Was here on business, so the company I was visiting booked me in to this hotel. It was OK. The first room I had was pretty big, the second one was tiny. It's minimalist and with windows right out to the street where the train station was.

Overall, the Sheraton, which I stayed at earlier in the week, was much nicer. This however, was right next to (as in, completely next to) the Arlanda Express, which made an early morning trip to the airport for a flight.

Anyway, the key feature of this hotel is that the Ice Bar Stockholm is in the base. Make reservations and go as it's hilarious. Totally overpriced and not really a comfy place to have a drink, but great nonetheless.

We stayed at this hotel for four days. The room was nice, although slightly small. Our first evening we had dinner at the bar, which was quite good. The bartender was helpful and kind. The fish tank that is in the middle is quite beautiful and adds to the ambiance. The average room rate for us was about 170euros / night. (Granted, we stayed over New Years).

There isn't one thing that makes me not like this hotel, but it wasn't something I was gushing over after the stay. We have stayed at better hotels for less. The hotel was quite clean and catered more towards couples and very young families.

The location is decent... it's close to the Arlanda Express, and the subway is right around the corner. There are prettier areas to stay in (particularly Gamla Stan), but it is helpful to be right at the central station and hook up to wherever you are going.

The breakfast area was well suited for as large of a hotel as this is. There was a large array of sandwich items in addition to breakfast foods like scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt etc. I noticed many KLM airline employees, so this must be a home base for them.

At night there are quite a few people lingering around in the lobby, due to the Absolut Ice Bar, which is located in the hotel. The security seems to be quite good - key cards are needed to use the elevator. Our room was quiet, even with a baby two doors down.

The Nordic Sea Hotel is a fairly uninspiring city-centre block well located for the railway station, shopping streets and not too far from the tourist sights.

After seeing earlier reviews, I asked for a room with a window (a view over a dull flat roof!) - GBP190pn. It was a fair size and came with all expected requisites such as hot drinks, bathroom toiletries, etc, that are often lacking in Swedish hotels.

There is no restaurant and the bar is quite small with very limited food options. The breakfast is okay but the room was very busy and not especially relaxing - there are a lot of businessmen staying here.

I did find all the staff, without exception, rather aloof and unfriendly. The valet car parking was welcome, but quite expensive.

We just returned from Stockholm and spent 3 nights at the Nordic Sea. The staff was very nice and helpful, even though they were very busy at times. The breakfast buffet was nice, however it was hard to find a seat at times. The beds were not real comfortable and be aware that the couch is not a "pull out" couch. It is a sheet over the cushions to make a bed. Overall, the hotel was clean and quiet.

This hotel is located close to the Arlanda Express, which takes you to and from the airport. Otherwise, I did not think this hotel was in a great location. I would have prefered to stay closer to the sightseeing attractions.

The Absolute Ice Bar is great, but very busy. If you stay at the hotel, book your resevation through the hotel, it is discounted.
