Cool hotel with lots of history. Stayed here on points so I can't speak to the price, but it was…read moreworth checking out. We were able to check in a bit early which was nice and the front desk guy mentioned he gave us an upgrade due to our Marriott status. Our room was tiny and overlooked the "courtyard," which was just some AstroTurf on the ground, so I'm not sure what a non-upgraded room is, but our room worked out fine just the same. The location of the hotel was terrific and super walkable. The bathroom was small but nice. There didn't seem to be a bathroom fan so it got pretty steamed-up with a hot shower, but I think the mirror was heated as it cleared up faster than normal. Our king-sized bed had two twin comforters, which, as an American, was unexpected but it worked out very nicely by avoiding a tug of war for the covers. There were no USB ports, which I would have expected at a hotel of this level, but that's a very minor point.

Lovely hotel. Great location in the middle of everything. Staff were friendly and the breakfast…read moreincluded in our rate was excellent. The only snafu was a bumpy check-in, where the really sweet front desk agent who checked us in apparently didn't check us all the way in. Seriously how does that happen? We signed, we put up the credit card for incidentals, we got keys, the tv had my name on it to welcome us and we spent the 1st night in the room with nothing seeming amiss, and upon disclosing our name and room number we were welcomed to the breakfast that next morning. But then that day we got a no-show charge via email and worried housekeeping would pack up our belongings with the room showing as unoccupied in their system, so upon our return from that day's interrupted activities we had to sort it out. They checked us in (again) but this time for realsies and they said the no-show charge was the same as the room charge so our 4-night stay became officially a 3-night stay. I'm still not sure if the rate stayed the same but it all seemed more or less fixed at the time... but now Marriott Bonvoy isn't giving me credit for the room night and the points so I'm still dealing with it weeks later which is crazy because we were there. So annoying. But the hotel really was nice. The room was spacious, the lounge was beautiful with an enormous multistory chandelier and the breakfast really was epic. Lots to see via short walks, meals, destinations and transit access in every direction. Nice place.

We walked from the hotel to the Vasa Museum which was awesome. The hotel was great. We had a suite with a huge bathtub and shower. Who really has time to soak in a bath? Well since we had it available and it was cold out, we took baths. They were great and relaxing. The hotel also had a great restaurant and bar downstairs which was great since we didn't want to have to bundle up to leave the hotel. We had burgers two days in a row for lunch, they were really good. The place itself is beautiful and service was great. We went down two nights for appetizers and drinks at the bar which was great as well. No complaints for the Radisson Blue from us.

I came in with my non-Asian coworker and he was helped at the desk while I waited right behind him. There were 3 employees at the front desk. An Italian family came up after me and they were waved over to be helped. I thought maybe the staff just didn't see me but then it happened again. Another European lady walks up and is waved over to be helped. I stepped up and asked why everyone is cutting me off in line and that's when the front desk said "oh sorry about that." After 18 hours of travel, this was a horrible way to start the week. I had a few coworkers staying at the hobo across the street and everytime I walked in to meet up with them, I was greeted by staff. I stayed there last year as well and didn't experience anything discriminatory. I assumed the Downtown Camper would be better since they have a few more amenities in the room such an iron and kettle but this was not worth it. Being treated like you are invisible ruins the entire experience. On top of that, it makes me look at Sweden in a different light. Right outside the hotel there was a group of men that proceeded to yell things like "ni hao Ching Chang Chong!" I expected more from a place/staff that is supposed to be hospitable and welcoming. While we cannot control what happens outside of the hotel, it would have been nice to feel safer in your hotel and free from judgement just because we don't look the same.

They have a bar, workout room, spa area, dining area, this cool neat thing you can lounge in, etc. kind of had a fancy hostel feel, except super expensive. Things to watch out for: adding breakfast with your room is not cheap, 48 USD is what we were told. Rooms are super hot and you don't have access to air and aren't able to turn the heat below around 70 Fahrenheit (and it's only fall, not winter), bar staff wasn't very friendly, we didn't ask for cleaning, specifically said we didn't want it, and someone still walked into our room the first day, terrace tables shown in the ads for the hotel are part of the spa and you can't access them if you don't want to pay, should be clear before hand. We had a good stay here, would say the biggest thing was the room heat issue and we'd wake up sweating each night and have trouble getting back to sleep. But hotel has no major issues, would just expect a little bit more in these areas for the price!

The breakfast was excellent and something I genuinely looked forward to every morning. The rooms are small, but they're charming, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to make decent use of the space. I liked hanging out on the little balcony in the mornings. The best part of my stay, though, was the people. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about making my visit enjoyable. They offered great recommendations for places to visit and were proactive about helping improve my experience in ways I didn't expect or ask for. Their hospitality made a memorable stay even better.

Also, it was easy to catch an Uber from here (Uber here in Europe is awesome - picked up by an Audi or a Mercedes Bens lol). We didn't spend much time in the hotel, just a place to sleep. We came a little earlier than check-in but we were still able to get to our room. Lucky we were able to get a room with a window! Complimentary breakfast was plentiful and delicious! I came up with a list of Swedish foods that I wanted to try and most were present there at the breakfast spread. Especially the meatballs! We were only in Sweden for one day so this came to be very helpful. We booked through United and for one night it was ~$115. We had a really restful sleep and were not bothered by any noise from other rooms. Our only downside was that we did feel very cold at night and that we couldn't regulate the heat.

Reception is very friendly and helpful, from lending umbrellas to booking excursions to providing a warm welcome. Our room overlooked the main street so it meant that we had to have the window closed at night but the air con worked well and was quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were of high quality. Also the pillows were excellent. The decor was clean and crisp, with the school motif being very present but also not overdone. I wish there had been room for a chair, instead the room had cushions to sit on the windowsill which was not ideal. The bathroom was modern and functional, with a good shower and excellent products. Amazingly the mirror never misted, something truly appreciated. I wish, however, that they had provided somewhere to hang damp towels. The breakfast was very good indeed - a wide choice of foods with some excellent Swedish offerings (the beetroot infused smoked salmon was outstanding, along with the lingonberry spread), as well as the usual carbs for Americans. They provided gluten free muffins, gluten free muesli and gluten free bread.

Had few pre arrival emails and communication that were helpful. More emails during my 2 night stay in early October. Front desk staff and all personnel were friendly, cheerful and competent. Location was quite convenient too. Common areas and bar/restaurant are also nice and tasteful. Had drink and appetizers in the bar, and enjoyed it. So, all in all, pleasant boutique hotel. Now to few negatives. No free breakfast as Platinum Marriott Bonvoy amenity, only small discount. The rate was slightly high, but both of those thins are rather minor. The main issue here is a room itself. I didn't care much for decor, bit it is subjective of course. I couldn't get Platinum upgrade and ended up in their standard double room. It was simply too small even for "one of me", and not too well designed to move around. Felt a bit claustrophobic. Please don't tell me that I should expect very small rooms all over large European metropolis, it is simply not true. I travel enough on business and pleasure to know, and stay in many European cities. It was unusually small, that is all. Still, would recommend Miss Clara. If you are sensitive to a room size, pay up for a larger room then, I guess...)))

I would recommend it to most travelers who aren't looking for something more luxury or boutique. It actually does feel almost kind of boutique. The design of place has a usually Swedish austere-ness to it but also feels a bit placed in its own time. It's not modern but it's not dated either. The lobby has warm reds and browns as primary colors but with a lot of light secondaries so it feels unique. The rooms are standard for this class of hotel but again with all kinds of touches that remind you that you are in a design-forward country. The bed headboard is quite tasteful, the coffee machine isn't smeg but it could be with its appearance, and a small speaker system looks equal parts vintage and modern. The staff are very pleasant, the location is very convenient, and the price isn't too bad. Recommended!

Clearly, no expense was spared in the restoration of the building -- every piece of furniture or light was either designer or custom, and the ample accessories/books throughout the hotel were tasteful and included book one would actually want to read. While the gym was sleek but a little bare, we loved the sauna/cold shower room. We did many 2 and 3 Michelin star meals during our week in Europe and our dinner at Ett Hem was one of the highlights of the trip. We could see why almost everyone who stays at the hotel also dines there. The ambiance in the courtyard was terrific. Dishes looked straightforward and were made with fresh, local ingredients, but were powerful and sophisticated in flavors. The only issue real issue we encountered was the AC in our room. It was extremely hot at night, so we had trouble sleeping. My sense is that there was probably a problem with the unit in our room as the public areas did not seem to have the same problem. As we were only staying one night, we didn't bring this up, but it's something I would keep in mind were we to come back during the warmer months of the year.

With six of us traveling they offer a room that has a sofa bed which was perfect for our the two children with us (one child stayed with us) while the other was with their grandparents. The rooms were so spacious for Europe with beautiful parquet floors, comfortable beds, and a well appointed bathroom. Our room also offered a lovely balcony overlooking a courtyard and a view of the river. The location can't be beat for this hotel with convenient access to tram and bus and our first day where we hadn't sorted out public transit we managed to walk from the central station and it was a relatively flat walk. Where this hotel was amazing was the service. We booked this hotel for three days and the gentleman upon check in was so friendly (a Pakistani who had met a lovely lady in Sweden and recognized my Indian parents surname). His extreme kindness helped us start our visit on the right step. We had dinner the first night at the hotel and the food was not only good but the service amazing again. For breakfast we fortunately had familiar faces with a lady who kindly remembered our coffee orders and another gentleman (Channah) who has worked here for 35 years and was so kind and attentive. They all seem to love what they are doing and imparted such kindness that were blown away (we've stayed at nice hotels before like a Mandarin Oriental at Hong Kong) but really impressed how the staff goes above and beyond here.

There are many more pros than cons…read more But before I go further - pardon me for yelling - DO NOT USE THE HOTEL'S LAUNDRY SERVICE. They farm it out and it's a total rip-off. I used it twice, just wash and dry, nothing fancy, maybe 1/2 washer full. IT COST NEARLY US $189. I looked for a self-service laundromat somewhere nearby but couldn't find one. Bring stuff you can wash out in the sink! The pros: -Excellent location; across the street from Central Station and Arlanda Express, you can access the T-bana from the hotel lobby, many buses and trams stop within a few minutes of walking, many restaurants, department stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, a pharmacy, and other shops -Close enough to walk to many tourist spots -Quiet in rooms; I barely heard anything from other rooms, the hallway, or outside -Comfortable beds - not too hard or soft -Tasty breakfast; not a huge selection, but plenty for all types of diets -Sun deck area with great views, lots of seating, and even some exercise equipment -Rooms with and without windows (the latter are handy during the midnight sun) -Great staff -Good quality toiletries (hand soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, bath soap) -Electric kettle in room The cons: -No refrigerators in rooms, a big minus for me -No washers and dryers, and no self-service laundromat anywhere near. Again, DO NOT USE THE LAUNDRY SERVICE THEY PROVIDE -During most of the days I was there, the breakfast space was inadequate for the number of people. On weekends, the hours are extended, so it's not often an issue. But on weekdays, when service ends at 9:30 am, you can barely move, let alone find a seat. Today was impossible; I ended up eating my formerly hot breakfast in my room -No eating or drinking on the sun deck area, which I understand but is also a bummer -Not many TV channels -Some maintenance issues in the room, including a drape that doesn't close all the way, a burnt-out bathroom light that makes putting on makeup difficult, and a HVAC system that only blows cool or cold air, no matter how much I adjust it -Not enough maintenance staff to fix these things quickly -Water leaks onto the bathroom floor at the bottom of the shower; it's a design flaw As I mentioned, the pros do outweigh the cons, which are mostly minor issues. I would definitely stay here again.
