I cannot sing this place praises enough. For such a popular destination, the amount we paid for the…read morehotel was very little. We paid a little less than $100 dollars a night and we were there for 7 days. Very clean, newly remodeled dining room. Very helpful staff and always willing to help with suggestions and taxi ordering. They give you a key card that allows you to access your door as well as the main door and the secondary access hall that gets to the elevators. Very safe and close the train and bus station. It will take about about 45 minutes to get to Stockholm from here as you will first have to take the bus and then the Metro - but it's completely worth it. I believe they deserve to be a 5 star hotel. If you're an early rise and love nature, if you go behind the hotel and keep walking down the street (away from the hotel) you'll find a very large meadow that has a path you can take through the woods and brings you right back to the hotel. Would recommend - 10/10 would book again.

The only frustrating thing about Görvälns Slott has to do with their sometimes haphazard hours. One day we walked the 40 minutes through the forest to find that they were not serving anyone but their guests bc they were short-staffed, despite proclaiming on their website that they were now open until 10:30pm, in line w/ the newly relaxed COVID restrictions. Today, we rowed a boat over in the beautiful, warm summer day only to be told that only guests with dinner reservations were able to have a glass of wine on their immense/predominantly empty patio. Such a bummer! Apparently, this is only a Sunday policy(?). There was a fika station out on the terrace selling coffee/tea/refreshments/chokladbollar, etc. Since the opening/serving/drinking rules seem to shift with the tide, I'd recommend calling in advance to verify whether you can be served. With such a wonderful terrace, it's a shame not to be able to casually drop by and grab a drink. The restaurant serves amazing food, btw. I love this place.

Really, really lovely hotel, looks newly built, so everything is modern, from the design to the…read morespaciousness, to the number of electrical outlets, including an outlet near each bed, with a small nightstand to put your phone, etc. A nice workspace/desk with chair also included. My only complaint was the lack of clothing drawers, and minimal closet space. Like, there was maybe 5 hangers with maybe 1 foot/25cm of width to hang clothes, and no luggage rack. That said, these were minor issues, and between the desk, and other surfaces, where was room to put our stuff out without putting it on the floor. The breakfast on the fourth floor every morning is fantastic. Not sure if every Swedish hotel does this or what, but there were multiple buffet stations, with every from eggs+bacon+pancakes, to a yogurt station, to an entire table of bread + butter, with multiple juices/coffee options, a separate fruit station, and the list goes on and on and on. The location is excellent if you want to go to the Friends Arena, or the Mall of Scandinavia (with lots of food options, both fast or sit-down, all of which are within easy walking distance. The Solna station (Pendeltag/commuter train system) is about a 12-15 minute walk away. Tip: Ignore Google Maps and walk through the Mall to get to the hotel if it's very cold outside. Bathrooms: They are bougie, with a nice design aesthetic, with plenty of bathroom countertop space to place things. Not sure what the other review was talking about with the shower compartment not being completely enclosed; our shower had a glass door, and minimal water spilled into the room. Oh oh! The flowers are heated! So nice.

It's also conveniently located next to public transport and my office. Rooms are nice with views specially on the upper floors. It's a very tall hotel with 25 floors. The only drawback is the absolute lack of closet space and the shower enclosure with nothing to stop water from splashing all over the bathroom floor. Staff are nice and there are restaurants on the 4th and 25th floor. I did not go to the 25th floor restaurant but did have breakfast at the other restaurant. As breakfast is always included get to the breakfast restaurant soon as it's a zoo after about 8am. Food is ok nothing special. I am sure I will be back here again. It's one of a handful of hotels close to my office in the area.

The Rica Talk Hotel is located in one of the southern suburbs of Stockholm. Note that it is not (as…read moreone previous review claims) located along one of the subway lines. It is however located close to the commuter train station Alvsjo. It is around 10 minutes by train from the central station but it is worth noting that the commuter trains do not run all night (the subway does) and in winter time the commuter trains are notorious for being late. Still the location is OK. If you are going to the fair it is located in connection to that so then it is an excellent location. The hotel itself is fairly new and it has a Scandinavian feel to it with light colors. The hotel staff were all very helpful and very polite. Check-in was very efficient and they made sure to ask if I wanted the Internet password. The room was also fairly nice and had the same type of design as could be seen in the lobby. Decent size as well which is nice for those who stay longer periods. Most things are fairly standard in the room; wireless Internet, TV, desk, a few chairs, 'minibar' (or at least some snacks, drinks etc - do note that there is no fridge so the drinks are not cold), water kettle, iron (very difficult to find) etc. The bathroom was also nice, no bath tub but I only stayed for one night so no problem. The only thing that annoyed me and I am actually not sure what they were thinking was the fact that they provide soap, shower gel and conditioner but no shampoo. For me it would make sense if they did not provide conditioner but still just a minor issue. The breakfast was great. Large selection of both hot and cold food. Numerous different types of bread (and even some sweets and pastries if that is your thing). The best part was without a doubt the juice/smoothie bar where they made fresh juice and smoothies. There was also an excellent selection of different newspapers. If I would have known that the breakfast was this good I would have made sure to have some more time to spend there. To summarize the hotel is a great choice for anyone who do not mind being based a little bit outside the city. The rates are rather low when there is not a fair going on so it is possible to stay at this hotel for a fairly good price.

Super convenient location!…read more Located a few steps from the trade fair (convention center) and the commuter line to downtown Stockholm, this hidden gem is really convenient. The rooms are clean and spacious. The staff is friendly (and speak English too!) and the breakfast is varied. If you're looking for vibrant nightlife, you won't find it here. But the train is just a stone's throw away, so take yourself to town and have a ball.

This was a delightful place to have a "Stay-cation" at!! The rooms were surprisingly beautiful…read more They were quite small, but wonderfully decorated! From looking at the fire escape plan it looked like ours was one of the largest rooms (and one with a bathtub.) Considering how small our room was, I would not want to go any smaller. I highly recommend you put in a request for a larger room! I wish we stayed two nights and had enough time to use some of the amenities. They had a sauna out on the lake in the front that you could use. There was also a spa that you could pay for services at. They had a nice game room and lounge with an ok mix of old and new decor. I think it could have used a little better restoration and design in some places, but overall it was pleasant. Most of the really nice artwork and details in the castle are in the conference room area. We discovered everything by sneaking in and walking around. There is also a nice looking wine cellar that you can book in advance. I think they also have an evening bar or cocktail area (that we never made it to due to a late check in!) The layout of the restaurant was not the best. I kept feeling like where they choose to put everything was not as user friendly or logical. They put the kitchen and the buffet across the entrance hall from the seating area. You could see the kitchen through the front windows of the main floor, which is not very proper. The whole food collection area for breakfast was in a hallway--which, of course was tight and crowded. But, thats a designers perspective, maybe other people don't care so much about those details. One other thing about breakfast was that the cook couldn't keep up with the demand, so over half of the food choices were out (and only replenished 15 minutes before closing time.) It was a good thing we were moving slow and enjoying ourselves because I would've missed out on a few things. Breakfast was really good though! I do have to say that!!! I loved the decor, but I could see a little to be desired in some small places that bugged me. The entrance was not as lavish as the castle's history should demand. The bluish "club lighting" was cheesy and needed to go. It looked like the area with the mini-bar in the room could have used a little TLC, it had watermarks and scratches all over it. The towels were stringy, old, had holes and needed serious replacement. The pillows were HUGE! My neck was killing me the next day. I wish they had smaller more normal sized ones behind the "presentation" pillows. I also didn't like how you could see the gas station behind the castle, it kind of ruined the ambiance. There should be a better landscape of trees or something to hide that. There was also no real outdoor area or gardens to enjoy like you usually come to expect at a castle. Even a small area would have been sufficient. There was also no gym. I find that strange for a hotel not to have even a small facility for use. Overall, I had a really good experience here. I would recommend someone to take a little wine and dine style spa weekend here. Or, in a more official capacity, hold a work conference here. I do think that there are nicer, bigger and more extravagant castles in Sweden you can stay at, but this one is convenient being so close to the city and the Bromma airport. It's a nice quaint little "get away" without really getting away.
