“Cosy old hotel, centrally located”

The hotel is located not far from the central train station and Arlanda Express. It's a cosy little place with an atmospheric old flair. The staff was not too talkative but very polite, Internet worked once I got a code, breakfast was nothing fancy but not bad either. The room was very nice and clean with an interesting view over the city.

“Very Nice Budget Hotel”

Lodging is typically quite expensive in Stockholm. If you prefer not to spend a fortune on a hotel, then the Colonial is a very good option. Since it is a budget hotel the rooms are small (I was in a single room) and amenities are limited, but that is what you should expect from a budget hotel. The location is excellent. You should be able to walk to any destination in central Stockholm if you choose to do so. The train station is less than a ten minute walk from the hotel. I was on the street side of the hotel, but there is not a lot of traffic so not much street noise. I also did not hear much noise from rooms above or below mine or from rooms on my floor, so pretty good soundproofing. Breakfast was good and plentiful--bread, cheese, meats, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, vegetables, juices and coffee. Staff was friendly and helpful. Sunrise comes early in the spring and summer in Stockholm, so window coverings that do a better job of blocking the light would be nice, but that's a small quibble. I would definitely stay at the Colonial again. Thanks.
