The Scandic No. 53 is a hip mid-range hotel located in central Stockholm. The hotel is surrounded by several dining and shopping options, and the popular Drottninggatan shopping street is just two minutes away on foot. The 273 rooms are fairly small, featuring a space-efficient design with minimal amenities, and some don't have windows. The public spaces have more style: a cool restaurant, bar, and lounge area; plus a mini-market sells simple snacks and drinks. Freebies include a buffet breakfast, Wi-Fi throughout the property, and access to a nearby fitness center. This is a pet-friendly property, though only two pet-friendly rooms are available. The hotel's rates for its location are hard to beat, but guests looking for a more cozy boutique hotel can also consider Freys Hotel, with a Belgian-themed restaurant.

The upscale Clarion Hotel Stockholm is a business and leisure hotel that towers over one of Stockholm’s highways. While the Scandinavian art and the modern design throughout is stylish and clean, the 532 rooms are a bit understated and sometimes run small. The Mexican cuisine served at the restaurant and free expansive breakfast impresses many, and perhaps the spa and pool would be more popular if it didn’t cost a fee to access. Many guests are business travelers who don’t mind trading off on a location that’s about a 30-minute walk between the Gamla Stan and the conference and shopping area around the Ericsson Globe. While Hotel Rival doesn’t have as many amenities, there’s a more intimate vibe and its closer to Gamla Stan at a 15-minute walk.

Located in the vibrant party district of Sodermalm, the upper-middle-range Scandic Malmen has a young, hip ambience and colorful wall murals but not a lot of extras. The 332 rooms have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Superior Rooms are bright and spacious and have added electric kettles, and Suites have separate living areas and mini-fridges. But most bathrooms are tiny and wet room-style; Cabin Rooms lack windows; and lower-floor rooms can pick up street noise. With three popular on-site bars and live music, the hotel has a party vibe. Other selling points, aside from the location, are the free organic buffet breakfast, a bistro, and a small fitness center. Travelers could also consider the nearby boutique Rival Hotel, though it tends to be more expensive.

The upscale Miss Clara balances history and the present in more ways than one: it’s walkable to the old town of Gamla Stan, but also around the corner from the metro and the modern shops on Stockholm’s large Drottninggatan Street. As an early 20th-century school-turned contemporary hotel, the boutique property is a lesson in interior design, with an era-spanning blend of styles making for tasteful common areas and guest rooms. The 92 small rooms are missing proper closets and tea- and coffee-making equipment, but have beautifully maintained Art Nouveau windows and sleek monochrome furnishings. Food is wonderful at the restaurant and adjacent pizzeria. Breakfast buffets aren’t included. Noise from the DJ in the bar can be an issue. For slightly more modest budgets, the Haymarket by Scandic Hotel has warmer rooms and similar features.

This upscale, centrally-situated property is housed in historic, 19th century buildings. But with minimalist Scandinavian-style interiors, a bar with gleaming gold-plated walls, and a sophisticated overall vibe, it certainly lives up to its distinction as Stockholm’s first contemporary luxury hotel. Its location near the major Drottninggatan and Biblioteksgatan shopping streets, plus the old town and metro, are also a big draw. Most of the 201 rooms are small and lack tea-and coffee-making facilities, but all have tasteful modern decor, free Wi-Fi, and beautiful marble bathrooms. Alongside the aforementioned Gold Bar, topnotch amenities include two Italian restaurants, an extensive breakfast buffet, and a modern gym and sauna. For slightly more modest budgets, ProfilHotels Central Hotel also has modern rooms and a central location, but no wellness facilities.

The 29-room Stockholm Hostel, located in a residential area of central Stockholm, is a budget choice popular with backpackers and groups. Private rooms and dorms are small and basic but clean and functional, with modern Ikea-style furniture, flat screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms. Some, but not all the rooms, have windows, as the hostel is located in a basement (industrial-style piping blends with the decor). A large and well-equipped kitchen and lounge area are nice extras here. The clean and quiet atmosphere, and a strict no-alcohol policy, make Stockholm Hostel suitable for all ages, including families traveling on a budget.

The Clarion Hotel Sign is a large, upscale chain hotel characterized by sleek contemporary architecture and a young, playful vibe. The location is excellent, opposite an attractive park and with most of the city center easily accessible on foot. Rooms are clean and well-maintained with plenty of space -- apart from the budget-level category -- while some feature great city views. Although breakfast can get busy, the food is generally very good and included. Most impressive is the heated rooftop pool -- a relatively rarity in Stockholm -- and while rates are a little higher than most, this certainly goes some way to justify them.

An open-air courtyard and rooftop terrace provide pleasant spots to unwind while home-cooked items for breakfast are a tasty bonus.
