Hotels Near Palmérsparken in Stockholm

We were made to feel VIP from check-in to check-out. The personnel always saw to it that we had what we needed greeting us everywhere (in chorus at breakfast) and giving personal service. They seem to be very proud to be working at Hesselby Slott. We stayed in the South Wing of the castle overlooking the castle grounds. The room was warmly furnished and with a high bed making one feel like sleeping in the royal chambers. We were provided bathrobes and slippers and abundant quantity of personal sized luxury toiletries. Free coffee and tea in both the Castle and in the Orangerie with very nice ambiance. You can choose to sit in the library or other rooms in the castle. Live candles in all public areas. Music played everywhere in the public rooms and on the grounds, even in the parking area. This big establishment felt warmer and more cosy than a cute little cottage. There is a special room in the castle where you can see all the winners of the Polar Music Prize since 1992. In another building, the ”Orangerie” you find the reception, conference rooms , billiards, bar, a music lounge with two karaoke rooms as well as the restaurant where we had breakfast. A lot of thought was placed in furnishing the whole Orangerie and it was also very warm and cosy with live candles. The breakfast was a lot with both warm and cold luxury food. It was also very safely arranged during the Covid times. Food taking areas were spread out and serving spoons were not provided, instead you use a new one everytime. Even if in the early morning breakfast we were only a few, we felt that the hotel did not lower their usual standard and assortment. The chef was very amiable. Parking is free although it is a walk of 200-300m as you need to go over the castle grounds and gardens. We were allowed to drive in to the castle near our room to load and unload. We usually work Friday afternoons in hotels (after check-in) . Wifi was very good. We ended our stay with a walk in the large castle grounds giving us the needed exercise after a week of work from home. This was an excellent stay and we did not need to pay much. We would absolutely like to come back!

My room (121) was very noisy because of the train and a banging metal door in the staircase. I was staying for five nights, so I brought quite a bit of luggage - but the room was so tiny that there was no cupboards or space to put my suitcase. The lighting in the room was VERY dark - I had to put make-up on at work, because there was no ”mirror light” in the bathroom - a basic feature in a hotel room. The breakfast was very low quality - especially the bread, which was stale and ”pre-fab supermarket bread”. There was always too crowded in restaurant, and again lighting was VERY dark. I liked the location, as well as the alternative decor and coziness of the hotel, but honestly the service level, the room features and the food quality more reminded me of a youth hostel. It was not value for money.

A big thankyou to Welcome Hotel ( an extra star to Jonathan and the restaurant staff) for making my extended family feel so welcome (no pun intended;) at your hotel. The cottage/house we rented were both spacious and clean. The washer in the house we rented was appreciated! They loved the healthy and delicious breakfast buffe every morning! Welcome Hotel is close to trains/busses into center city which is always a plus. They enjoyed being so close to Barkarbystaden which met all their grocery and shopping needs. They are already making plans to come back! Thanks for making their visit so enjoyable!

I booked their single room without window, as I both have no need for excessive in-room amenities and also greatly enjoy small, cosy places (this is not a sarcastic statement: I truly loved the tiny room). There was enough space in the room for the bed, an additional cutout for a small desk, and the private bathroom was nearly twice the size of the rest of the room itself. The walls were painted in a dark grey or purple, as were the bed dressings. It was a perfect, cosy little nook in which I could sleep and unwind a little. Their breakfast is pretty standard fare, no complaints nor highlights. I was content with the mini croissants, yoghurt and fruit; though an unsweetened yoghurt option would have been nice (but again, not a complaint). One issue I have however is with the parking fees. It is advertised on the hotels.com website, as well as the English version of the hotel's own site that parking is SEK100,-/day. However, their internal system, and as I later found while verifying, their Swedish website both state SEK150,-/day. I did not follow up on this until the next day as I arrived late in the evening and checked the listings after having checked in. The monetary difference is negligible, however this was frustrating to be presented with at the point of payment and not updated across the platforms this hotel advertises on. When I asked at the desk about it and showed the FD staff the hotels.com and English version of their site with the lower amount, I was given an apologetic look and the professional version of throwing one's hands up in helplessness. I don't expect grovelling nor immediate refunds (I have read r/TalesFromtheFrontDesk for long enough) but at least a mention that it will be sent up the chain of command would allay my feeling of being misled. Parking in any case is in an underground lot accessible via your hotel card key.

A marvellous hotel with mordern infrastructure . Its literally next to the Urisksdal railway station ( 1 minute walk ). Breakfast was marvellous , dinner at the hotel was perfect . The pool was not working duting our visit , it was under some maintanance but we had the chance to use the sauna ( at an extra cost) and it was fantastic . I would definitely recommend .

We spent 3 nights at this hostel. The facilities were good, the bathroom is clean and the bed is comfortable. Our room for the first night could not connect to WiFi, we were disappointed about that. But we requested to change our room on the 2nd day morning and the staff are good to help us with this. Everything here are digitalise and convenient. The common area is large and comfy. There are a few computers for us to use. There are also lockers rental service if you arrive in Stockholm early in the morning before the check in time. The location is great, it takes only around 10minutes to walk to the central station.

The Scandic Upplandsgatan is a hotel with good location but this is way more expensive for the price we pay. The rooms are super small and after paying this much, there could have been a room size where you can at least have a chair to sit. The room doesn't have a chair to sit and there is hardly any space in the room besides the bed. Once you are in room, the only option you have is to lie down on the bed as there is absolutely no other facility and not a chair even where you can check a simple email on laptop. The rooms don't have cupboards for clothes hanging and you have to hang them on the walls around you. I find my stay super congested and was not comfortable at all. The only good thing is the location as it is located at a good location where it is accessible to go shopping and central station.

The hotel is clean and cute. Its location is great, especially if one intends to visit Gamla Stan. It has shared toilets and showers which of course makes prices lower. You get slippers that can be used in the hotel room or for visit the showers/toilets. The shower-room smells a bit of sewer, and that is probably why the windows are open but now in September that makes the shower-room very cold. I tried to close the windows but they are stuck. The same problems with the windows in my hotel room, one is stuck. The window seems too big for the frame. The front desk closes at 21.00/9 pm and no one is present. If you loose the key to your room you are in major problem. On the envelope for the keys there is a warning text that if you loose your key you have to wait til staff arrives in the morning or you will be heavily charged if you want to be locked in right away. But that I had to read on the key envolpe, because the receptionist did not tell me that. The key envelope was so cluttered that the wifi-password was not easy to spot. The tv has only three Swedish channels, nothing else, not even BBC World. Free wifi with password on key envelope - which I had to go and ask where iti was at the front desk, because receptionist did not tell me that, either. But no phones in the room so you have to walk to the front desk everytime you want to ask something. And the receptionist did not give me such vital information so I had to go to the front desk at least three times. The luggage storage is just in the hallway in a corridor by the front desk. At the front desk you can buy coffee, tea, soft drinks, smaller snack bags and fruit. I have not seen sandwiches. I have not tried the ironing service. Staff seem friendly, but I have a sneaky feeling that when I turn my back negativity might surface. I am travelling alone in work.
