Where to stay in Stockholm
Travelers who already have some experience of Scandinavia traveling know well about its costliness. To put it short we’d like to say that those searching for where to stay in Stockholm or Stockholm accomodation can choose among the following variants – affordable (ships, hostels, some hotels), moderately expensive (hotels) and finally expensive (luxurious hotels).
Saving solution
Not everyone really wants and can afford places to stay in Stockholm like a hotel – for example Park Inn or Sheraton. Such a decision is just normal since high level of comfort of Stockholm b&b is unimportant for certain type of travelers. Generally young tourists and just people who don’t want to waste too much like Stockholm hostels. But don’t hurry up too much – you have a big chance to put up at a hotel that is more comfortable than any hostel for the same money.
Just go for a good walk around Stockholm and you will discover really many tiny and cozy hotels with attractive prices. The possibility to come on a seasonal discount and reserve a brilliant room for cheap is truly high. To sum up, it’s definitely better to find a room in a local authentic hotel than to stay in a boring hostel full of irritating and noisy meanies.
What about staying on a ship?
What about staying on a ship?
On the map we see that actually cheap accomodation in Stockholm is situated close to big water. That is why people call Stockholm “Northern Venetia”. Getting a room in a ship provides you with a big opportunity to live in the very center. One will be surprised with how much lower the room prices in a ship are comparing to any other opportunities in Stockholm. What a nice accommodation in Stockholm, isn’t it?.
Read Internet forums and make sure that other tourists confirm it – hundreds of them prefer ships as well. The travelers say that it’s incredibly convenient to live in a ship due to fantastic location. So you will get both available price and small distance to dozens of fabulous attractions.
Be a Swedish
Rental house or apartment can also be a worthy idea. It is relatively expensive choice, but you should consider that the average salary and pension in Sweden is among the highest in the world. Actually that is the reason of why rental houses are not that popular.
A reasonable solution is to choose a small house situated far from the center of the city. You will thus save money and see how Stockholm inhabitants live. It will be a memorable experience for you. It will let you compare ordinary districts to the famous central part of Stockholm too.
If you are interested in seeing a real life in Stockholm staying in a small house far from center is the best decision. Non-touristic areas are also very interesting. If you wish to see the full picture – live among local people but not with other tourists.
Luxury and comfort
Finally, there is another kind of tourists. These are the people who prefer total comfort in everything. If you really need to have a great bed, a clean and modern bathroom and eat delicious meals in the hotel restaurant – select a hotel. Stockholm can offer a large number of international hotel chains. Local hotel chains can be attractive as well. Small Stockholm inns and hotels can also be luxurious and comfortable enough to meet all your expectations.
Grand Hotel is probably the best place where a wealthy tourist could put up at since this amazing hotel is located right in the very center of the city. You will be able to quickly walk to the majority of attractions from there. Unfortunately, the room costs can be embarrassing for the people who expected the room prices like in other Western countries.
Surfing for a coach
When speaking about bed and breakfast in Stockholm we all start thinking about hotels, hostels and rental apartments. However, there is a different way to find a place for open-minded people – an online service called Couchsurfing. It’s really easy to get a place in Stockholm even if you have never done it before. There is no difficulty at all – make a personal profile on Couchsurfing and find an available Stockholm host. It’s going to become a very affordable way to discover the city and to meet new good friends.
