Despite the Hotel being just outside the city centre, the whole of Stockholm is within easy reach. The train to Södra (southern) station (at Medborgarplatsen) takes just six minutes, so you can enjoy Södermalm with its wealth of exciting restaurants, bars and stores (this is where you’ll find small and unusual shops, including a huge range of fashion), along Götgatan, and in the trendy SoFo quarter. If you’re looking for larger stores, take the train to T-Centralen, where the you’ll find the landmark shopping streets of Sergelgatan, Drottninggatan, and the upmarket Gallerian mall. This is also close to Stockholm’s historical and scenic Old Town. For culture, the Old Town is hard to beat, with attractions including the Royal Palace, the Cathedral, Nobel Museum and Riddarholm Church, with origins from the 13th century. Stockholm’s theaters are only a few minutes’ walk from T-Centralen. Tickets for a wide range of sightseeing trips are available from reception.
Stockholm’s entertainment centers on Kungsgatan and down towards Stureplan. Take the train to the Central Station, walk left along Vasagatan to Kungsgatan, where you will find Oscars and the Cosmopol Casino, while there’s a series of nightclubs all the way along Kungsgatan down to Stureplan to your right.

“great value for money”
Had a great stay in this hotel. Its only a couple of stops from the centre of town, and its much more affordable than hotels in the city centre. The room was comfortable and well done, and the breakfast was spectacular. The gym was a bit disappointing, but I went for a run near the hotel and it was fine. Great value for money considering how expensive Stockholm can be,
“Convenient Suburban Stockholm Hotel”
Good location to drive or take the train into downtown Stockholm. Great buffet breakfast.
“Astonishing breakfasts”
The enormous breakfast spread of quality items in a cheery room was a great way to start each day. Rica Talk is right next to the Stockholsmassen, the Stockholm RInternational Fairs and Congress Center.
“Nice hotel to stay at for conventions at the Stockholm International Fairs”
I picked this hotel because it is literally right next door to the Stockholm International Fairs Convention Center. The Alvsjo commuter rail station (part of the Pendeltag line) is within a short walking distance away and only two stops away from the Stockholm Central Station, which takes you to anywhere around Stockholm. Central Station connects with the Arlanda Express train to Arlanda Airport. As for the hotel - well, it was very clean, and the beds and pillows were soft, and the service was very efficient. There was a funky glass shower which had minimal borders with the rest of the bathroom floor, so that water did tend to leak out all over. The rooms have very dark curtains, so if you want to sleep in and catch up from jet lag, you can eliminate almost all the light in the room, which is nice. The complimentary breakfast is excellent, lots of eggs, bacon, sausage, meatballs, cheese, preserved Swedish stuff (fish, etc.), cereal, juice, etc. And oh, lots of crusty Swedish bread. Yep, those Swedes sure like their bread thick and crusty. The front desk staff was OK. Some were friendly, some not so friendly. Since most of them were young Swedish women, they were at least quite pleasant to look at, whatever their demeanor. The hotel has a small workout area, but no pool. There is internet access, and two free computers near the front desk. However, to print out stuff, e.g., your online check-in boarding pass, you have to use a pay computer. Bummer.
“Problematic hotel”
Very far from downtown. Lousy restaurant. No room service. Lounge/ bar very modest. Excellent breakfast. Comfortable, clean rooms. Nice staff. Worth staying here only if one has to be all day at the convention center and only wants to sleep afterwards.
