Overview

Rating: 4 out of 5 Tophers
Hotel Basics
- Nine-story building, 400+ guest rooms
- One of the original Sheratons built in Europe — went through a full remodel in 2026, so everything is fresh
- Very central location in Stockholm city center — about a 3–5 minute walk from Stockholm Central Station
- Convenient for the Arlanda Express airport train or high-speed trains from elsewhere in Scandinavia
Common Areas
- Two-story open atrium at the entrance, accessed through revolving doors
- Check-in area on the right; a small water station just behind it
- Club lounge (for Marriott Elite members or those with purchased access) — serves breakfast plus evening snacks and appetizers
- Separate breakfast/dinner restaurant just beyond the club lounge
- Lobby bar for drinks and light snacks
- Fitness center was temporary at the time of the stay; a new one is expected to open
The Room — Room 727 (King, Club Floor)
Booked a base room, upgraded to this club-level view room.
- Recently remodeled, modern look
- King bed with a single sheet, mirrors in the corner
- Nightstands: complimentary water, USB and USB-C chargers, twist-style light switches, reading lights
- Small leather bench at the foot of the bed
- Swedish-style power outlets throughout
- Comfy single sofa chair, movable to the desk
- Desk in front of the window with one chair and one power outlet
- Window opens for fresh air; view looks out over Stockholm's Old Town (some exterior remodeling visible at time of stay)
- Note: not all rooms have this view — many face the interior courtyard instead, which is quieter
- Minibar area with a Nespresso machine, an Audio Pro speaker, glassware, and paid minibar items
- TV mounted on the wall; decorative green lamp
- Shelf/valet space near the door for wallet, keys, phone (with charger)
- Closet: coffee cup, teapot, hairdryer, in-room safe, sewing kit, vanity kit, shower cap, dental kit, shaving kit, extra storage space, robes, Stockholm-branded slippers, ironing board and iron, shoe horn
Bathroom
- Fully remodeled, floating-style toilet with dual flush options
- Floating bowl sink with a twist-to-control water flow mechanism
- Lighted/magnifying mirror
- Soaps, lotions, and facial tissue provided (tissue not standard at all Swedish hotels)
- Small shower with glass wall only (no bathtub) — both a handheld and fixed rain showerhead
- Solid pocket door on the bathroom
Pricing
- Stayed April 2026 (shoulder/low season): ~2,600 SEK/night (~$240 USD/night)
- Rates expected to be higher in summer
- Reviewer notes the hotel may still carry an outdated "tired, old" reputation on TripAdvisor from before the remodel — expects rates to rise once more travelers discover the refresh
Pros
- Fresh, high-quality remodel throughout
- Excellent central location, close to Central Station
- Great room view over Old Town (not guaranteed for all rooms)
- Attentive treatment of Marriott Titanium Elite members
- Rooms and bathroom notably larger than typical for older Stockholm hotels
- Comfortable bed, generally quiet room, openable windows for fresh air
- Helpful, pleasant staff (offered local tips/maps at check-in)
- Close to T-Centralen (the T-Banan/subway), ~3-minute walk
- Strong breakfast in the restaurant — good mix of hot/cold, American/British/Swedish options
Cons
- Club lounge only stocked during designated breakfast/evening windows — nothing available midday or late night beyond a few sodas, coffee, and tea; lounge also felt small and dark
- Air conditioning didn't get very cold (topped out around 23°C) — though this may be seasonal (April) rather than a year-round issue
- Bathroom shower lacks a curtain or door, just a glass wall — water tends to splash
- Wish list: more universal/international outlets (currently only Swedish type-C plugs)
Verdict
Reviewer would absolutely stay again and recommends the hotel — strong remodel, location, and overall experience outweigh the relatively minor cons.
