Scandic No 53

Worked myself in hotels for many years and travelling a lot for leisure and business. Good location and reasonable breakfast buffet. Limited and expensive evening meal options. For same price you have a five star meal in Duvel and other restaurants nearby. Not recommended for European, North American and East Asian traveller guests, even more if you stay seven nights as I did. While it wasn't a problem to opt for a room without windows the room itself for a couple and for so many days is not big enough. It's like a tiny cave space. While I have worked and travelled as well in budget hotels, not good like clarion, ibis budget or other budget brands. The room is not cleaned if not asked for and between the lack of staff during the full week and the typical rudeness of the Nordic staff (I have to be frank on this even if I have Swedish family). The worse so far with Chinese one. Due to long queues in reception left a note to a receptionist asking to clean the room. Did not happen. Reported the day after face to face no empathy no politeness and again no room cleaned only replaced towels. Finally two nights before check out cleaned. No worth a pence that I wasted, very expensive compared for the quality and service. Any one can sell you a room even airbnb. Service is what make worthy to stay in a hotel or another.

It is always good to stay at Scandic 53 - good service and food, a comfortable room and close to all of the local attractions.

Good hotel. Good location. Enjoyed our stay, would recommend.

Have stayed here before. Very convenient location, friendly staff and a really good buffet breakfast

Great location close to the central station. We had a room without a window which was compact but adequate for our 5 night stay. The buffet breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of hot and cold food. Everything that you need for a city break at a reasonable price for Sweden!

The location of the hotel is excellent, in city center of Stockholm. The room is very small, facilities feel more like a two star hotel rather than a three star hotel. Breakfast offered enough choices but the place could have been organized better

Scandic No 53 is an excellent choice if you want to see Stockholm in a few days....very central, clean, comfortable and has a great breakfast!

Perfectly ok. The room was on the small side, but very nice. There was no iron for ironing shirts in the room. No water or minibar either, and no toiletries except for soap and shampoo, so keep this in mind. The breakfast was ok too, but a bit traditional. More vegetarian options should be available such as oat or soy milk and milk-free "butter", which was lacking.

Stay was comfortable.

Very well located in the centre, only a minute from main shopping street. Staff very friendly, breakfast was epic. Opt in to daily room cleaning is an excellent environmental policy. Only downside was room was slightly small and no complimentary tea/coffee
