The room and bed are comfortable. Breakfast was food, but gets boring after multiple days. The hot selection and cheese/cold meat selection were much less varied than other Scandic properties I have stayed in. The breakfast staff was very helpful, kind and efficient.

We have 3 small boys and they enjoyed the playground and our room windows view.
The hotel is near the bus station ( 76 bus number to go in the City Center ) and Ica, best location.
The hotel rooms are smells good and tidy.

Me and a partner were traveling in Stockholm for one night and got stranded when our original lodging got cancelled. We needed something affordable and while it was a bit out of our price range (we had our original lodging for free), the room was only $211 for the night. We were expecting it to be on the lower end of lodging locations but were pleasantly surprised. The room was so nice and the hotel was styled so cool. Awesome amenities AND air conditioning. We highly recommend

Scandic Sodra Kajen is walking distance from the Tallink Silja harbor. Scandic Sodra is very well connected to the city center. There is a bus stop 5 minutes walk from the hotel that will take you to all the central attractions. There is also a Metro Gardet station a little farther away but still walkable that provides great connection to Arlanda Airport.
The hotel room was very spacious, the staff very helpful and courteous. The hotel provides excellent breakfast!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

Forthcoming and available personnel, beautiful room and facilities, especially the little, clean and well-curated spa on the 17th floor was my fav. Also, my little puppy was well received and as a special perk she got a bag of nice treats upon our check-in. Our room was on the 10th floor and it was remarkably quiet despite the fact that all around the hotel there are construction works ongoing Monday to Friday. Everything went smoothly and effortlessly. I loved my 5-day-trip and the stay at this lovely Scandic Hotel. Highly recommended!

This hotel was extremely difficult to get to. It was listed as being only an 8–10 minute walk from the metro, but the reality was very different. The hotel is currently surrounded by an active building site, and reaching it involved walking through a poorly signposted tunnel that felt confusing and inconvenient. We eventually gave up and ordered an Uber, and even the driver struggled to find the hotel.
The location is also much farther from the city centre than we expected, and the views were disappointing.
On a positive note, the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Expedia also handled the situation very well and provided us with a full refund, which allowed us to book somewhere more suitable.
Overall, I would think twice before booking this hotel, particularly if ease of access, location, and surroundings are important factors for your stay.

Really nice hotel. Feel very welcomed from the arrival till check out. Clean beautiful hotel. Love play area and also you can set it as a work place. Love the green plants all over. Restaurant is good, very very delicious food. Loved the breakfast. Such big variety and choises of food for any preferences. SPA is worth visiting, even its with extra charge but highly recommended. Very clean, spacius, you can have foot salt for yoyr foot soak bath, best steam, very humid and hot as should be. Sauna a bit disappointed, cold as for my preference. I used to have saune set on 80 degrees, but here was hardly 50 I guess. You can have water and fruits in relax area.
Room is big, spacius, clean. No tea or coffee facilities, no kettle, so kinda miss my tea during the day if stay in room.
Location is not far from airport or center of the city. Taxi is affordable.
Overall my experience is great, hotel is great and will cone back again.
