Alexandra Hotel - Stockholm

Exactly as I expected from the description. No frills, but staff were very helpful and was great value. Ideal location if you want to spend time on Gamla Stan/Sodermalm.

I am a avid travler and do not fuss about small things in the EU. But here is a few things about the hotel. I am listing everything not nit-picking just so you can prepare. 1. Dirty bathrooms. Mold, rushed cleaned, badly mopped and very old fixtures and wood. 2. no shampoo, wash clothes and 1 very overly used old thin towel. 3. no cups in room 4. 9;30 end to breakfeast....but they shut the door at 9:00 sharp! and food is very spartan 5. NO FRONT DESK HELP. Very short and not bothered to assist you with anything. 6. Beds are very old and hard and questianably clean. 7. The walls in my room were stained with "dripping" marks from something? food or only knows what. 8. TV only 3 channels if your lucky 9. pillows are older and very flat 10. Im not sure how its a 3 star even by the EU standards its maby a 1 star. *please note. I travel alot in the EU and for the price of this hotel its kinda rip off. I can adapt and overcome most things but this puts a damper on any trip.

We don't recommend this hotel for summer stays, if at all. We asked to get moved from teh first room because it was extremely hot, with the sun beating thru the windows, and no air conditioning. After much rangling,they moved us to another room, warm, but shaded by a big building. There are 3 large windows that should open to cool the room. However, they swing inward, and the drapery rods block opening them more than about 8 inches. It took many hours for the room to cool off before we could sleep. That happened every day. Leaving the drapes open for fresh air meant that everyone walking by on the sidealk could look in. Most of the rooms are at groud level and have this feature. We moved to the second floor for privacy - but that really is on the back side of the hotel, up a narrow spiral staircase, and is at ground level for a couryard, again, with people who could look in. The elevators are there, but haven't worked in a long time. We could not find a place to sit at breakfast. Very limited seating for the size of the hotel. We carried our breakfast back to the room. The hotel manager than proceeded to tell us we couldn't do that, and went into telling us that: 1. Americans can not rule everywhere 2. We have an attitude 3. The meal is free, and we should get up earlier to eat it, or not eat it at all 4. You get what you pay for, and this is a Hostel, not a hotel (News to us), so we should leave and pay more if we wanted more The next morning, he proceded to give us an unsolicited wake up call at 0630, 0700, etc. so we would wake up earlier to have breakfast before ruch hour. Great on jet-lag. The hot rooom conditions will go away during other seasons, but I doubt the managers attitude will change.

Some facts during my stay at the hotel Alexandra. 1. I received a room and a service during the breakfasts after my expectation. 2. The service of the reception was unexpected: - I came to the hotel at 11:30 h; the reception boss (Swedish person) responded my salutation with the words: “You are too early” (please note I had not any claims to enter earlier to my room); - the same person did not answer my salutation in English “Good morning” on the last day (he said me something in Swedish and after 5 min of talking told me it should be Good morning, too) – of course I could not understand what he said in his language; - the central electrical lamp in the room burned away – I informed the reception 3 times but I had to wait about 1 day to be changed; - I waited about 1 day to be repaired the air-conditioning installation of my room, too (please note I was in a room without window). With two words – the comfort in the room was over my expectations, the service of the reception (mainly of the reception boss) – not. I did not expect so negative position in Sweden - I found excellent organization and service during my business trip in Stockholm.

The only acceptable thing is hotel location -- it is 15 min to walk to the center. All the rest: poor hotel room, room cleaning (they ‘forgot’ to make up the beds and change towels), very restricted breakfast (bread, butter, ham, cheese, coffee) -- are of a low quality. One more good thing which is important for somebody is the great private sauna.

Excellent location 10 minutes walk from the centre, breakfast was more than you could eat.Staff extremely friendly and helpful with advice.

Stockholm is on the expensive side, so I booked one of the cheap windowless rooms. I arrived by overnight ferry from Helsinki, also in a cheap windowless room, so it was similar. [I preferred the room on the ferry.] I only care about a place to sleep, however, so it was acceptable. The main issue was the shower, which is annoying to operate. You turn on the faucet in the sink and pull out a "lever" to activate the shower, repeatedly as it kept shutting off. The space is tiny, so the shower curtain will stick to your body and water gets all over the floor. Some, but not all, of the staff at Reception were indifferent. On the plus side, a typical breakfast was included and they even had soymilk available. Wireless Internet access was included. The location is a 5-minute walk from the main plaza on Sodermolm island, the metro station, and the Stockholms Sodra train station you can take to/from the airport. Overall, it was acceptable as long as you realize you will get what you pay for.

Ask them for directions?Ha.... They present as if they are to busy to deal with your questions and that your annoying them. Hotel is not worth visiting if your new to Sweden. They don't tell you about the ammenities the hotel has to offer (missed out on breakfast the whole stay due to lack of info) and are very quick in respones. There are plenty of other hotels for better prices with much better locations....

The hotel is situated in a more residential and quiet part of the city. However, there is a one-stop train connection to Central Station and two tube lines serving the area. Also, the Gamla Stan is a 25 minutes walking distance. That means that the location of the hotel is very good. The rooms' size is very good and they are clean. In total, I found that for money spent the hotel was amazingly good.

5 minutes from the T. Staff is available 24-7, but some staff appeared to have not wanted to be disrupted from whatever they were doing (i.e. watching tv)Also, this is a one story hotel, however, it is very long. You might expect to walk for what seems like forever to your room.

Best part is the easy access to public transportation, just one stop off the train line from central Stockholm. Rooms are clean and breakfast is good. Single rooms are very small, but it is an overall good deal in an expensive city.

The rooms are very small, hence the low price. Breakfirst buffet was good. Housekeeping every day. You stay here primarily for one thing. The low price.

This is a simple basic hotel but is really great. very clean, comfortable and has everything needed. good room, ok breakfast and 5 mins walk to the underground station. is very close to the city, only 5 mins in to the centre on the train and is walkable to

The double room was large (by European standards)and very comfortable. Location was convenient to the T in a quiet neighborhood. The staff was friendly and the breakfast very good. We would definitely stay there again and feel it was an excellent hotel for the money.

Curt but efficient service, fine for overnight. Left too early for breakfast (07.00) but coffee promised. However this was unavailable and morning staff frankly rude over this.

This hotel is in a good location, accessible easily by both pendeltåg/commuter train and tunnelbana/metro. It's also a quick walk to Medborgarplatsen in the heart of Södermalm. The hotel itself is nothing special - don't choose it if you plan on spending lots of time in your room. However, if you just want somewhere to sleep and shower in, it's perfectly fine and at very cheap prices. It's basic and the breakfast room is a bit of a disappointment - being as it has no windows. There is also no restaurant or bar (although, as said, the hotel is in Södermalm with plenty of these near-by). All in all, good for a single traveller wanting a budget room for a short stay. This is not the Ritz - and nor does it pretend to be, but you will get is somewhere to sleep.

Stayed here on business - needed somewhere inexpensive to stay. Main requirements - cleanliness and location near Slussen and Old Town. Hotel fitted the bill completley. Walk to Old Town is approx 10 mins. Hotal is situated off the main drag so no problem with noise. Breakfast was good. Only minor moan is that there was no wardrobe in my room!

Perfect for staying 1 or 2 nights in Stockholm, especially if you have lack of time to see all the sights and need a room just to sleep somewhere. Simple, clean room, with all the necessary facilities. Not designed for claustrophobic people, the room is quite small. Close to the city, it takes less than 30 minutes to reach Gamla Stan. The main street in Sodermalm is a nice area, where you can find lot of cafes, bars, restaurants, shops. The breakfast in the hotel is very nice, rich, with lots of varieties of food, coffee etc.

Very good continental breakfast...friendly staff, very helpful. My room was small but I think the rate was pretty reasonable for Stockholm. I can't comment on the the more expensive larger rooms.

Boede på hotellet i 2 nætter - pænt, rent og god beliggenhed. Kan anbefales, hvis man blot skal bruge en seng og rimelig standard.

Att personalen i receptionen dvs första personen du möter kan vara så otrevlig är unikt. Att med ett enkelt leende kunna möta en tjej och förklara vart frukosten serveras borde vara enkelt istället för att svara "alla andra hittar ju". Om man vill minska antalet som frågar (i vårt sällskap frågade 2/3 vart frukosten låg) så säg då till när man checkar in vart den serveras eller ett annat enkelt tips sätt upp en skylt som visar det. SEdan så fick vi inte betala med Swedbank kort detta måste strida mot VISA. Men i och för sig så var ju inte kunden i centrum på detta hotellet så varför skall man egentligen bry sig.... Det lär ju knappast bli bättre

Hotellet ligger centralt på Södermalm i Stockholm, tæt på alt, med tunnelbanen ca. 5 min. væk. Rolig beliggenhed. Værelserne har rene og pæne og morgenmaden helt fin. Det eneste minus var vindeltrappen, som var lidt besværlig at komme op og ned ad med kufferter, men vi kommer gerne igen.

Geografiskt bra läge på hotell o nära t pendeltåg, T-bana, buss, mataffär tvärsöver gatan o fler finns i närområdet, Flera restauranger i närområde, Funktionellt, hade mkt litet rum utan fönster, men det var självvalt pga priset o andra rum m fönster finns. Blev stopp i avlopp vilket åtgärdades samma dag.Trevlig personal. Frukost uppfyller mina behov, kokt ägg, 2-3 sorters kallskuret, ost, portionsförpackad matfett, tomat, gurka, paprika, olika sorters bröd både hårt o mjukt, juicer, färsk frukt, te, kaffe, mysigt m Lugna favoritermusik i köket.dagstidn finns att låna, Ta gärna med egen hårfön. Fritt trådlöst internet som fungerar!

Vi bodde på Alexandra fra fredag til søndag, servicen i resepsjonen var middelmådig og uinteressert selv om vi var bort i tre forskjellige ansatte. Rommene var greie, men TV virket ikke og aircondition suste hele natten. Frokostsalen var trang, men maten var grei. OK gangavstand til Gamla Stan. Greit nok da vi fikk en veldig bra pris, men bor ikke der neste gang.

chambre correcte PD correct sans plus sauna sympa accueil hotel entre l indifference et l impolitesse

Hotellet var av minimal luxus men ändå helt ok. Många av rummen har stor balkong men samtidigt finns det ingen hiss i huset. Vill man ha en upplevelse så ska man nog välja nått annat hotell men är man inte ute efter att uppleva staden och inte rummet så funkar det fint!

budsjett-rom ,men dårlig miljø på rommet. ikke vindu .måtte ha døren åpen til korridoren for å få frisk luft

Jag sökte en billig övernattning och fick precis det jag önskade, varken mer eller mindre. Bra frukost för det priset.

Fick inget kvitto pga bokade via hotels.com. Gör det jättekrångligt att ta upp i reseräkning. Kommer INTE boka med hotels.com igen. Hotell Alexandra var väldigt budget.

Ho pernottato con mia moglie per 3 notti e siamo stati benissimo. La camera, con i servizi annessi, che ci è stata assegnata è risultata adeguata per soddisfare le esigenze correlate ad una breve vacanza. Decisamente piccola invece la sala destinata alla 1^ colazione, con pochi posti a sedere rispetto alle potenzialità alloggiative della struttura, con il reale rischio di dover attendere un pò il proprio turno. Il personale è sicuramente professionale, affabile, cortese e molto paziente. Dovessimo ritornare a far visita a questa bellissima città senza dubbio sceglieremmo nuovamente questo albergo che, tra l'altro, si trova anche in un'ottima posizione (la "movida" ci è apparso che fosse infatti proprio da queste parti), centrale e ben collegata con la Metro. Inoltre sempre alla reception si può acquistare la "Stockholm Card".

Rommet var rent og frokosten god, et helt greit 3-stjerners hotell. Billig:)

Das Alexandra Hotel liegt sehr zentral in Soedermalm. Die naechste Bahn ist leicht zu Fuss zu erreichen. Die gebuchten Einzelzimmer mit Fenster waren im Erdgeschoss gelegen und liessen sich nur durch eine kleine Lueftungsklappe belueften. Die Badezimmer sind klein, es gibt kein Duschbecken, so dass man beim Duschen das ganze Bad ueberschwemmt. Durch die Lueftung trocknet es aber schnell wieder und auch ein Badteppich wird bereitgestellt, so dass es doch ganz gut funktioniert. Das Hotelpersonal ist freundlich, ein Pflaster war an der Rezeption aber nicht erhaeltlich. Das Fruehstueck habe ich als angenehm empfunden. Guter Kaffee und frische Broetchen. Alles macht einen sauberen, aufgeraeumten Eindruck.

La stanza era composta (viaggiavamo in tre) di due ambienti spaziosi più il bagno. Tuttavia la qualità delle stanze lasciava a desiderare. Nella camera c'era perfino un buco nel muro, e niente sedie. Colazione abbastanza buona, come sempre in Scandinavia. Vicinissimo alla parte vecchia della città, con parcheggio.

Førsteinntrykket da vi kom inn i resepsjonen var noe delt, men vi ble gledelig overrasket over rommets standard(også badets). Sengen var god. Det eneste vi faktisk savnet var en ekstra lenestol. Frokosten var helt ok. Beliggenheten er sentral nok, ikke lange spaserturen til sentrum og alle severdigheter.

Hotellet ligger i roligt område - meget lidt gadestøj Receptionen fungerede perfekt Hotellets morgenmadsrestaurant er god og med venlig betjening og der er mulighed for parkering af bil på hotellets område.

Ob Si früh aufstehen mochten und nicht so viele Geld ausgeben wollen, diese ist perfekt fur dich! Schones fruhstuck und in der nahe von der wichtigsten Lage in Stockholm. Aber ab 9 Uhr fängt der Lärm an! Wenn Sie zu ausruhen wollen, ich empfehle dir ein anderes Hotel.

As a business traver I have stayed in all kinds of hotels in Stockholm, but I must say even though this hotel is cheap it it is not even value for money. The hotel was worn down. I was given a room in the end of a very long corridor, but was without windows. The AC was not working making it very hot. The WLAN was slow and dropping in and out. I had to use a swiss knife in order to make the shower work. Next time I'll try something nearby, as the best thing of the hotel is it's location.

godt og støj frit hotel.pakeringskælder, mod betaling. kort afstand til cemtrum. ca.15 min. gang.morgenmaden ok, men spisestuen var for lille. følte sig presset til at forlade rummet hurtigt, for at gøre plads til andre gæster.

Rummen var lyhörda - jag hörde när de i rummet bredvid pratade med varandra i normalton! Hade rum i gatuplan och därmed såg alla som gick förbi in - så gardinerna fick vara fördragna hela tiden. Har bott på hotell många gånger men aldrig sovit på så hård säng - de borde köpa tjockare bäddmadrasser.

Resepsjonisten på dagtid var lite service innstilt, lite hyggelig. Vi påpekte noen små mangler, og fikk lite hyggelige svar. Det ene svaret som ble gitt var at vi kunne ikke vente bedre service fordi det var så billig å bo der.

Hotellet ligger forholdsvis centralt. Selve hotellet er ganske ordinært, dog er morgenmadslokalet meget lille i forhold til det antal gæster, der skal have morgenmad i den relativt korte tid, der serveres morgenmad.

Hotellet har en god beliggenhed for offentlig transportmidler, men er meget nedslidt. Morgenmadsrestauranten er for lille og giver let kø, når for mange gæster komer samtidig. Der var af og til problemer med at komme på internettet.

Günstig und korrekt

Efter att ha hamnat i hotellrum som låg alltför nära trafikerad gata - med tanke på att hotellet ligger på bottenvåningen visade man sin goda sida och lät mig o min syster byta till rum mot baksidan.Det var som att komma till ett nytt hotell. Luftigare, mindre dammigt samt ljust o fint. Helt godkänd standard. Hotellets guldkant är kökschefen, som till varje frukost håller koll, att inget saknas samt ser till att den frukost som serveras är fräsch. Då kan man till o med glömma att matsalen är ganska liten.

Jeg bodde på et rom uten vindu, og det var som forventet på størrelse med en lugar ombord på en båt. Men det var helt greit fordi prisen er det jammen ikke mye å si på når man bor så sentralt i stockholm. Jeg bor gjerne på samme hotell flere ganger.

Une bonne adresse, un peu à l'écart d'un quartier qui bouge pas mal mais bien situé. Il ne faut pas se fier à l'aspect extérieur pas très accueillant car l'hôtel est agréable : grand buffet pour le petit déjeuner, chambre confortable et propre. Une adresse à retenir.

Jeg valgte dette hotellet på grunn av beliggenhet og pris, og var forberedt på lav standard. Med de forventningene var hotellet helt greit, men ligg unna budgetrommene uten vindu. Manglende ventilering og luftemuligheter gjorde det umulig å oppholde seg på rommet uten å bruke opp den friske luften på rommet for natten. Ellers burde man ha litt opplæring av personalet i resepsjonen; det vanligste svaret på spørsmål var 'det vet jag inte'. Jeg fant ut ting selv...

Bra rum och relativt lätt att hitta, kom sent och tacksam för att jag fick ha rummet lite längre så jag kunde packa om och vila ut innan resan fortsatte Mycket trevligt bemötande i rukostrummet och i receptionen
