This is a hotel in a very nice area of Stockholm. Several good restaurants in the area. Great communications, the subway entrance is right on the corner of the hotel. Excellent! Some of the main sightseeing areas are within walking distance, and all of them can be reached easily with public transport. The hotel staff was very nice and polite,... More

Stayed here on a weekend business trip. The location is very convenient - just a short walk from the central train station and Arlanda Express, and in a neighborhood that seems to have a lot of nice little restaurants and cafes. I arrived around 9 pm on a Friday, and the whole lobby/bar/restaurant area seemed to be full of people,... More

We stayed at the First Amaranten for a Bruce Springsteen concert on a weekend in May 2013. The hotel is large and not very modern but rooms are spruced up and very comfy. The duvets in particular were heavenly (hence the name, Nordic, hehe). Breakfast was a bit hectic as the hotel is large and most of the rooms were... More

Overall a good hotel. Nice lively bar and good breakfast. Stayed 2 nights on business trip. Kept awake by road cleaners from 11 to 12.30 and by an event. Lots of shouting in street in front of hotel. Receptionist recommended the courtyard rooms for future stays... would stay again but not in room at front.

The best thing about this hotel is the proximity to the train station, which is just round the corner, the worst thing, it has some of the oldest rooms i've seen... The first night i arrived, they had given away my room to someone else, despite having confirmed reservations, although they put me up in another hotel for the night,... More

Location is great. Close to shopping and centrum station. Great price, breakfast was included. It got really busy about 8, go early or later to be able to sit down! Room was comfortable. Pillows are very small, but there were plenty of them. The downside?? The phone was not working, the front desk insisted that we were not in our... More

Stockholm unfortunately has a bad reputation for hotels or I should say value for money. Keeping that in mind, the hotel was nice and what a great location if you are traveling on business or need to use the public transportation, which by the way is the simplest I've ever experienced. The staff is friendly and quite efficient - lacking... More

I have stayed here several times on business and pleasure. The hotel is within 5 minutes walk of the Central station and is very modern and well equipped. The bedrooms are a little on the small side but that is not uncommon for Sweden. Free wi-fi helps to entertain you/enable you to do work.

It's good location and quick reach of subway is a good thing. Also the great breakfast buffet and the gym as well. I feel not so comfortable with the floors were the rooms are located. A bit rough - experienced floor 1 and 5. Anyhow - the staff are very serviceminded and helpful. I will return several times, and try... More

Amaranten is very centrally located. Very near a metro station and some business facilities in Kungsholmen. But that's about the good sides. I haven't been in a smaller hotel room in Scandinavia. The room felt like a 2-star hotel room in Paris.. The room had basically space for a bed. If I opened my mid-size luggage (on the floor, no... More
