We had waited until about two weeks before our trip to book a room in Stockholm which was a bad idea -- almost all of hotels were booked as there was a huge soccer game Saturday night. I found this hotel which had a room for Friday night (I tried to book via their website but it didn't seem secure, so I called and the reception person (Anton) was extremly helpful in booking my room. As our (go figure) plane was late arriving it meant we didn't get into Stockholm until around 10pm (2200). It was raining outside - we were so excited to come out of the train station (arlanda express from the airport) and see the hotel was right there. At first glance the area around it seemed a bit dicey but with it raining we didn't care as we weren't planning on exploring that night -- I don't remember a great deal about the room, as we had to check out the next morning but from what I remember it was fine. Included in room price is a very nice breakfast buffet served in a very pleasant atrium type room. We would have stayed another night but they were booked, so we had to relocate over to the Hotel J in Nacka Stand.

Stayed there for one night, just transitting. when i came, there was no room available yet. turn out their check in time is 3pm. (i thot it's 12pm) so put my stuffs in lugage room. finally got my room, clean, small, as most european hotel is.
the hotel provided some cookies, cake and tea/coffee in the common seating area, which is a nice touch.
other than late checking in, everything else is fine.

Central Hotel is literally across the street from the Arlanda Express station, and located conveniently near shopping and restaurants. The room was spacious by Scandinavian standards, modern and well-appointed. Windows open out onto an interior courtyard so there' s no view of the city but it's amazingly QUIET for a hotel in the middle of Stockholm! We were surprised by the overall niceness of this hotel considering the price and location.

Breakfast is a nice buffet served in the comfortable atrium dining area. Staff were friendly and very helpful, even phoned the airport for us to handle some luggage difficulties.

From what I've seen, you can pay much more for much less (and a long walk or cab ride from the train station) in Stockholm!

Walking distance (with luggage) to the Arlanda express train station. It is built in a quadrangle so none of the rooms face a main road – you couldn’t have a quieter city centre hotel room. Very average breakfast.
