This is a new property with a distinct design profile which is still having some teething problems. There are no pillow choices for those with back problems (yet). Keycards keep on de-magnetising which can be annoying for some. Interior design choices are of acquired taste and definitely not for guests with sight impairments as it’s mostly dark with murky tones in brown, orange and wood. Wardrobe space is entirely lacking, which is a big minus and has been replaced with space for minibar, coffee maker and safe. There is however an ironing board and iron occupying the same wardrobe space, which is a plus. Staff is very conscientious, friendly and professional. Elevators are quick and without delay. The views are great from the upper floors. A skybar/nightclub occupies the 33rd floor and music stemming from there at times and on certain party nights can be disturbing for guests staying on floors 26 to 31. As with many newer concept hotels Draken tries a little too hard to please a too broad and generic consumer group, hoping that a catch-all approach may succeed in building long terms guest loyalty, but in this case without having acquired an authentic style or memorable features. It’s a three star hotel trying to behave like a four or five star hotel. Great for a short overnight stay but not an extended stay like ours over five nights.

Excellent hotel right opposite main train station and next door to a huge mall. Lots of trams and busses outside. Double glass doors keep rooms quiet. Excellent breakfast served daily.

The hotel was a beautiful old building, that looked like it always a hotel. The room was the perfect size, no wasted space, bathroom was small but great looking and efficient. It’s close the the train station and the shopping areas, with stores and restaurants just outside. Breakfast was great, really good choice in the buffet. The staff were really nice and helpful, rooms really clean. The only things I thought they could improve is to have comcast on the TV. Most people staying there probably don’t speak Swedish, and would want to play YouTube, instead of Swedish sitcoms. Besides that the place was almost perfect.

Near the museum, clean, well maintained and close to transit. Absolutely worth booking
