Downtown Camper by Scandic

Downtown Camper by Scandic Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Downtown Camper by Scandic, you immediately get the sense that someone actually thought about what travelers want. This four-star hotel sits right on Brunkebergstorg in the heart of Stockholm, and honestly — the location couldn’t be better. I mean, you’re literally in Norrmalm, which puts you within walking distance of pretty much everything worth seeing. The lobby has this modern Scandinavian vibe that feels welcoming without trying too hard, and there’s something refreshing about a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously despite being in such a prime spot.

The Room Experience

Here’s what I really appreciated — the beds are genuinely comfortable, not just hotel-marketing comfortable. You know how some places claim to have great beds but you end up tossing and turning? That’s not the case here. The room design follows that clean Nordic aesthetic, but it’s functional too. Everything has its place, and the windows actually open (which is rarer than you’d think in modern hotels). The bathrooms are well-designed, though not huge — but honestly, when you’re exploring Stockholm all day, you’re mainly just sleeping here anyway.

Location & Getting Around

What really sets this place apart is where it sits. Couples especially seem to love the location — and I can see why. You’re close enough to Gamla Stan that you can walk there in about ten minutes, but you’re also right near the main shopping areas and transport links. The Central Station is practically next door, which makes getting to and from Arlanda airport pretty straightforward. Plus, you’ve got the waterfront nearby, so those classic Stockholm views are just a short stroll away.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast buffet is solid — nothing groundbreaking, but it covers all the bases with both Swedish classics and international options. They do a good job with the coffee, which matters more than you might think when you’re dealing with jet lag or early morning sightseeing plans. The restaurant area has a relaxed atmosphere, and the staff seems genuinely helpful rather than just going through the motions. I appreciated that they keep things running smoothly even when it gets busy during peak breakfast hours.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the fanciest hotel in Stockholm, but it gets the fundamentals right. The combination of that excellent location, comfortable accommodations, and reasonable pricing makes it a smart choice. Recent guests consistently rate the location highly — and when you’re actually staying here, you understand why. You can walk to most major attractions, the metro connections are excellent, and you’re in a neighborhood that feels authentically Stockholm rather than just touristy. It’s the kind of place where you spend your time exploring the city instead of hanging around the hotel, which is exactly what you want in a destination like this.
