Best Western Royal Star Hotel

We were here to attend a family party and the hotel proved to be a perfect home base. The location is perfect: less than 5 minutes walking (go up the path to the right of the red house) to the train station and through there, a small square with the Vivel konditori for sandwiches and pastry (fika), pharmacy/drugstore, flower/gift shop and a large Coop supermarket to get much-needed Swedish food to bring home. There’s also an Italian restaurant on the corner. A train takes you to Stockholm in 10 mins, there are buses, and to the left of the station a really good poké bowl place Oh poké to take away or have a quick lunch there. There’s also a forest nearby. The staff is friendly, efficient and forthcoming. When we came back and wanted tea, the night porter gave us a thermos and cups with hot water. When wit was raining, she opened the door for us to let us in. Breakfast has plenty of healthy and lactose free and vegan options. I read some reviewers were not too pleased about their rooms. We had a room on the fifth floor and it was perfect for us and modernised. We slept well and there is air conditioning. The bathroom might not be “design” but it has floor heating and a strong shower beam and a shelf for cosmetics and proper hand wash and shower gel pump bottles. It could do with a shelf in the shower though, for your shampoo and face wash. Two comfortable chairs, a desk with chair and a Nespresso machine and just enough space for our morning yoga. In short: good base near Stockholm, private and spacious outdoor parking area, outdoor terrace for breakfast in the sun and some relaxing in between. We’ll book again for our next family visit.

“Excellent parking”

I picked this hotel according to where I needed to be and for its great parking. The room was spacious. There was rather little room around the sink in the bathroom though. The carpets in the corridors could use a bit of a rinse. The breakfast was ok, the usual.

“Brief overnight stay”

Nice, friendly people at the desk and bar. Room was spacious but dated and no aircon, even if not promised it would improve the sleep quality a lot. Sheets were clean but had some old stains in them. Because of no ventilation or aircon in room the smell of the room was a bit moldy. Whole building … more

Nice, friendly people at the desk and bar. Room was spacious but dated and no aircon, even if not promised it would improve the sleep quality a lot. Sheets were clean but had some old stains in them. Because of no ventilation or aircon in room the smell of the room was a bit moldy. Whole building complex is old and looks to be in need of upgrading. Breakfast was very solid. Ok + in total for this stay.
