Akalla Vacation Packages

This was my first time in stockholm and did not realize how far out from the city it was. Taxi ride cost me $71 from downtown. Otherwise a nice hotel

Room are a little small for American standards, and there is no fan. But that is pretty standard for hotels in this region. The windows do open though! The bed is comfortable. The rooms are clean. Management is friendly. The free breakfest is good. There is a light rail stop about 3 minutes walking distance from the hotel, and the shopping center next door has a supermarket with affordable prices. There is also an alcohol store, and the hotel has a resturant attached. The local police also monitor the square daily by car and on foot patrol so it a pretty safe place to stay. I would stay here again. Do note that the hotel room does not come with a fridge or way to heat up food, so you will have to eat out alot or eat precooked meals. Which you can do quite easily with so many shops and resturants bring in walking distance.

The room wasn't clean The shelves and the cupboard were dusty like no one has cleaned them before. Also the shelves in the lobby and the lights were dusty. The windows in the room were locked , only two small windows could we open for 5 cm. We requested a fan, they brought it after a 3-time request. The breakfast was good The location was also good , there is a bus station right in front of the hotel and a commuter rail station about 10 min walk.

Here are the things that I loved most about this hostel/hotel: comfortable bed, cozy duvet and nice firm pillows, excellent shower (water pressure and temperature were perfect!), strong flush toilet, ample toilet paper, 2 hand towels and 2 bath towels provided, central location (15 minute walk to Old Town, 20 minute walk to Central Station/city centre), 2 major supermarkets about 300-500 metres away (Willys and ICA), on site Thai restaurant and optional breakfast (I didn't use either during my stay), friendly and helpful staff, free secure luggage storage, WC in the common area, slight movement and rocking of boat which helped me to sleep very soundly/peacefully, city maps, fully equipped kitchen for guests to use (coffee maker, kettle, oven, stove top, 2 microwaves, cooking utensils, pots and pans, plates and bowls, coffee mugs and cups, flatware, 2 massive fridges and 1 massive freezer for food storage etc.), dish soap, drying rack and sponges etc., regular housekeeping and cleaning, strong and secure wifi signal. My only minor complaint about the room was the sink. The tap didn't really line up with the sink, so water went all over the floor when I went to wash my hands. Minor annoyance, but I found the misalignment very strange!

We will most likely stay here again when we visit yearly. Very convenient location, and the studio apartment had all the amenities we needed. The one thing we would've liked is a dresser, or a shelf unit under the TV for clothes or storage of our items.
