Best Western Plus Park City Hammarby Sjöstad

Best Western Plus Park City Hammarby Sjöstad Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Best Western Plus Park City Hammarby Sjöstad, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical chain hotel. The building sits in one of Stockholm’s most interesting neighborhoods — Hammarby Sjöstad — which honestly feels more like a planned community than a tourist district. This four-star property has that clean Scandinavian aesthetic you’d expect, but there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about it. The lobby feels modern without being cold, and the staff actually seems to remember guests who return (which happens more often here than at most hotels, apparently).

The Neighborhood Experience

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re technically on Södermalm, but in this eco-friendly district that most tourists never discover. Hammarby Sjöstad was built as a model sustainable neighborhood, so you’ll find yourself walking along waterfront paths and through areas that feel more residential than touristy. The tram connections are solid, getting you into central Stockholm in about 15 minutes, but honestly, I found myself just wandering the local area more than I expected. There are decent cafes within walking distance, and the whole vibe is very “how actual Stockholmers live” rather than tourist central.

Rooms and Comfort

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d want from a well-run Best Western Plus — clean lines, comfortable bed, and those little touches that show someone’s paying attention to details. The windows are properly soundproofed, which matters since you’re near some busy streets. What surprised me was how much natural light the rooms get, even in winter when Stockholm’s daylight is pretty limited. The bathroom setup is efficient without feeling cramped, and there’s actually enough space to spread out your stuff without everything ending up on the floor.

Breakfast Worth Mentioning

I’ll be honest — hotel breakfasts usually don’t excite me, but this one’s actually worth getting up for. They’ve got this extensive buffet setup with proper continental options, but also American-style items if that’s your thing. What impressed me most was how they handle dietary restrictions — vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options that don’t feel like afterthoughts. The breakfast restaurant area gets good morning light, and you can grab items to go if you’re rushing out to catch a ferry or train.

Why Guests Love It

The parking situation alone makes this place stand out in Stockholm — having private parking at a hotel in this city is genuinely rare and saves you both money and hassle. But what really works here is the combination of being connected to the city while staying somewhere that feels distinctly Swedish rather than generically international. Couples seem particularly drawn to this spot, probably because the neighborhood has this romantic, waterside quality that’s hard to find in busier parts of Stockholm. You know what? Sometimes the best hotel experiences happen when you’re slightly off the beaten path, and this place gets that balance just right.

Best hotels in Stockholm blend sauna decks, chef-led smörgåsbord tastings, and Scandi-chic lounges.

• Sylvester from Lithuania (9/10)

  The location is very good, less than a 3-minute walk to the tram station; the rooms are spacious with amenities; I was even surprised to find a pressing iron and board inside my room. The breakfast was superb, and the staff is great.

• Lasse from Finland (7/10)

  The hotel has its own parking hall with direct access to the hotel which is good if you travel by car. We had a cat with us and the room was prepared for that, so we got some value for the extra charge (EUR 30) for the pet. Breakfast was much better in this hotel than in an other nearby hotel with more expensive room rate.

  View was nice, breakfast was good and great variety. Shower was spacious. I enjoyed free entry to the gym. Location was quite and close to nature and public transport.
