Freys Hotel

We had an outstanding stay at Freys Hotel. Our room for three was spot-on — spacious, comfortable, and really well thought out. The beds were wonderfully comfy, the shower was powerful, and all the little in-room amenities were exactly what you want after a long day exploring Stockholm. The double glazing deserves its own shout-out too… we heard absolutely nothing from the street. Bliss. The reception team were brilliant from start to finish: warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. You get the sense they really care about guests having a great stay. We also loved the attached restaurant. Breakfast was a proper highlight — fresh, plentiful, and great quality. Hot dishes, cold meats, pastries, baked goodies… the sort of spread where you go back “just for a little more” even though you’re already full. In short: a superb hotel, fantastic staff, great location, and genuinely one of the best city-break stays we’ve had. Highly recommended.

I had an excellent stay at Freys Hotel in November 2025. The property has a charming, traditional feel yet sits in a modern part of town directly opposite Central Station and the Arlanda Express. The location was ideal — close to bars and restaurants but without intrusive noise. My room was spotless, beautifully presented, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were welcoming and attentive throughout. Breakfast offered a good continental selection, though vegetarian options could be expanded. Overall, a wonderful experience and Freys will definitely be my first choice for future visits to Stockholm.

We loved Freys! It was a cute hotel with a great reception. We arrived early and were let into our room as it was cleaned already. The room was comfy with a wonderful view of the city. The room was clean and a good size. The hotel was very central to everything and we had no problem getting around the town from there. I highly recommend.

I stayed at this Hotel 🏨 for 4 days & 3 nights and overall had a very pleasant experience 👍🏻 The location is EXCELLENT, making it easy to explore Stockholm 🇸🇪 The Hotel itself is quite nice with a warm and welcoming Atmosphere. The breakfast 🍳 had everything you need to enjoy a relaxing morning with your coffee ☕️ ! The room was cozy, though a bit small, and clearly in need of a full refresh ; one wonders how long it has been since it was last renovated.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The Staff were friendly, especially the non-Swedish team members, who were particularly welcoming ! 👌🏻 The Gym is well-equipped and has everything you might need for a good workout 🏋🏻‍♂️ (Treadmill, Rowing & Bike Machines, etc.). All in all, if I were to come back to Stockholm, I would definitely stay here again ! Thank you.

Amazing location right by station. We booked the largest room with balcony it worked well for our family of 4 (adult kids) we loved the private hour for our family in the sauna room. The to go breakfast was great to have for our very early train departure. Breakfast was great to have included and there was a good selection of food. Loved our stay!

Lovely hotel right across the street from the train station, and in particular the Arlanda Express train to and from the airport. Also right outside a door connecting to the metro and the commuter trains. You can get anywhere (but buy a SL transit pass).|We had a suite with balcony on the 7th floor. Huge living and dining room, a decent size separate bedroom, a surprisingly small bathroom. But the bathroom was fully functional, had all the amenities we needed. The dining area had a microwave oven, a sink, and dishes.|Good buffet breakfast at the restaurant. Also worth a dinner, especially if you like mussels.

I recently stayed at the Freys Hotel in December 2025 (03/12 - 07/12) a hotel I have stayed at on many occasions, the first time back in 1998. Whilst, I have stayed at many hotels across Stockholm in 30 years, I always like to come back to the Freys Hotel due to its excellent location, friendly staff, fabulous breakfast choices, and comfortable warm rooms. This hotel holds many happy memories for me. I often recommend it to others, and like to refer to it as a boutique type hotel. This is an absolutely wonderfully placed hotel in central Stockholm, close to public transport in all directions, such as the metro, buses, and trams, the latter which will take you to Djurgården where many of the museums are. It’s close to the airport bus and the Arlanda Express is directly across the street. It is also a short walk away from Drottninggatan, where you will find lots of shops and streets which lead to Gamla Stan. I’ve never experienced an issue during any of my stays at the Freys, which is why I return back time and time again.

Lovely hotel that’s a great value. Comfortable and clean rooms and attentive service. Located near all the transportation options, including the express to and from the airport. The traditional breakfast is really nice and there are lots of tasty options. We appreciated the hotel’s commitment to eco programs.

Quaint hotel in the hustle bustle of the central station area. Took me a second to find it but once you do your good !! Great old staple place that's well maintained. Nice front desk service. My room was bigger than I thought it would have been. Nice touches in room . Interesting wallpaper, cute teddy bear on bed, loved the classic old time feel but still clean and new. The bathroom was nice but a little small . Big and tall may have an issue. Shower was definitely small. Liked the heated towel rack though ! Breakfast was included but I didn't get to it as my flight leaving was early and it started after I left. Strange ironing room on another floor as no irons in room. I mean it was there and it served its purpose but you do have to find it! Never seen a room for it before! They give you actual keys and not cards for the doors which was fine except they were big and bulky. My door also required jimmying to open sometimes. Still was a nice stay and served my location needs well. Close to walk to restaurants and the trains. They also had a Belgian restaurant attached to it. Looked busy ! Good for the price I paid Great location.

The hotel lies. I prepaid a room reservation. My trip to Stockholm was canceled by the airline. I contacted Freys hotel 2 days before my reservation date and asked for a refund. They simply told me they were unable to cancel or modify my reservation. They also said my reservation was non-refundable. This cancelation was due to the SAS strike and was no fault of my own. They would even consider giving me a partial refund. STAY AWAY!

Lovely hotel full of old-world charm. Small, but very comfortable rooms. Excellent beds and pillows! Our view was amazing and the balcony was well worth the extra money. It was a fairly private, big balcony with a table and chairs. The free breakfast buffet was delicious! Everything was so fresh and they had a huge variety of items. Downsides: the shower is very small, and no A/C, but overall, a wonderful place to stay.

This place is great. Excellent location, a block from train station and a 15min walk to Gamla Stan for shops and restaurants. Very clean and super friendly staff. The rooms are wonderfully decorated and the breakfast is delicious. Without a doubt I'd stay here again and will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Stockholm.

Nice convenient choice near the Arlanda Express and Central Station. The room is clean, comfortable, and cutely decorated. The bathroom in standard room is a bit small, but the shower is perfectly hot and has good water pressure. Free wifi, good breakfast buffet, and comfy bed. Highly recommended!

The best hotel stay we have had in years. The staff always went above and beyond. The breakfast was great and much more than we expected. The best nights sleep we've had in a hotel for a long time! Thank you Freys!! I can't recommend this hotel enough. I'd advise everyone visiting Stockholm to stay here!

The women who work the front desk are so helpful and kind. They should win an award for their customer service. The hotel was very quiet, which I appreciated. The breakfast buffet was outstanding and impressive with organic and nondairy alternatives. A huge variety of delicious items. My only criticism is there was no herbal tea, which seemed surprising.

This is an excellently located reasonably priced friendly well maintained hotel that I will always check when I make plans to come to Stockholm. Getting There It could not be easier. When you leave Arlanda airport look for the Arlanda Express Train sign, follow it to the unbelievably long down escalator, which takes you right to the train track platform. Twenty-five minutes later walk out the door of the Central Train Station, walk straight for two minutes and you will see the huge Frey Hotel sign. I would highly recommend this route because you will be in your room within an hour after your flight touches down in Stockholm. The Hotel The front desk staff was friendly, helpful and fast. Check-in took about three minutes. We presented our passport, was offered a map, given directions to "Old Town" and opened our hotel room door minutes later. I notice that a lot of the previous reviews mentioned that the rooms were small. Obviously, room size depends on your previous travels but from my experience our standard single room with extra bed was just fine for two people. The room contained two single beds side-by-side, the sleeping area was eleven feet by twelve feet, the bathroom was six feet by six feet, and the room contained a hot pot, small minibar, small closet area, and a reading desk. The flat screen 32-inch television was a welcomed surprise because it had England's Sky News, Aljazeera, and a host of English speaking channels. The Internet was easy to access and surprisingly fast. The toiletries were modest and I would recommend bringing toilet paper because the hotel uses the skimpy single-ply rough stuff! The breakfast was outstanding. The adjoining restaurant serves up a great breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, different breads, fruit and juice. Breakfast is served at 7:30 am and I would advise you to get there at the opening bell before the "folks who hold the bread loaf with their hands instead of the provided towels" show up. Suffice it to say, I noticed a lot of folks with poor buffet manners at work and we were happy that we showed up at 7:25! Location If location is everything then you cannot select a better hotel. It is close to the Central Station, minutes away from the mall and excellent shopping, walking distance to "Old Town" and bars, pubs and restaurants are all around.

Our experience here was great. Although our particular room was small (that's what we reserved, so no surprise), it was extremely clean and exceptionally functional. The location from the Arlanda Express train was ideal!! A verrrrry easy walk, even with our luggage. Last but not least, the hotel front desk staff (of which we encountered probably five different people at all hours of the day) were extremely friendly, cheerful, and helpful.

Not knowing much about Swedish hotels, I was unsure of where and how to book my stay in Stockholm. I've got to say, I could not be more happy with my choice of Freys Hotel. This place was amazing. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, the location was extremely convenient, the food in the restaurant was delicious (we had the free breakfast and paid for an exquisite dinner on the patio), and the overall atmosphere and decor was chic and fun. We especially loved our room, which had everything we could ask for an had a beautiful balcony. I can't think of a single thing that would need improvement. I would recommend this place to everyone and anyone traveling to Stockholm. Thanks, Freys Hotel, for a wonderful stay!

Small but very comfortable rooms - only reason not 5 star Wide selection of buffet items for breakfast Will return -very happy Great proximity to train via pedestrian mall and crossings
