Crystal Plaza Hotel - Stockholm, Sweden 

We LOVED it!

We arrived on a sunny summer evening to an extremely friendly receptionist who announced that we had been upgraded to a suite- which turned out to be really nice. The hotel is very centrally located on the main drag-within walking distance of many of the city's sights. It is a long walk to the old town, but you can also get there easily with the public transportation. The price was very reasonable. The breakfast wonderful. Clean room. Bed very comfortable. T.V. fine. Everytime we asked the staff for something- we got great service. Their tips (on restaurants, bars, etc) were also perfect. In short, I have nothing but good to say about the hotel and its staff. (One minor comment is that breakfast on Sunday does not start until 8 am, and for people who have to leave before that, it is a shame, because they do great breakfasts!).

Excellent location, but........

I stayed for three nights end of May, the Stockholm Marathon weekend. As a result, the hotel was full of Maraton runners from many countries, however, mostly from Finland. I had a very small inexpensive room facing the back yard. The room was pefectly OK, clean, however, with some luggage the room was crowded. The staff at the reception was very helpful. In total, I would say that you really get value for your money. In addition, you get an excellent location with walking distance to shopping and restaurants.
