Bed and breakfast in Stockholm
All tourists who have enjoyed Sweden and Scandinavia perfectly know that it’s definitely not the most affordable touristic place in Europe. That is why when speaking about where to stay in Stockholm we say there are several types of Stockholm accomodation – affordable hostels, rather costly hotels and luxurious hotels and apartments.
Saving solution
Not everybody wants and can pay for places to stay in Stockholm like a prestigious hotel – for example Radisson or Sheraton. Such a thing is totally normal since luxurious comfort of Stockholm b&b plays no role for many foreign tourists. All savers and young students prefer to find a cheaper accommodation in Stockholm. But don’t hurry up too much – you have an amazing opportunity to put up at a hotel which is more comfortable than hostel paying same amount of money.
Take a walk around Stockholm and you will quickly find a vast number of tiny and neat hotels with attractive prices. The best thing related to them is that once in a while they present really attractive price offers like offers for a season and various discounts. The last but not least pro argument is that it is far more enjoyable to live in a place built and arranged in the traditional Scandinavian style than in a usual hostel usually looks pretty like all other hostels.
What about staying on a ship?
Those who like geography know that Swedish capitan is an island city and cheap accomodation in Stockholm can be found on ships. That is why people call Stockholm “Northern Venetia”. Getting a room in a ship gives you a great opportunity to live in the very center. Finally, the best advantage is that those ships are much more affordable than ordinary hotels. What a nice accommodation in Stockholm, isn’t it?.
Check online forums and make sure that people confirm it – hundreds of them also prefer ships. The tourists say that it’s really convenient to put up at a ship because of fantastic location. So you will get both available price and small distance to dozens of fabulous attractions.
Feel the life of a Stockholm inhabitant
Rental house or apartment may also become a worthy idea. Due to high pension in Sweden Swedish citizens can easily afford to pay expensive rent, therefore you need to be ready for unexpectedly high prices. Well, that is the main reason of why rental houses are not that popular.
A sensible solution would be to choose a small house far from the center of the city. It’s not about saving money only – you will lead the same life just as the locals do. Undoubtedly, such experience is very good. It is also a fabulous chance to check whether there is a big different between center and other districts of Stockholm.
If you are interested in seeing an ordinary life in Stockholm renting a small house which is remote from center is obviously the best possible decision. There are many awesome things around non-touristic districts too. That’s how one can get the complete view of the Swedish capital.
Luxury and comfort
Finally, there is one more segment of travelers. These are the people needing absolute comfort in everything. You can get all these benefits only in a four or five star hotel. There are very comfortable hotels of almost all world companies like Radisson and Sheraton. It’s a nice idea to check out local hotel chains too. Moreover, you will see some hotels which are much more beautiful and Swedish.
As for putting up at the very city center we would recommend you Grand Hotel – its location is undoubtedly the best. Historical sites, museums, restaurants – everything is literally within a short walking distance from Grand Hotel. The only disadvantage is that the room costs are higher than in other Western countries.
Find new friends and a new couch
Undoubtedly, only traditional resorts like hotels offer bed and breakfast in Stockholm. If you don’t really need it – try Couchsurfing. Without any serious efforts you can find a vast number of hosts in the capital of Sweden. There is no difficulty at all – create an profile on Couchsurfing and find your Stockholm host. It will be the most affordable and – if you adore talking to new people – most fascinating way to discover Swedish capital.
