Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Scandic Grand Central enjoys a fantastic location, just a short walk from both the Arlanda Express station and Stockholm Central Station, making it easy to explore the city. Many guests appreciate the hotel's blend of historic exterior with a modern interior. The rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast receives positive feedback for its wide variety, including gluten-free and lactose-free options; however, some found the room temperature difficult to regulate, even with a fan.

mixed feelings

convenient locationsmall roomsbreakfast quality
the location is very convenient to the station.
I found the rooms quite small (for the price), and navigating the corridors seemed like wandering through a maze to find my room. breakfast, while acceptable, did not particularly impress me. the gym also left something to be desired. Its size was comparable to that of a small hotel room.

The location was AMAZING, it was really easy to access local shops. Breakfast had a wide selection. I ESPECIALLY enjoyed the fresh pastries. The reception staff were always helpful and quick to assist with any queries.
The room ventilation was not working correctly. This caused some discomfort during the night. I found the room to be quite small. There was limited space for luggage. The cleanliness in some areas was lacking. I noticed some dust in the corners.
