Nordic Light Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Nordic Light Hotel feels like stepping into a sleek Scandinavian design magazine — but in the best possible way. The lobby has this cool, minimalist vibe with warm lighting that somehow makes you feel instantly relaxed after navigating Stockholm‘s bustling streets. I mean, the location alone is pretty spectacular — you’re literally steps away from Central Station, which honestly makes getting around the city ridiculously easy.

Prime Stockholm Location

Here’s the thing about Vasaplan — it’s one of those addresses that just works for everything. You can walk to Gamla Stan in about fifteen minutes, hit the shopping districts without breaking a sweat, and there’s always something happening nearby. The couples who stay here absolutely love it (they rate the location 9.6, which is pretty telling), and I get why. You’re in Norrmalm, so you’re basically in the heart of everything without feeling overwhelmed by tourist crowds. Plus, having parking available right at the hotel is actually a big deal in Stockholm — trust me on this one.

The Room Experience

The rooms have this distinctly Nordic aesthetic that feels both modern and cozy at the same time. What I really appreciated was how thoughtfully designed everything felt — the lighting can shift from bright and energizing to warm and ambient depending on your mood. The room I stayed in had these floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of natural light during those long summer days, and honestly, the blackout curtains were a lifesaver during white nights season. The beds are seriously comfortable, and there’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in properly.

Food That Actually Delivers

You know what surprised me most? The food here is genuinely excellent — not just “good for hotel food” but actually worth seeking out. The breakfast buffet is one of those spreads that makes you want to wake up early, with everything from traditional Swedish items to international options that don’t feel like an afterthought. The restaurant serves dinner that locals actually come to eat, which tells you something. I had their take on modern Scandinavian cuisine, and it was the kind of meal that made me rethink what four-star hotel dining could be.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about this place that just clicks — maybe it’s how the staff seems to anticipate what you need without being overly formal about it, or how the design feels authentically Swedish rather than trying too hard. The 8.6 rating makes perfect sense when you experience how smoothly everything runs here. Whether you’re in Stockholm for business or exploring the archipelago, this hotel gives you that perfect base where you can recharge between adventures. It’s not trying to be the flashiest place in the city, but it absolutely nails what it sets out to do.

Reviews of Nordic Light Hotel

  • Pete from Canada (9/10)

    Clean, comfortable, friendly staff, good breakfast. The location is perfect for easy access to the airport, about a minute walk to the express airport train. Centrally located in the modern city centre, a nice walk (about 20-50 minutes) to most of the main sights.

  • Brian from Australia (9/10)

    Great location, friendly staff and good breakfast

  • Graham from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Right next door (50m) to the Arlanda express terminal and perfect location for travelling around Stockholm and lots of good restaurants within walking distance. The food in the hotel’s restaurant was very good and reasonably priced for Stockholm where things tend to be more expensive. Breakfast was the best we have had in Stockholm. Great variety and plenty of seating.

  • Mei from Hong Kong (9/10)

    Efficient and clean
    Friendly staff from check in to check out
