I stay in Stockholm once a month and have tried most of the business hotels around the station area. This new hotel is the best of the bunch. Rates are in line with Nordic Sea and Radisson Viking and compares very well, especially while it is new.
On the plus side, the rooms are very good. Small but comfortable and cozier than the average Swedish modern hotel room. Bed is very comfortable. I was pleased to see that they had big pillows (most Swedish hotels have tiny ones - no idea why). However, they are so big that you can't actually put your head on them. This started to be the theme of the place - you feel very impressed on first impression but then disappointed.
For example - lobby is light and modern. But quickly you realise that it is far to small for the hotel, packed with people and so it ends up feeling very claustrophobic. The spa looks amazing and spacious and is around €10 (not much unless you expect it to be free). But when you get in, there is only a sauna and small gym. The "rooftop pool" overlooks apartments and a railway line. Aquavit - which my Swedish colleague assured me was a very cool new restaurant - was just really poor. Shown to an unlaid table, courses arrived before the previous course was finished, plates smashing all over the place etc. Food OK, service very polite but necessarily apologetic.
For the price (around €150), I will stay again. Some issues they can fix, others not. It's a pity - it's newly built and could have been fantastic with a better architect and manager.
