Excellent

This is by far one of the best hotels that I’ve ever stayed at. It was fun and unique, had an amazing and helpful staff and a wonderful breakfast. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and being an LGTBQ+ family, we felt like we were more than comfortable and welcomed.
I chose this hotel because it is so close to the central station. There is one thing which I absolutely hated. There is loud shouty pop music all the time. It is particularly annoying at breakfast. One cannot escape.
Arriving in Stockholm on the Arlanda Express, this hotel is a 10 minute walk from the central station. We stayed for 4 nights in July and found it to be an excellent stay. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful whether they were printing off Power of Attorney documents for my wife to sign or opening the in-room safe that my wife managed to disable with our passports inside it on the night before checkout. (Note that the safe is a bit small and not big enough for a laptop). Hotel staff all speak much better English than my Svenska.
Breakfast area has everything you will need but does get very (very) busy between about 8am and 9:30am. Coach load of American tourists during our stay all ate at the same time - they have a bus to catch!
We ate out in the evenings as the hotel restaurant choices are a bit limited, but there are a enough alternatives in the immediate vicinity to make up for it.
It's a little outside the main tourist area which means it's quiet in the evenings but not much public transport nearby so be prepared for a bit of walking when you have things to do. Waking to the docks to catch a boat to the archipeligo takes about 25 minutes (including the wife stopping to take photos.)
We loved the Scandic Grand Central and would stay again even if only because of it's closeness to the train station. But it has more to offer than just that.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Tiny bathrooms, barely any room to stand. Rooms were fine. No ac and no fridge.
The location was good. Shower water pressure was excellent. My room location was very bad. I had to carry luggage through stairs. No way to use elevator
Room was great.
European half glassed showers look nice but a mess~ water all over the floor after every shower.
Breakfast was awesome.
Coffee available during the day was nice.
Check-in not the best… prepaid room not available at normal check-in time— had to wait nearly an extra hour, and almost missed dinner reservations.
Overall a very pleasant stay, the junior suite with sofa bed was comfortable and a good size, the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good but worth avoiding peak times which were a bit crowded. Laundry was available but VERY expensive
One of the nicest hotels I have stayed at. Great downtown location near the shopping district, excellent breakfast, and the front reception was nice and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.
Location: Excellent. About 3-min walk to the Arlanda Express. Close to all types of transportation around the city for tourist attractions—subway, bus, lightrail. Walkable to shops.
Breakfast: Wide variety of food including fruits and even stations for dairy -free and gluten-free. Wasn’t my favorite hotel breakfast but sufficient.
Room: Even though the hallways were a bit dated, the rooms were renovated and well-reflected by the Expedia photos. The bathroom was quite small but renovated just aa the rest of the room.
Noise: My room was facing the street and could hear the traffic. Usually not too bad until a loud motorcycle passes by once in a while. I had my own earplugs and was able to sleep uninterrupted with them on.
