friendly, which I loved. If you needed anything or wanted a clean, just give them a heads up the night before. The room was very practical - loads of hooks on the wall to hang pretty much everything, which was fantastic. They have under-the-bed storage (which is needed because the room was very small) and space in the bathroom to hang towels and put your things. The bed was super comfortable. Lovely big windows, elevators for easy access. I think they also offer luggage storage, at least I saw lockers downstairs. However, with the check-out time being 12pm, I didn't need that. The front desk staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. They have some leaflets and brochures about attractions and are helpful when you need information about the area. The location is great for shopping in Norrmalm. It is a bit of a hike to get to Gamla Stan (the old town of Stockholm). However, if you don't mind walking, it's great.

the location of the hotel is very good. it's very close to the central subway station which allows you to go wherever you want in stockholm. also, it's quite close to the city center by walking. the bedroom and the bathroom are quite clean. the staff were sincere and very helpful. the breakfast was really good. you can start your day with good quality food.
