I checked in today and I am super happy either way my selection so far. The front desk staff are professional, efficient, and very nice. My room is not large, but very comfortable as I plan to be out more than I'm in the room. My only two complaints are there is no refrigerator in the room, and there's no ice machine on each floor. This is important if you are someone who must keep items cold....medicine and infant formula are two examples that come to mind. I love public transport in Stockholm, so I decided to check out the ease of use from this hotel, and I wasn't disappointed. The tram stops in the center traffic island steps from the front door of the hotel! With one stop on tram, I had access to several metro lines to venture around the city very easily. I plan to eat breakfast away from the hotel on tomorrow, but I will try the breakfast before my stay ends. Breakfast is only 125 SEK (about $12.50 at the time of this review) if you book on a platform such as Expedia that offers a rate without breakfast. It is only my first night, but I am impressed and I recommend this establishment so long as having a refrigerator is not a deal-breaker for you. read more

Second time in Stockholm, first time staying at Motel L. We arrived well before check in time, but they gave us a room early. Staff was very nice, and helpful. There were several restaurant choices nearby. read more

I have 1 word to describe our stay at Motel L-Excellent. Don't get fooled by the name, Motel L is an outstanding hotel, not a motel. Last August we stayed in central Stockholm near the train station at a very good hotel. Motel L is in a neighborhood called Hammersby, which is a bit outside of the central area so we were concerned about the location. It worked out great. Hammersby is a nice, quiet area and the hotel is on the main avenue with many restaurants and an ICA supermarket and pharmacy right next door. The 30 tram stops right outside the front of the hotel and we were able to easily get to all locations and areas of Stockholm using mass transit, or walking about 30 minutes. Motel also has a 25% off deal with an Italian restaurant called Grandi about a 10 minute walk. Grandi was very good and even better with the 25% discount. Motel L is clean and in very good condition. There is ample seating in the lobby area to relax and the breakfast room is also very nice. Breakfast was substantial, fresh, and had many choices. My wife and I had to resist overeating breakfast was so good. The staff kept re-stocking so everything was always available; the bread was so fresh and so good. Another plus is that unlike many hotels, breakfast on weekdays lasted until 10 am and on weekdays until 11 am-perfect for us! The people at the front desk were welcoming and very helpful. I'd like to give a shoutout to the frontdesk people I dealt with-May, Oliver,Alex, Yallen, Reuben, and Naiomi. Also to one of the breakfast people-Hendrik but everyone helping with breakfast was great. Two very minor things to note and be aware of-the hotel doesn't have a guest computer or washer/dryer. Bottom line, would we stay at Motel L again? Absolutely and we will on our next visit to Stockholm. P.S The rooms have lots of outlets and you have to look on the left side of the bed where there's a cubby hole with hangers for clothes. It isn't obvious so you can miss it at first. There's a bar and coffee station in the lobby, the lobby is very inviting. read more

I admit, it was the photos that attracted me to Motel L--the rooms looked like a page from an IKEA catalogue. Motel L was the most expensive of all our accommodations in Europe, but it wasn't terribly more expensive than the other hotels, less than $5 more per night (we were able to get very good prices everywhere; on average, accommodation totals were $125 per night). And after doing extensive research on accommodations in the other cities we were visiting, I couldn't be bothered to find a cheaper rate for Stockholm, our last stop. Plus I really liked the funky décor. The Mårtensdal tram stop (line 22) is conveniently located right outside of the hotel, making it very easy to get to get around Stockholm. They also have a decent breakfast (sliced meats, cheeses, bread, veggies, etc) for 85 SEK a day, as well as free tea and coffee all day. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Directly across from the 21 tram on the SL line. Extremely easy to use to get to Sickla. Also about a 30 minute walk into Gamla Stan (Old Town) which is great for tourists. The absolute BEST feature of Motel L is the free breakfast. Every morning there are so many options! Meats, breads, cheeses, pickles, vegetables, yogurt, toppings, and of course, classic Swedish cinnamon buns. I wake up every morning so eager to go down to breakfast. The rooms are plenty spacious for one person especially if you are traveling on business. My room had good wifi and a great shower (rain fall shower head!). I am overwhelmed by the staff's friendliness and willingness to assist me on my trip for work. Absolutely wonderful. I would stay again in a minute. read more

Motel L - I love a Swedish breakfast! So many lovely bröds. - Hotels Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

We spent two nights at the motel L and were very happy with it. The decor is SUPER Groovy. We asked for a room with a view which we think means that we had a window. The view is of an industrial park but its a bright, quiet, cheerful room. The beds are SO COMFORTABLE. it's hard to leave them. Our room had everything we need and the shower was perfect - both a rain shower head and a Super-Wand. There is also a hair dryer in the room and plenty of electrical outlets. The first night we walked 3 doors down to the supermarket and created a very nice dinner in our room. The breakfast for $8.50 a person was ample and good value for Stockholm. Best part? The tram to town is LITERALLY right out the front door. I would definitely recommend this hotel. read more

We LOVED Motel L. We stayed here at the tail end of Europe travels and we were elated to stay in such a nice place after a week of hostels and Airbnbs. I'd seen photos online and I was still surprised by how nice Motel L was - especially for the competitive pricing. We paid $103 a night, booked through Expedia. Lobby was large and has a small snack area, free coffee and tea. The room wasn't large but the bed was incredibly comfy and the bathroom floors were heated! You have to put a room key in the wall to turn the lights on - kinda threw us for a loop. Right next to the bus, we traveled everywhere with minimal walking. Grocery store and a few food places are within 3 minutes, we lucked out with this place! read more

We chose this hotel for the price but it's so much better than an average budget hotel. It's located a bit out of the center of the city, but there is public transportation right out front (and is an easy walk for walkers). The rooms were small but stylish and comfortable. There's a grocery store downstairs in the same building that we appreciated having nearby. I'd stay here again. read more

The bed really was like a cloud! And the room was clean... But... The front desk staff look like high school kids at their first day on the job. They don't know what they're doing. It seems this place spent all their budget on design and had nothing left for training. Too bad. read more

Cool place! Love the design and I like that there is a bus/metro stop right in front of it, a pharmacy, pub and market right next to the hotel. It was my first hotel in Europe so some things were different, like room size and breakfast style. The room was actually not too small compared to the other places I stayed in Scandinavia but it was pretty small compared to hotels in the U.S. Breakfast was great though I didn't understand the concept of the eggs. Some of them were hard boiled others not but there was really no way to tell which was hard and which was creamy. The room and breakfast price was also not bad compared to other places in Scandinavia. Staff was friendly, especially Jonis, he helped me with a lot from directions and recommendations and made sure I was well informed about Stockholm nightlife etc. Great guy! read more

First trip to Stockholm and we stayed here for 4 nights. Perfect base of operations to explore Soder and other areas. Price was amazing, municipal transit right outside the door which connects to Tunnelbana, grocery right on the corner, and the rooms were wonderful, though on the smaller size. I would definitely stay here again. read more

I'm staying here as it is close to work. I'm also here for work, not as a tourist. so my needs are different, and i'm not as price conscious as others. I would classify it as a great 'no frills' place. The things I miss compared to a 'regular hotel' that I usually stay in are: * no phone. For international travellers this could be an issue as call rates from a roaming cell-phone can be quite large sometimes. it also makes it hard to get a pizza or delivery. * no room service. * no fridge or minibar.. they do have a snack section downstairs which seems to be open quite late though (I was there around 1am and it was open, but who wants to get re-dressed just to get a snack or drink) * their room design only has open spaces to put things in. so it's hard to unpack. there is hanging space (it took me a day to find it, but they have it), and no iron/ironing board. (you might be able to get one from downstairs I didn't ask) * the windows don't open, and the room can get a bit stuffy The good things are: * it's location. there are several nice looking restaurants a couple of meters away, as well as a supermarket in the same building, but I think most of them are geared for the lunch crowd * they have a little kiosk to hail a cab from. (it is ~4k from the main part of the city) * the breakfast is tasty. (it is mainly cereal+cold cuts) * the people working here seem very friendly * the rooms are *VERY* quiet, and the bed is comfy I think the next time I come to Stockholm, I'll probably stay closer in the center of the city, and just taxi it to work. read more

I stayed in this hotel for several days and I did like it to start with. They offer free coffee and tea and wifi. The only couple of things that ruined it for this hotel was that the cleaner would change our bins and towels but never bothered to change our sheets for at least 3 or 4 days and the sheet were dirty cause I was eating on the bed and some sauce fell on the sheet. I waited day after day to see if and when she would change them and never did. I ended up taking the sheets and blankets off myself and just left everything on the fall. I came back to the room with clean sheets but the some cover to the blanket. The Second thing that made me upset was that I checked out of the room at 11am and realised I accidentally left behind two bracelets in the room. I returned to the hotel at 3pm and told them about my bracelets and asked if I could check the room or if the cleaner had found them for me. The staff said the cleaner did not report them in. I told the staff where I left them and they went to look for me. They did not find them. So either the cleaner saw them and took them or the staff saw it and kept it or the staff did not bother to check the room at all. Either way I am upset and disappointed. I will not be staying at this hotel again and do not recommend to anyone staying here. read more

Excellent value for a small but stylish, clean and comfortable room. We were delighted with our stay at Motel L and would recommend it to friends. read more

For the price it does not get any better. Location is not central, but not too far off the beaten path either. Hotel design is modern and unique. Lots of bright colors, you can't wake up to them and not smile. Room was small, but adequate. The bathroom was large with a heated floor, awesome artwork, and a massive shower head. Breakfast, while not included, was not terribly expensive and fairly comprehensive. Would gladly stay again. read more

I love this hotel. Yes, it is not the best location but totally accessible to the center of the city. Today I walked, took a ferry and took the subway. All were easy. The hotel is new and clean, great shower, quiet rooms. Note: Emilie ferry leaves from Luma directly east from the hotel, on the water, and takes you to vasa museum and that side of town. Very easy. read more

Family of 4 stayed here 5 nights. Decor is interesting to say the least not my style but I liked it anyway. Room was large as well as the bathroom. The shower is absolutely amazing and it appeared that the mosaic floor was heated. Room temp was spot on never had to touch the t-stat. Room was in the 4th floor corner. Had a view of the tram right In front. These rooms are the most sound isolating that I've ever experienced. I've stayed at a lot of hotels in my travels throughout the world. It was phenomenally quiet and I absolutely loved it. The beds didn't look like much until my first night. Extremely comfortable. Breakfast did not appear to offer much for the money at first glance. At second glance I have to say I will miss it very much. Cost 90 kronors as of this writing and worth every penny. Light yet filling for almost an entire day. Lots of protein foods. Coffee was fantastic. Location could not be any better in my opinion. The tram is literally right in front and is one stop away from the metro station that will take you anywhere in and around Stockholm. Using a 3 day access card that can be purchased at the supermarket next door is ideal and can be topped off as needed. Some local restaurant down the street. Also a Thai massage but I did not use that. 4 stars only because sheets were not changed everyday not was the room vacuumed or bathroom cleaned. It's a shame as these are basic expectations from any hotel. I do recommend this hotel and would stay there again but let the hotel staff know if your room isn't cleaned properly. They did correct that after I mentioned it on the third night. As far as Stockholm itself....meh. read more
