The mid-range Motel L is
located in Stockholm's Hammarby Sjostad district, 10 minutes from
the city center. The 226 guest rooms are decorated in a modern,
vibrant style, and equipped with flat-screen TVs and rainfall showerheads in the
bathrooms. Features include a spacious restaurant and bar area, and
there's also an on-site gym. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, but
breakfast is charged extra. Room rates here are competitive, but the location outside the city center may be a deterrent for some. Another option worth considering is the Mornington Hotel Stockholm City, which has a similarly colorful design and includes a free breakfast.
Scene
Fun and youthful vibe with colorful decor
Motel
L is not a motel at all, but a large hotel occupying a five-story
glass-fronted corner building just outside of Stockholm's city center. The
lobby area is spacious, and its large floor-to-ceiling
windows let in lots of natural sunlight. Most of the lobby is a large
restaurant and cafe area decked out with hardwood floors, boxy leather armchairs with small tables,
and leather sofas running along one wall. The hanging lamps, colorful
wall murals, and big poufs in red and hot pink add to the
vibrant decor. Breakfast is served here, and there's usually jazz music piped through the sound
system. This eco-friendly property uses energy efficient
technologies such as LED lighting throughout the hotel to minimize
environmental impact. Most guests staying here are leisure travelers
traveling together as families, couples, or friends.
Location

L is located in the Hammarby Sjostad district of Stockholm, a short
tram ride from the city center. A tram stop (Martensdal) is located
just outside the hotel. Next door is a large supermarket, and located

Rooms
Compact and colorful rooms with space-saving features
There
are two room types on offer at Motel L. The Double Rooms are small,
but space is used in a smart, efficient way. The furniture is simple
and kept to a minimum, with in-built shelves on one side of the beds and small enclosed wardrobes on the other, plus desks and
easy chairs. The Family Rooms are slightly larger and have two bunk
beds that fold down from the wall or sofa beds instead of bunk beds. The floors are covered in colorful
carpets, and wall murals in pink, orange, and black behind the beds are a fun accent. All the rooms are equipped with air-conditioning,
flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The bathrooms are compact, accented
with chic wall murals, and featuring vessel sinks, walk-in showers
with rainfall showerheads, hairdryers, and free toiletries.
Features
Reasonably priced buffet breakfast, free tea and coffee, and free Wi-Fi throughout

L has only a few extra features on offer. Breakfast is served for a
reasonable fee in the large restaurant space in the lobby and
is made up of a cold continental buffet. Food and drinks can also be
ordered here in the evenings or in the attached bar. There's
also a small shop selling snacks and drinks. The on-site gym is
bright and cheerful, equipped with two
treadmills, one elliptical machine, one stationary bicycle, and a
