Top hotels in Central Stockholm
Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm Central
"Rooms are fairly small but clean. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Choice of a few different sandwiches, yogurt and juice. Elevator was not working properly and felt like it was going to fall apart. Location was good but will look for a different option next time."
