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.
