I often stay at the CityBox brand, this was my first time at the Stockholm location. Very well located, directly across the street from Slussen metro station, which is one or two stops from T-centralen, the main train station where the airport train also arrives. Walking distance to Gamla Stan, Mariatorget atea and the ferry stop to Skansen.
This CityBox location mostly has rooms without windows, which when I was initially booking, I didn’t think would be a big deal to me.
In reality, the room was pitch black when all the lights were off, and it was quite disorienting when waking up. It would have been nice to have either a television in the room to have some sort of daylight visual or a dim “night” light at floor level would also be helpful.
The room was very clean, generally comfortable and well sized, and although the twin beds were comfortable, they were extremely narrow (especially by North American standards).
We stayed five nights but didn’t get any housekeeping. Not sure if there was an option beyond getting fresh towels from reception.
Excellent bathroom, great shower water pressure.
Rooftop restaurant and bar/cafe were lovely to visit.
I would happily stay here again, though I would reconsider the windowless room next time.
