26.09.06Impressed by the consistent friendliness of the staff; one train stop from the university; fine breakfast.
26.09.02It was my second time staying there and I love the location, right next to KTH.
26.08.31Hotel was really nice, clean, convenient and had a great breakfast option. The room is not small and staff was very kind.
26.07.17Great location, available car parking, real working AC in the room, clean, stuff is helpfull.
26.06.05Let me begin with 2 positives:
1 - the staff was absolutely wonderful
2 - even though I'm not a "breakfast" person, the breakfast buffet was very good
NOW....as for the rest of the stay - this property is a disaster. Firstly, there is no air conditioning, regardless of what you are being told. While one employee said that the lack of cooling was just "typical Swedish air conditioning" (a complete untruth), another one admitted that the air conditioning didn't work and that even though the owners were advised of this, they have chosen to ignore the problem. Aside from our problems with this, there was literally a stream of guests at the front desk complaining.
The room itself was badly outdated - it could easily been mistaken to that of a budget motel in the USA. The bathroom was the tiniest I have ever encountered. I have been on cruise ships with larger bathrooms!
The shower was laughingly small. I am 5'7' and 155 pounds and had a problem fitting into it. I can't even begin to imagine someone larger trying to shower.
While the price for this property was certainly more affordable than many other Stockholm hotels, I would have gladly paid more for something more acceptable. Unless you're going in winter when there is no need to provide cooling for the guestrooms, I would strongly advise staying away from Elite Hotel Arcadia.
