Radisson Collection Strand Hotel Stockholm

We had a very pleasant stay and I recommend this hotel for cleanliness, service, and location for visitors to Stockholm. The rooms were comfortable and well kept. Many places to visit were in 15-20 min walking distance and a stop for hop on/hop off and other boat tours was just outside. Plenty of restaurant choices in either direction. The staff was friendly and helpful. When the Charles bar opens, it will be even better!

Just back from a lovely weekend in Stockholm. The Radisson Strand hotel was the perfect location. The hotel is very clean, the staff were all very pleasant. We had a junior suite. Our daughter was with us so we were provided with an extra bed for her in the room. The room was a good size ( 408) but the bathroom was very small for a suite. However this didn’t impede our stay and would not put me off staying there again. We had a partial view of the river. The beds were very comfortable, and our room was stocked with everything we needed. The hotel was quiet morning and night. My family went down for breakfast one morning but didn’t feel there was a good selection on offer and the price approx €60 for two was expensive for what was offered. All in all, we were very happy with the hotel and would recommend here for your visit to Stockholm. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and it’s very easy to get around on food from here.

The location of this hotel is fantastic — right in the heart of Stockholm, with an impressive historic façade that immediately sets high expectations. Check-in was smooth, and the reception staff were friendly and efficient, though the overall vibe leaned more towards 4 stars than 5. I had booked a “Presidential Suite – Sea View”, and I’ll admit, my expectations were flying as high as the title. On one hand, “Presidential Suite” — who wouldn’t feel a little giddy? On the other, “Sea View” — visions of sparkling water, graceful boats, serenity. The two together created a kind of euphoric balance. The suite consisted of a living room and a separate bedroom. The living room offered a truly magnificent view over the harbor — a postcard scene, worth every minute spent just gazing. Furnishings, however, were somewhat minimalistic, leaning towards “rental house staging” rather than curated luxury. Not unpleasant, but not exactly cozy or rich in detail. Then came the twist. Upon entering the suite, I found a small bathroom with a shower — modest in both size and design. Naturally, I assumed this was the guest WC — a common feature in suites of this level. The presence of a small shower seemed odd, but I figured there must be a larger, main bathroom elsewhere. And so the quest began. I explored every corner, opened every door, studied the walls in search of hidden panels — convinced there must be a “true” presidential bathroom somewhere. But no. That little entryway shower room… was it. There was no bathtub, no spacious bathroom sanctuary, no double vanity or soaking tub with a view of the bay. Just that compact, functional space near the door. It was hard not to feel a little deflated — a presidential suite with the soul of a compact cabin. Still, I have to say: the view was truly extraordinary. Sitting on the sofa and watching the boats drift by, you could almost forgive the rest. Almost.
