THON HOTEL KUNGSBRON, Stockholm

The hotel is directly opposite Stockholm Central Station and the Arlanda Airport Express Train, making it the top choice for rail and air travellers. The main bus terminal (Cityterminalen) is across the street, and the T-Centralen metro station is a two-minute walk away. From Arlanda Airport, take the Arlanda Express (20 minutes, ~295 SEK) or Flygbussarna (45-60 minutes, ~129 SEK). Gamla Stan (Old Town), the Royal Palace, and Drottninggatan shopping street are all about a 15-minute walk or one metro stop. Many restaurants, bars, and museums are within easy walking distance. The hotel is at street level with a lift, and the rooms are on the floor below the reception. The location provides fast access to transport hubs but is also practical for exploring the city centre on foot. Parking is on-site in a garage, but navigating by car to the hotel can be difficult due to its central position; advance reservation is essential.

All rooms have a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and toiletries. Standard rooms are compact: length is just over a metre more than the bed length, width about 20% less, making space tight for two adults. Double rooms have a 140 cm wide bed; queen rooms have a queen-size bed. Business rooms add a bathtub and sauna. The suites are the largest option, with a sauna and jacuzzi, and can accommodate two extra beds for an additional cost of 200 SEK per bed. Many rooms are windowless, located in a below-ground level; rooms with a window often face a parking garage or internal wall and cannot be opened. Temperature is controlled via a central system with a fan provided in summer; requests for extra blankets or a fan can be made at reception. The rooms have electric kettles, mini-bar, and soundproofing, but lack wardrobes - hanging space is limited to a few hooks. Power outlets are scarce, often under desks, and there are no sockets by the bed. Lighting is basic and the decoration is modern but utilitarian. Daily housekeeping is included. For those who need natural light or more space, a suite or a business room is strongly recommended.

Breakfast is available for a surcharge of SEK 95 and is widely praised for its variety and quality. The buffet includes hot items such as eggs, bacon, sausages, and beans, plus Nordic breads, cheeses, meats, cereals, and pancakes. Special diet options (vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free) are available. Breakfast hours are 06:30-09:30 on weekdays and 07:30-11:00 on weekends. The on-site restaurant HaQ serves local cuisine and operates until 13:30 on weekdays and 11:00 on weekends, covering breakfast and lunch; it is not open for dinner. The lobby bar is open until midnight and serves a selection of drinks and snacks, including a few hot meals. A coffee shop and snack bar are also available on-site, and a supermarket nearby is open until 23:00 daily. Guests preferring a meal outside the hotel's breakfast hours can find several cafés and restaurants within a very short walk.

The fitness centre is available at no extra cost for all guests throughout their stay. The hotel also provides a games room for leisure. There is no spa, sauna, or swimming pool on site. A sauna is available only in the suites and business rooms, which include a private sauna and jacuzzi. For those seeking a gym experience, the hotel has a partnership with a local gym about a five-minute walk away, but this is not a spa facility.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel with standard speed suitable for browsing and streaming. The 24-hour front desk can arrange express check-in and check-out, sell public transport tickets, and assist with early or late arrivals. Free luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out. Daily housekeeping is included at no extra cost, and laundry service can be arranged for a fee. The hotel has a lift, soundproofed rooms, and facilities for disabled guests, including wheelchair-accessible rooms, grab rails, raised toilet, and lower bathroom sink. Cots and board games are available for families. Business facilities include meeting/banquet rooms and fax/photocopying for an extra charge. On-site parking is private but costs SEK 450 per night and must be reserved; electric vehicle charging stations are available. Pets are allowed on request, and the hotel provides pet baskets and bowls. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV, smoke alarms, and key card access. The hotel is a non-smoking property throughout.
