Strawberry Arena

Strange hotel with very dated carpet and decor, unfriendly and not helpful staff, but good breakfast, which was nice. Note that there is no way to do laundry here--not a service or even machines in the building. When I asked the front desk woman about laundry she told me I could look up a place on Google... very helpful. My room was only cleaned / bed changed twice in 6 nights. The breakfast was the saving grace of this place, and the fact that the room was a decent size and not ridiculously cramped. Wouldn't go out of my way to stay here again but the value isn't the worst overall.

Exceeded expectations by every metric. If you're trying to avoid staying close to Stockholm but want to see the city regardless, the train station nearby couldn't be more convenient. I have been underwhelmed by the home hotel product thus far, Welcome is way better.
