Tourists who already possesses some experience of Scandinavia traveling know well about its high prices. Thus when we are talking about where to stay in Stockholm we should say that there are several kinds of Stockholm accomodation – affordable hostels, rather costly hotels and expensive luxurious hotels and apartments.
Saving solution
The hotels of globally known chains are too expensive as places to stay in Stockholm for thrifty travelers and students. The main goal for these tourists is to simply enjoy the Swedish capital and to explore as much as they can, they are not connected to a particular Stockholm b&b place. All money savers and students usually try to find a cheaper accommodation in Stockholm. Luckily, serious competition about Stockholm hotels makes them provide tempting discounts and bargain offers – take the advantage of it in case if you don’t really like hostels but also don’t want to pay too much.
Many authentic Swedish stylish and neat hotels may be found in whole center the capital. The possibility to come on a seasonal discount and book a great hotel room for cheap is truly high. The last but not least argument is that it is much more enjoyable to stay in a place built and arranged in the traditional Swedish style than in an ordinary hostel tends to look exactly like other European hostels.
What about staying on a ship?
Looking at the map we see that actually cheap accomodation in Stockholm is situated near water. It is the main reason for people calling it “Northern Venetia”. All ship hotels are situated in the heart of Stockholm so a tourist will have everything close. There are both affordable hotels and hostels in such ships from 20 Euros for a room. One will hardly find more unusual accomodation in Stockholm.
Experienced tourists also say that choosing a ship is actually much better than in any “land hotel”. According to the tourists’ words, Stockholm ships are basically staying near the central part of the city. 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 can also become a good idea. Due to quite high pension in Sweden local people can afford such costly rent, which means you are better to be ready for the prices. It means that local people are OK with such prices, but foreign tourists are usually disappointed.
A sensible solution is to find a small house situated far from the center of the city. It will let you save some decent money and see how local people in ordinary districts live. It will become a memorable time for you. You will be able to compare ordinary districts to the famous central part of Stockholm too.
If you are interested in seeing an ordinary life in Stockholm staying in a small house far from center is obviously the best decision. There are lots of awesome things around non-touristic districts too. That is how one can get the full view of Stockholm.
When comfort is important
Nevertheless, some people need very high comfort. A prestigious hotel with ample rooms and delicious breakfasts are the best then. There are prestigious hotels of almost all world players like Radisson and Sheraton. Additionally you could check out local hotels. Small Stockholm hotels may also be luxurious and comfortable enough to come up to all your expectations.
As for staying in the very center we could recommend Grand Hotel – its location is undoubtedly the best. All famous museums, all splendid views and all cool bars and clubs will be within walking distance that is really convenient. Unfortunately, the booking costs can be embarrassing for the tourists who expected the costs for rooms like in other Western countries.
Surfing for a coach
Surely, only traditional places like hotels and some hostels offer bed and breakfast in Stockholm. If you don’t really need what is mentioned above – go and try Couchsurfing. There you will meet hundreds of people from different countries and cities including, of course, Stockholm who are inviting tourists to come and stay. There is no difficulty at all – create a personal Couchsurfing account and find an available host in Stockholm. It’s going to be a really affordable way to discover Stockholm and to get new friends.
