The hotel and staff were great all round. The location is undergoing major construction work all around which lowers the ambience of the hotel. This is outwith the hotels control. It is approx. 10mins walk from Finland ferry terminal and a pleasant 20 minute walk to the cruise terminal- I did this walk.

I highly recommend this hotel! The rooms are large, the hotel very clean, and the service desk was excellent with their advice and help. They allowed us to store our luggage on the last day for free. It is important to note, that not all Scandinavian hotels allow you to regulate your room temperature, but this is available at this hotel! Very important should the weather be hot and muggy. The breakfast is excellent and included both a hot and cold buffet which had eggs (both scrambled and boiled), meat balls, bacon, beans, Swedish pancakes (with jam and whipped cream), and a huge assortment of cold cuts, cheeses, pate, breads, oatmeal, coffee/tea and juices + more. Some have criticized this hotel because it is not directly downtown and that there is a short walk to the metro station. However, they have not noticed that there is a bus stop one building over that takes you directly downtown. Since there were 3 of us, it was cheaper to take an uber downtown instead of paying 3 bus tickets and we were at all our downtown destinations within about 10-12 min. There is some construction outside the front door as it appears that a pier is currently being built, but this is not a hindrance. There is also a full grocery store in the next building - not a mere corner store, but full-sized groceries having anything you would ever want to buy, including a fantastic hot/cold buffet that you can pick up and bring back to the hotel. I recommend this hotel very highly!

Cheap low class hotel. Not coming back

It’s a shame how a hotel with good rooms, manages to rip itself from all good customer service. Every thing is a do it your self service. No phone in the room to call reception. The lobby is equipped with vending machine like a student dorm. Dental kits for extra charge. Must be a joke. I am sure that the extra 1 euro is an absolute necessity to keep business running.

Det var väldigt bra att fira nyår på Scandic Södra i Stockholm. Frukostar vara jättegott och alla mat var friska.Rekreationsområdet var festligt utsmyckat. Barnen var inte uttråkade eftersom de kunde springa och leka. Det är synd att vi inte hann besöka bastun, för allt var uppbokat. Men våra familj var nöjda med resten i hotellet.
