Built in 2007, this 144-room hotel is an upper-middle-range option on a tree-lined street in the Vasastan district, northwest of Stockholm’s tourist core. It isn’t within walking distance of top attractions; however, public transit is conveniently close, and the heart of the city is just three metro stops away. Comfortable, contemporary rooms -- ranging from standards to studios with kitchenettes -- have Neo-Baroque flair and, in most cases, Juliet balconies or furnished terraces. But the hotel itself has limited features: for instance, there’s no on-site restaurant or workout room. On the upside, a gorge-worthy breakfast buffet is included in the rate, and guests are given free access to a nearby fitness center. Travelers wanting the reassurance of a brand name closer to the city center can try the three-and-a-half-pearl Radisson Blu Strand Hotel instead.

A solid mid-range property, the 42-room Maude’s Hotel Enskede offers a pleasant, clean, and comfortable stay outside the city center, but few extra property features. Accommodations, which include single- and double-occupancy rooms, have wood floors, desks, flat-screen TVs, and stuffed animals, but bathrooms are dated and there’s few extras (no mini-fridges or electric kettles, for example). A simple, free breakfast is served daily in the lobby, spilling onto a charming deck and wraparound porch in the warmer months. The residential area is pleasant and quiet yet accessible to the city center -- it’s a three-minute walk to the metro, and 15 to 20 minutes into the city center. Travelers looking for a little more quirk and something closer to the city center might consider the Malardrottningen Hotel and Restaurant, though rooms there are smaller.

Hotel Riddargatan is a mid-range chain hotel located on the edge of Stockholm’s city center, within walking distance of Old Town and within easy access of numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions. The 58 rooms are colorful, but haven’t been updated since 2002 and lack air-conditioning. Still, they have great perks like flat-screen TVs, minibars and coffee- and tea-making facilities, and a few even come equipped with free weights. Hotel features include a small library room, a cozy bar, and a free hot and cold breakfast buffet, but interiors throughout are a bit bland. Another option to consider could be Freys Hotel, which has upscale interiors and a Belgian restaurant on-site.

The Clarion Collection Tapto is an upper-mid-range, 140-room hotel situated in a leafy and largely residential neighborhood a 10 minutes' drive from the center of Stockholm. Rooms are clean and sleek (if simple) with free Wi-Fi . Some have balconies, but some are quite small and bathrooms are underwhelming with tiny shower stalls and green tiling. Free breakfast and dinner is a real bonus, and fitness facilities are impressively modern. If the location isn't an issue, this Clarion is a solid pick, though for a more central setting check out the Clarion Hotel Sign, which also has a pool.
