My friend and I stayed for 2 nights at the Colonial Hotel and enjoyed it.
The hotel has been a hostel at some point in it's past and most locals/taxi drivers call it a hostel. Don't let this put you off tho. The place does have a slight youth hostel-ish air to it, but it is clean and in a good location for the subway.
The room itself was bright and airy and well heated. The bathroom is wet room style. Be sure to get a shower early in the morning as there seems to be limited hot water in the hotel - I was left literally blue when the hot ran out moments after I'd shampooed my hair!
Breakfast is self service continental style. The staff are efficient and will help with directions, etc.
All in all, an enjoyable stay in Stockholm, would return. read more
