Forthcoming and available personnel, beautiful room and facilities, especially the little, clean and well-curated spa on the 17th floor was my fav. Also, my little puppy was well received and as a special perk she got a bag of nice treats upon our check-in. Our room was on the 10th floor and it was remarkably quiet despite the fact that all around the hotel there are construction works ongoing Monday to Friday. Everything went smoothly and effortlessly. I loved my 5-day-trip and the stay at this lovely Scandic Hotel. Highly recommended!

Nice hotel, clean rooms but a way out the city near the docks. Not ideal for those with kids as it’s a mission to get back on the metro and involves waiting for a bus or a long walk.
Breakfast was also good.

My stay at Scandic Sondra Kajen was absolutely perfect! The location is very close to the ferry— safe, and with very easy access to public transportation. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of options to start the day right. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Stockholm!

We stayed here over New Year’s for one night before taking the ferry. The hotel was very convenient for our plans, and my kids loved their beds. There is a supermarket nearby, but few options within walking distance for entertainment or lunch. The restaurant and sky bar had limited hours and were closed each time we tried, though snacks are available in the lobby. Breakfast offered a good variety of local and international options and was a nice way to start the day. Staff were fine, nothing remarkable. I’d recommend this hotel for a very short stay, but not as a base if you want to explore Stockholm and stay in the city center.

Staff was Good and helpful, no greeting unlike the description though! It was so disappointing to not be able to control the water temperature in shower so I had to stay with my son all the time and try to control water temperature! also it was not so convenient to book the breakfast which I used to just wake up and go to breakfast within opening hours here I had to book the time understanding it also could be because of crowd in near year. Last thing to give negative point is the TV which was no convenient to watch Netflix since you had to use Chromecast which I didn't have time to dig in and install in my phone,,, best thing was prime location and amazing view to Silja Line cruse ship :-)

A nice hotel but with a few drawbacks.
Rooms pleasant and food in the restaurant very good. Restaurant staff very friendly. Excellent shower.
Outside the hotel is a building site at the moment which makes access difficult. The hotel has no parking and guests are directed to a nearby car park which incurs an additional fee payable by app.
The spa is also additional fee on top of the rooms which was disappointing. One of our party arrived in his room to find it hasn’t been cleaned and still had dirty towels and bedding. No apology was offered.

Good location for my business trip. Nice hotel really, comfortable room, nice restaurant and bar, just one major let down for me. No kettle or drinks facility in the room! As a frequent traveller this is a real negative for me and unfortunately something that is becoming more and more common as companies cut costs. A kettle or coffee machine in the room is a basic requirement in any hotel room. When I complained at reception I was told that kettles came with the upgraded rooms! They did find a kettle for me and when I returned from my day the kettle was on my desk but with no cups, spoons or any coffee/tea/sugar. This was a let down.
