Guide Review - Hotel Hellsten, Stockholm

There are a number of categories that could be used for Hotel Hellsten - Design, Hip or Classy being three of them. The intention, though, is that the hotel should be a meeting place for travelers of all tastes and interests, and become their home during their visit.

The hotel has 30 rooms and the interior design and furnishings change from room to room, making the place very interesting. Some rooms feature various antiques, while others have a distinctly Asian touch. Each room has a TV, broadband internet access, iron, etc. The hotel has non-smoking rooms and offers continental breakfast.

About half an hour by car from Arlanda Airport, Hotel Hellsten is right in the heart of Stockholm. Take the airport's Arlanda Express to the Central Station (20 minutes) and from there you will take the subway to station Rådmansgatan, which takes about four minutes. The Hotel is just around the corner from there. By car it takes about thirty minutes from the airport.

Location: Luntmakargatan 68, 113 51 Stockholm.
