Cheap low class hotel. Not coming back

It’s a shame how a hotel with good rooms, manages to rip itself from all good customer service. Every thing is a do it your self service. No phone in the room to call reception. The lobby is equipped with vending machine like a student dorm. Dental kits for extra charge. Must be a joke. I am sure that the extra 1 euro is an absolute necessity to keep business running.

Det var väldigt bra att fira nyår på Scandic Södra i Stockholm. Frukostar vara jättegott och alla mat var friska.Rekreationsområdet var festligt utsmyckat. Barnen var inte uttråkade eftersom de kunde springa och leka. Det är synd att vi inte hann besöka bastun, för allt var uppbokat. Men våra familj var nöjda med resten i hotellet.

Beautiful hotel. View of sunrise was gorgeous. My mistake, I booked us here thinking that it was the closest to our ferry but I had the wrong line so it was a taxi ride to get to the Viking Terminal. Absolutely nothing against the hotel, it was fantastic, the mistake was mine.

It’s my last night in Stockholm, and I only stayed for one night as I had an early flight to catch. You can tell it's a very new property with a great design. The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely water view, and it was nice and quiet. The location is decent, though it’s about a 10-minute walk to/from the metro. It’s only three stops to the central station by metro, which I found quite convenient. They also offer family rooms, which are perfect for my friend's family with 2 younger kids. The only minor inconvenience was that there was no coffee maker or tea kettle in the room, nor any facial tissues. It’s fine for a one-night stay, but if you’re staying longer, that could be a little inconvenient. The breakfast was fantastic, there was a wide variety of freshly baked bread, hot dishes, drinks, and even a dessert station. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay.

Hotel on its own is beautiful, but on location that substantial building work/ road work are happened around it. Hotel is nicely designed and decorated. It’s family friendly with play area and relaxing area. Kitchen staff are particularly welcoming and friendly. However we are disappointed as there’s no kettle in our room, we could not make a cup of tea or coffee when we need it. Neither face tissue, we ended up with an extra toilet roll when asked the front desk. Room was not clean for once for the 3 night we were there, even after I requested at the reception. There’s no telephone available in the hotel room, you had to make your way to the reception if you need some dry, fresh towels, etc. I found it very inconvenient.

My boys favourite hotel! Awesome breakfast - not just range and quality but keeping full with so many people. Also great games area. Was surprised that the spa facilities were chargeable though - SEK 250 per person. A bit away from the centre but good bus route every 15 mins
