This is not an awful hotel, but it isn't fantastic either. We had just come from Finland, where we…read morestayed at another (newer) Scandic property, and the comparison made the Foresta suffer. Pros: Amazing view. The hotel is on an ~100 ft cliff, overlooking a bridge to the main Stockholm area. Scandinavian design furnishings, including iconic lights from two Swedish designers. Nearby transit points. The nearest light rail is down a switchback path to the bottom of the cliff, or a bus stop at the front of the hotel. Nearby grocery store. There is a Coop just a couple blocks down the road, so if you just want to grab something simple for dinner you can be in and out quickly. Breakfast is free and has okay variety. There are bikes to borrow for free. We walked or used public transit for the whole trip, but the bikes were sitting right outside the entrance. Cons: The staff is nice, but are understaffed and somewhat lazy. We had some issues with dropping off luggage in the morning because there was only one person on duty and he could only buzz the luggage door open (which meant we needed to run from the front desk to the baggage room). We then had issues picking up our luggage in the afternoon because none of the 3 people at the front desk wanted to leave the front desk, forcing us to run again. The floors are engineered wood instead of being actual wood. There were some maintenance issues in the bathroom. The grout was moldy, there was no conditioner (though there was a place for the conditioner bottle), and part of the shower fixture came apart. None of these were a huge deal, but I was expecting better after the previous Scandic property. Likely due to the relatively high vacancy while we were there, the breakfast food was not as fresh as I would have liked. The first day, the bread was somewhat stale, the crepes tasted reheated, and the grapes needed to be washed. This was better on the other two days we ate at the hotel.

Really, really lovely hotel, looks newly built, so everything is modern, from the design to the…read morespaciousness, to the number of electrical outlets, including an outlet near each bed, with a small nightstand to put your phone, etc. A nice workspace/desk with chair also included. My only complaint was the lack of clothing drawers, and minimal closet space. Like, there was maybe 5 hangers with maybe 1 foot/25cm of width to hang clothes, and no luggage rack. That said, these were minor issues, and between the desk, and other surfaces, where was room to put our stuff out without putting it on the floor. The breakfast on the fourth floor every morning is fantastic. Not sure if every Swedish hotel does this or what, but there were multiple buffet stations, with every from eggs+bacon+pancakes, to a yogurt station, to an entire table of bread + butter, with multiple juices/coffee options, a separate fruit station, and the list goes on and on and on. The location is excellent if you want to go to the Friends Arena, or the Mall of Scandinavia (with lots of food options, both fast or sit-down, all of which are within easy walking distance. The Solna station (Pendeltag/commuter train system) is about a 12-15 minute walk away. Tip: Ignore Google Maps and walk through the Mall to get to the hotel if it's very cold outside. Bathrooms: They are bougie, with a nice design aesthetic, with plenty of bathroom countertop space to place things. Not sure what the other review was talking about with the shower compartment not being completely enclosed; our shower had a glass door, and minimal water spilled into the room. Oh oh! The flowers are heated! So nice.

It's also conveniently located next to public transport and my office. Rooms are nice with views specially on the upper floors. It's a very tall hotel with 25 floors. The only drawback is the absolute lack of closet space and the shower enclosure with nothing to stop water from splashing all over the bathroom floor. Staff are nice and there are restaurants on the 4th and 25th floor. I did not go to the 25th floor restaurant but did have breakfast at the other restaurant. As breakfast is always included get to the breakfast restaurant soon as it's a zoo after about 8am. Food is ok nothing special. I am sure I will be back here again. It's one of a handful of hotels close to my office in the area.

This is an awesome hotel in Solna. Well worth my one week stay…read more The hotel is basically brand new (opened in January 2016) with a modern touch, unique from all the other major hotel chains we all know. The theme of the hotel is all to do with winery and has a great collection of wine. They have their own branded wine that they make in-house. The hotel also has a beautiful lobby and bar area on the first floor. The rooms are beautifully laid, comfortable, and quiet, however, they are a little small. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have one of the good breakfast meals and are located in close proximity to the Mall of Scandinavia. You can also access the bus close by, but to get to the train, you'll have to get a taxi. You can also rent the bicycles they have to get around. The Winery Kitchen Restaurant on the first floor has a nice menu for dinner and you need to check it out when you stay here. They also have a pizza restaurant across from the check-in desk which really has awesome food and drinks. Of course, don't forget to sign up for the winery tour! They have a winery just behind the front desk and you can see the oak barrels used to store wine. You can always request to have the tour conducted in English. Overall, wife and I enjoyed our week's stay here.
