Backstage Hotel Stockholm

“Perfect hotel for a city trip!”

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent, also for people with allergies. The hotel offers lots of alternatives if you have allergies. Great choice, buffet, as well as a la carte. They offer also a lot of healthy food. Location perfect: in front of the hotel you can take the bus, tram or ferryboat. And the hotel offers bikes free of charge!!!! In the big park opposite the hotel, you can have lovely walks (or do some jogging, cycling). Next door is the ABBA museum :-) and Gröna Lund entertainment park/ concert house, Cirkus and a lot of other museums. Next time in Stockholm we will definately choose for The backstage hotel again!!! Value for money.

“Exceptional Service”

I received fantastic care from Ms Nao Sakurada at The Backstage hotel when I fell ill visiting the ABBA museum. She went over and above to make sure I got home as soon as possible, safely and comfortably. I would highly recommend this hotel as the service is clearly exceptional!

“Modern & bright rooms and great breakfast.”

Very nice, modern and bright rooms. The bathrooms are huge. The breakfast is very good. We love staying on Djurgarden when we come to Stockholm. We've stayed at their sister hotel Hasselbacken across the street and it's also very good. We find this area super convenient and very safe when traveling… lisää

Very nice, modern and bright rooms. The bathrooms are huge. The breakfast is very good. We love staying on Djurgarden when we come to Stockholm. We've stayed at their sister hotel Hasselbacken across the street and it's also very good. We find this area super convenient and very safe when traveling with kids as all the attractions are at your doorstep (Skansen, Grona Lund, Vasa Museum, Viking Museum, etc). We love to take the tram to go shopping around Norrmalmstorg (all the good shops are within walking distance). It's the prettiest ride. We also love taking the boat to Old Town. It's such a charming way to commute.

“Disappointing”

Djurgardsvagen is a beautiful island and definitely worth visiting, but if we come to Stockholm again (and I think we will) we won't be staying at the Backstage Hotel. It is obviously very convenient for lots of different museums - specially the Abba and Vasa museums, concerts etc., but I found … lisää

Djurgardsvagen is a beautiful island and definitely worth visiting, but if we come to Stockholm again (and I think we will) we won't be staying at the Backstage Hotel. It is obviously very convenient for lots of different museums - specially the Abba and Vasa museums, concerts etc., but I found it very depressing. All so dark and gloomy. A very unwelcoming and unprofessional-looking Reception area with heavy grey curtains all round, making it look like a slightly seedy nightclub. We had paid extra for a room with balcony and view, but unfortunately the view turned out to be mainly of the tram stops on the main road outside, and as we arrived on a Friday evening, when lots of people were heading for a night out at the fair next door, it was very noisy. To be fair I suspect that a Friday evening is probably the worst time to arrive as far as noise is concerned, and may have been a different experience had it been midweek. Although a large room, with windows on two sides, again it was mainly dark grey curtains and as we were on the first floor and at the front, we felt very exposed to all the people on the street, so didn't feel we could put the light on unless all the main curtains were pulled. There was also nowhere to put anything! No wardrobe, chest of drawers, nowhere to put a case apart from the bed or floor. Due mainly to the noisy position, the next morning we asked to be changed to a quieter room, and were moved to a higher floor, slightly further back. Although a smaller room, it felt much nicer and actually - weirdly - had more furniture than the larger room, and there was a least a hanging rail for some clothes. Not even the bedside tables (which resembled toadstools - trendy but impractible) had so much as a drawer to put anything in. Again, all dark grey and even the muslin-style privacy curtains in both rooms were dark grey and depressing. On the plus side, the staff were all very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast was plentiful. The trip was actually to celebrate my (big) birthday, and my husband had contacted the hotel in advance to ask for a bottle of wine to be in the room. They had confirmed that this would be done and indeed there was a bottle and some chocolate waiting for us in the room on arrival. What I didn't know until we checked out, was that they had informed him that there would be a charge for this, to be charged to the room. Fair enough, although over the years we have celebrated several birthdays/anniversaries by going away, and have never been charged for a bottle of wine anywhere else. I was quite surprised when it was mentioned on check-out, but my husband paid as he was expecting to. However, what even he wasn't expecting was the exorbitant charge. Approximately £63! Unbelievable! I didn't know this at the time and to be honest, probably wouldn't have made an issue of it as it obviously wasn't the fault of the very sweet receptionist. But it definitely didn't leave a very favourable impression of the hotel. The surrounding area is lovely and it is a great time of year to visit as the colour of the trees was amazing, and we were lucky enough to get beautiful blue skies to set it all off. So on future trips I think we would stay elsewhere in Stockholm and just get the tram (or ferry) over to the island, which is definitely worth visiting. It is also a stop off point on the hop-on-off harbour boat, so also worth doing that way.
