Scandic GO, Sankt Eriksgatan 20

Scandic GO, Sankt Eriksgatan 20 Overview

First Impressions

Scandic GO, Sankt Eriksgatan 20 doesn’t try to be something it’s not — and honestly, that’s kind of refreshing. It’s a three-star hotel that knows its lane, keeps things clean and functional, and delivers on what actually matters to most travelers. The moment you walk in, there’s a no-fuss energy to the place that I genuinely appreciated. Nothing flashy, but nothing disappointing either.

Location & Neighborhood

The hotel sits on Kungsholmen, one of Stockholm’s more residential islands — and if you haven’t spent time there, you’re in for a treat. It’s got a real neighborhood feel, with bakeries, local cafés, and parks that most tourists never bother to find. You’re not right in the thick of Gamla Stan’s crowds, but you’re close enough that getting there takes maybe fifteen minutes on foot or a quick metro hop. Couples especially seem to love it here — the area rated 8.9 for two-person trips, which tracks, because it’s the kind of place that feels like you’re actually living in Stockholm rather than just passing through.

The Rooms

The rooms are compact — I mean, this is Stockholm, so don’t expect sprawling square footage at this price point. What you do get is a well-thought-out space that’s tidy, comfortable, and has everything you need without a lot of clutter. The beds are solid, the linens are clean, and the overall vibe is that sort of Scandinavian practicality that just works. It’s not going to blow your mind, but you’ll sleep well and feel rested, which is sort of the whole point.

The Vibe & Guests

One thing that stood out to me is how many repeat guests this place has — apparently more than most comparable properties, which says something real. People come back, and that’s not something that happens by accident. There’s a consistency here, a reliability, that budget-conscious travelers and weekend visitors clearly appreciate. The staff seem to know what they’re doing, and the whole operation runs smoothly without feeling corporate or cold. You know what, it just feels like a place that genuinely tries to get it right every time.

Why Guests Love It

At the end of the day, Scandic GO, Sankt Eriksgatan 20 earns its 8.3 rating by being exactly what it promises — a well-located, well-run three-star hotel in one of Stockholm’s most livable neighborhoods. It’s the kind of place that works brilliantly for couples exploring the city, solo travelers who want a reliable base, or anyone who’d rather spend their money on great Swedish food and experiences than on a hotel room they’ll barely be in. If you’re heading to Stockholm and want something honest, comfortable, and genuinely well-situated, this one deserves a serious look.

Reviews of Scandic GO, Sankt Eriksgatan 20

• Uygar from Germany (9/10)

  We loved everything about here. Location-wise it's great, very close to the metro and bus lines, in a nice neighborhood with sweet cafes. The room interior is quite nice and the room itself is very functional, beds were comfy, and we also loved the lobby and overall design of the hotel. Staff were kind and helpful, special thanks to Anton. Next time we are in Stockholm we will certainly be staying here again.

• Medcu from Serbia (8/10)

  Perfect location. Bus stop for airport coach to Arlanda (company called Flygbussarna) is 1 min walk away.
  
  You can stream Youtube/etc. from your phone to TV in the room (using Chromecast feature).

• Yury from Poland (8/10)

  Its location in the city. It look fresh and refurbished.
  Having a hair drier is superb.

• Marifay from Greece (7/10)

  Helpful staff

• Sergey from United States (9/10)

  It’s incredible how people in their reviews point out the agreement clauses that they don’t like as “negative experience”. Well, I realize that one could book a bed in a hostel room for 16 persons and put absence of iced Champagne as a “negative experience”, but, seriously guys? You book a room which says “no window” and you put this “no window” in negative experience? Very consistent…
  I paid 120 Eur for 2 nights in the very center of Stockholm. I studied closely the room description and the pictures, the list of facilities etc. As I see it, the most important is that the property doesn’t lie to you promising things that are not there. I received exactly what I booked. Yes, there were no chairs, only one foldable stool. Yes, there were no kettles, windows and other things that would have been nice to have, but which I never expected. Yes, probably, a room in Hyatt would have been more spacious with tables, chairs, kettles and windows, but all those would come at a price. We returned to the room in order to sleep, take a shower and use the bathroom – we never aimed higher and we were totally fine. Living in such a room is not really possible: it’s too small for that.
  Now, the room was quiet, we never heard the neighbors. Ventilation works fine: we were provided 2 towels each and they got dry in 6-7 hrs easily by themselves on the hooks. Shampoo and liquid soap were there. A free hot long shower was really nice: I came from Southern Europe where we don’t have such luxury. A bed was ok, separate blankets also ok. I counted 3 220V sockets in the room, 2 in the bathroom and 2 usb ports which I didn’t try. All the free space on the walls was in hooks and different hangers which was enough for us. Wi-fi was 50 mbps both ways.
  Oh, loved the area. It's the center and it's rather quiet at the same time, just as I like it. A Flygbussarna bus stop to/from Arlanda is 2 minutes walk.

• John from Spain (7/10)

  It was clean and modern, well thought out, well situated, very close to some nice restaurants and public transport

• Irmak from Netherlands (8/10)

  The hotel is clean, functional, and offers all the basics you need for a short trip. The location is convenient, making it easy to explore the city, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. It’s not luxurious, but for the price, it delivers great value. Perfect for travelers who want a clean and affordable place to rest without unnecessary extras.

• Jiri from Czech Republic (7/10)

  Cleanliness and functional arrangement.

• Zoe from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The location was amazing, lovely neighbourhood very close to Stockholm centre.
  The room was very small (which we knew from the pictures) but the bed was large and very comfortable. The bathroom was also a great size and the shower was fab.
  We really didn’t mind not having a window at all and there was no light in the room from the corridor which was appreciated.
  The hotel was lovely and warm despite the freezing temperatures outside and our WiFi was really good too.
  The free lockers to store your belongings pre/post stay were also brilliant as they allowed us to spend our last day sightseeing unburdened.

• Kathe from Brazil (7/10)

  Great location. Next to the subway station and bus stop. Also 30min maximum walk from main tourist spots. Hotel is very modern and new, the reception is beautiful, they have lockers as well. Great staff.
