Rex Petit

Dette hotel valgte vi dels for prisen, men også for beliggenheden. 5-10 minutters gang fra centrum af Stockholm, men i nærheden af hotellen vrimler det med pubber, cafeér og spisesteder. Morgenbuffeten er helt perfekt, den kan man godt klare sig længe på. Lufthavnsbussen holder et kvarters gang fra hotellet, og T-banen er lige om hjørnet. Selv om værelset er lille, gik det perfekt med at være der 2 personer, trods den ene er 2 meter høj, og der blev heller ikke som frygtet for varmt på værelset.

As we are traveling for three months, we like to book some budget rooms to save money. We did this at the Rex Petit by reserving a economy double with shared bathroom being aware it was in the basement and windowless. A funky experience. The room, more like a cave, was small but still had room for luggage. The bed was comfortable and there was a desk with a chair to put your computer on. The bathroom area was clean and there was a separate toilet which was VERY small. If you have difficulty there is another toilet upstairs. Water was hot and good pressure in the shower. We are in our 60's and would mention that the stairs down to the rooms are quite steep but we managed with our luggage. The lounge area upstairs is very comfortable and has complimentary tea and coffee. Breakfast is served upstairs and has an excellent assortment of food. Be aware that the only hot options are scrambled eggs, bacon and some boiled eggs. There is, however, plenty of cold options including fresh fruit, cereals, various types of bread and rolls, biscuits, cheese, meats and pate etc. The closest Metro station is Rädmansgaten, just a few minutes walk away on the green line. Metros are marked with a blue T. From here it is two stops to Centralen where the airport Flygbussarna comes in. You can purchase single tickets online for 99 Kroner. If you choose to use the ticket machine or pay the driver direct it is 119 Kroner. For general transport I would suggest you buy a pass for 100 Kroner which last 24 hours from the time you purchased it. We only paid 80 Kroner for a pensioner pass. I think you can get longer if needed. The area around the Rex Petit is quiet and you can easily walk to cafes and shops. Just a tip - when you arrive at the hotel you will not see Rex Petit. Enter through the Rex Hotel door and you will find reception for both. All in all good value and great location.

great location

The hotel was very nice and valuable. The staff was helpful. Shared bathroom and WC were clean all the time.

We picked the very small basement room as hotel rooms in Stockholm are expensive. Whilst the room was as small as we expected the bed was the softest one we have encountered on this trip. The staff were very helpful and we enjoyed the stay.

it really is petit, to the point that 2 people staying in the room would be uncomfortable to say the least. one person would be fine i'd imagine.

I thought I'd not find sleeping in a windowless room to be that bad - I was wrong. It's horrible. Part of the problem was that I hadn't realised just how small the room would be - it was tiny. I also hadn't realised that it had bunk beds. The lower bunk is a small double, which takes up most of the room - it's enclosed on 3 sides by the walls of the room, and on the 4th side there's only 1 metre at most. That wall also contains the door to the tiny bathroom. The top bunk is a single - I just used it for clothes, as there is no wardrobe space at all - just a couple of hooks on the wall. The bathroom is very small but not bad, although the toilet is much too close to the basin. The shower is good, but the doors don't seal properly at the bottom, so you always end up flooding the bathroom. Avoid these rooms, particularly since they're so expensive.

Detta måste vara det minsta hotellrum jag någonsin bott i! Det gick bokstavligt talat att nå badrummet med ett steg från sängen. Allt var dock välplanerat och fungerade bra men två personer i 4 nätter var lite för länge, för så lång vistelse är rummet lite för litet. En kraftig person ska nog tänka sig för två gånger innan han/hon bokar ett av dessa fönsterlösa rum i källaren.

Rummet var av vandrarhemsstandard. Trodde inte det var möjligt att man har minimala rum under jorden. Kan tänka mig att många får cellskräck av det minimala rummet utan fönster och nere i källaren. Jag funderade mest över vad som händer om det blir översvämmning. Frukosten var ok men ingen hotellfrukost som man är van vid i Sverige. Kommer aldrig mer att övernatta på detta hotell, eller snarare vandrarhem. Jag har lärt mig en läxa att alltid läsa igenom det finstilta på bokningen. Men att det låg i i källaren framgick inte.
