Staylong Hotell

During a summer holiday in Sweden we stumbled across this hotel. I am glad we did. Lets get this out of the way: If it is a must to stay in central Stockholm this is not for you. There are plenty of other options for that. The hotel is located in a tranquil residential neighbourhood outside the city. It is a modern, freestanding building offering spacious, bright apartments with high ceilings filled with natural light. The floorpan is clever utilising the space to offer ample room with a loft overlooking the apartment on both sides and thus serving as another bedroom with a nice desk as a workspace, allowing privacy from the first floor. Internet is superfast and we never had a glitch for several weeks. The kitchen is modern and offers essentially everything one will need to cook. There is a dining table with room for four and also a good size smart TV allowing for cozy TV dinners. Yes, they have Netflix, Prime, Youtube and all channels you need. Beds on both floors are comfortable with crisp linens and quality mattresses. The owners have paid attention to detail through and through, so for example there are good curtains keeping the light out allowing you to sleep through bright northern summer nights. The bedroom on the first floor has a large smart TV on the wall perfect for chilling out with a good movie. It also has a desk for a second workstation. There were some hot days and the friendly team managing the hotel gladly offered us effective fans that did the job. There are different units but the two story apartment will fit any family of four. The apartments are also very well insulated and you hardly hear any neighbours. Getting laundry done is easy as there are newer washing machines and dryers provided at no cost for the guests. Nice touch there. The rooms are super clean thanks to the enthusiastic and stylish crew. New towels and small cleaning supplies are handed out when needed and always with a big smile. We came to appreciate the location too and here is why: Getting into the city is easy with the light rail train that runs frequently. Its just € 4 to Central Stockholm and the journey is 20 minutes. The train station is only a four minute walk from the hotel. In the small centre of this village by the station is also a full supermarket open late 7 days a week. Perfect for restocking your fridge. They have a pharmacy too which was convenient. The same centre also host no less than three good restaurants: An Indian Restaurant: Nan & Chili that served us consistent and good quality Indian classics. A Japanese spot with Sushi and more. Good take away stuff. There is also the neighbourhood restaurant/ pub " Lilla Hantverkaren " that we liked a lot. Apart from great pizzas in a large variety there are Swedish classics, Italian pasta dishes and also kebabs that are seriously good. Locals hang out here and the friendly owner seems to know them all by their first name. Including their kids. And dogs. We also discov
