GRAD HOTEL AND HOSTEL, Stockholm

The property sits in the true heart of Stockholm, placing the Old Town and Royal Palace just three metro stops away. The area is packed with restaurants and shops, including a Lidl supermarket within walking distance. Central Station is easily reached on foot, providing direct train and bus connections to Arlanda Airport. For those arriving by car, no parking is available on-site, and street parking is limited. Rådmansgatan Metro Station is a 3-minute walk, making car-free exploration straightforward.

Private double and single rooms as well as shared dormitories (including a 6-bed female-only dorm) are available. Rooms are generally compact. A notable characteristic is that many rooms have no windows, relying on a standing fan for air movement; rooms with windows may face the street and can be noisy, but windows often do not open. The absence of air conditioning means rooms can become very warm-ventilation is provided by a system, but in windowless rooms this can feel insufficient. Beds have been described as firm and thin, and some bed frames are reported to be unstable. Storage options: lockers are present in 8-bed mixed dorms and most shared rooms (bring your own padlock or buy one for 60 SEK), but are less common in female dorms. The bedding and linens are included.

There is no restaurant or bar on the premises, and breakfast is not served. Instead, the property offers a well-equipped shared kitchen with multiple fridges, stoves, microwaves, and utensils, allowing preparation of your own meals. The surrounding area on Drottninggatan has numerous dining options, including burgers, sushi, Thai, and Italian restaurants, all within a short walk.

The property does not have a swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre. The leisure offering is limited to a shared lounge with a TV and seating area, which also serves as a dining space.

Wi-Fi is free and available in all areas. The shared kitchen includes fridges, stoves, and all necessary cookware. Luggage storage is free during reception hours (10:00-19:00). Laundry service is available for an additional charge. Daily housekeeping is provided. The property has 24-hour security with key card access and CCTV. The reception desk is open from 10:00 to 20:00, and after-hours self-check-in is available upon request. There is no elevator, so rooms on upper floors are accessible only by stairs.
