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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
