What a gem of a find. Great Breakfast and Nonni Sushi only 5 min walk for a tired traveller was frat food

Although on arrival my initial confidence in this choice of place to stay was mildly shaken when I found the previous guest’s stubble in the sink and unfortunately a less than sparking toilet, the check in procedure was very straightforward, the flat was amazingly peaceful and the building architecture and history fascinating.

The way this hotel operates is basically hands off. The rooms are nice but not anything special. You are on your own. No cleaning services, no fresh towels, on one in the office at the hotel. The restaurant is sporadically open although I have been told it is very good. In my room the microwave didn't work and lighting control is touch if one wants to sleep and the other wants to watch tv. You are expected to empty the trash and wash the dishes upon leaving or face a fee. The only reason I stay there is that it is extremely close to my daughters home.

We enjoyed our stay at Asplund. Access arrangements to the block and room were clear and straightforward to follow. It was a couple of minutes’ walk to the metro station - and then from there only a couple of stops to the centre of town. There are a few convenience stores nearby for supplies and basic essentials – as well as a nice few restaurants. The breakfast in the restaurant were lovely. Had great communications with the staff there during our stay. The room was nice, clean, minimalist but also catered for all our needs and had everything as advertised. The block was very quiet, the communal washing facilities were very easy to use, and the coffee machine in the lobby area was a nice touch.

If you know the history of the hotel before you will get a different first picture of that. It was a bacterial laboratory with some buildings from the late ninetheen-thirties. From that it’s turned to a quite cool hotel with a lot flats, a restaurant and a small gym. The main building has three floors. From the undermost floor - the basement - will you not really have a good perspective out of the window. It will only spend daylight in the flat. The hotel seems to be quite popular. Almost every day were people in the high hall of the main building. We didn‘t know the history before and thought „Wow where we are there?“ and „What our room is in the basement? Not really!“ But the room was quite good and we satisfied.

Very spacious and perfect for me and my older children

Lovely apartment in an interesting building. It’s a little way out of town but less than a10 min walk to tram and only a few stops to the centre of Stockholm There’s are few shops and restaurants around but we didn’t try any of them preferring instead to use the apartments well appointed kitchen

Unusual place - was the National Bacteriological Laboratory - they seemed to have cleaned it since. No obvious staff - you let yourself in with a pin code. Single room/studio apartment is small but clean and contains everything you need from hair drier to microwave. Location not great - in Solna but about 40 minutes walk from the Friend Stadium and Telia offices.

Easy and clean

Great rooms. Comfy beds and Great breakfast including avocados and yummy smoothies. Love this place

Good hotel, the only thing is that is far from Old Town.

Everything was perfect except that we paid for a breakfast and there was no breakfast at the weekend . Very disappointing .Next time do not offer breakfast if u can't provide.

I really like this second home concept. It's like living in your own apartment building.

We stayed for 4 nights starting from Wednesday the 23rd. and we were supposed to have reserved a room with breakfast included. Thursday mornig we couldn´t get up on time because we were to tyred, Friday we had an outstanding breakfast and Saturday as we arrived to the breakfast room, it was closet. At that moment we realised that there is no breakfast on Saturday and Sundays. When I made the reservation I never read anywhere that breakfast included was only from Monday to friday. If I had known that before I would never have booked that hotel because breakfast included I one of the things I always look for in hotels. Also the problem is that this hotel is far from everything and you have to walk a lot even to buy bread or take the Metro. The moment when we could talk with somebody from the hotel they checked our reservation and confirmed us that they charched us only to days of breakfast.

Although they advertise no reception services, which is fair enough, there were still people working there that were courteously able and willing to help. It is a bit difficult to get to and from if you have no car, in terms of walking to public transport, as it is out in the burbs. However the room (studio) for one was clean and well appointed, light and airy with high celings (designed by Gunnar for chemical experiments as they were back in the day). The lift being under repair was also a pest if you are up 2 floors, but the groceries you just lugged up can be prepared into a good meal, to avoid the outrageous Swedish prices for everything (including the groceries), in the kitchenette. It has a certain Swedish grace but was reasonably priced, as a result of the drawbacks noted earlier no doubt.

The Aspund apts are great. Very clean and updated with a nice lunch cafe attached. I would stay here again.

Safe Place, with full facilities and comfortable stay

Nice apartment, well designed and equippedOnly 15 minutes from central Stockholm by carGreat laundry facilities which was a bonusWe had breakfast in our flat so cant rate the restaurantOne downside was our flat was right over the restaurant loading area and Monday morning deliveries started at 5am which was extremrly loud even with ear plugs, ask for a unit on the other side

The studio I stayed in was comfortable and I had everything I needed. The downside of this stay was the distance to walk down a very slippery road to the nearest bus stop or tube station. I had the bad luck to end up here during some very bad winter weather. I think the staff should have taken care of the ground better at least outside the hotel entrance. I feel lucky not breaking some bones because of the slippery conditions. I also feel it was very dark outside the entrance. Some more lights would be good. This place has no hotel reception or staff on site regularly, which can be a disadvantage. Some staff were in though now and then but the odd thing is you were never greeted with a hello, which I find a bit odd. I loved my room and everything in it, but personally I dont think I will go back. It felt a bit isolated which is a shame. I also prefer staff on site.

The Asplund is an excellent hotel. Extremely comfortable. Well equipped kitchenette,and modern bathroom with fantastic shower. It is located in a very quiet area. The only suggestion I would make for improvement would be to provide directions from the metro station to the hotel.

It is too far from any metro station and you should walk 20 minutes each time you want to take a metro to the city.

Be prepare, that your room will be cleaned ONCE a week, if you stay more than a week. If less, forget about sleaning service. No replacement of shampoo, conditioner,soap, towels etc. if you stay less then a week as well.No tea, coffee bags. This hotel is for students. It was my big mistake to order this hotel. I have to reserve hotel which cost $10-$15 more and have a full service

The apartment was very comfortable for our 4 night stay in Stockholm. Clean, quiet and fully furnished. Big comfortable bed (many beds in Stockholm a small compared to US standards). 2 wall mounted TVs. Plenty of storage space for coats and clothes. A nice desk to work from. Adequate free Internet and a comfy couch and dinette table for 3. The kitchenette was perfect for cooking our own breakfast and even a dinner or too. Great way to save $$ because restaurants are expensive in Sweden, while the grocery store was not. The induction cooktop was great. never used one before. Loved it. it was fast and way better than our electric stove back home. The connected restaurant was nice for breakfast and looked good for dinner, but we didn't try it. Very nice staff. Only downside was the 10 minute walk to the t-banna. A bit too far to make it convenient to "just come home for a break".. so once we were out, we were basically out for the day. The only downside.

Stayed at the Asplund for a week during the Eurovision Song Contest in May. The location was surprising - in a very tranquil park setting which was nice to return to at the end of a busy day/night. The room was very modern, warm and comfortable. There was a full kitchen setup in the room with modern appliances and the bathroom was very clean with a powerful shower, I had a single bed room, but the bed was still very comfortable and slept very well. The included WiFi ran well for the duration of the stay, and TV selection good for those of us non-Swedish speakers. The breakfast offering was good - mostly continental selection, but they also ask if you if you'd like bacon & eggs which is brought out to you. There's also a good coffee machine. The only slight issue was no breakfast on the weekends (there's brunch on Saturdays from midday), so I brought some supplies from the supermarket at Västra skogen underground station (10 minutes walk away) to cover the weekend. I did however find a filled roll and some drinks in my fridge on the weekend, days so the staff still had us in mind! Didn't get a chance to try the restaurant at night, but the menu looked good. To get to the hotel at the start/end of the trip, I taxied from Solna main line station (about 5 mins drive away) which connects directly to Arlanda airport. For daily travel, used the underground at Västra skogen which is an easy 10 min walk from the Asplund. Overall good choice and can recommend.

There is no staff available, you are given a code before arriving to enter hotel and bedroom. The rooms are very new, quite quiet, even though our room gave on to an air-conditioning unit and the daily rubbish collection outside our window, I am sure the other side must be quieter. The restaurant is reasonably priced, but only serves breakfast (very nice) and lunch. It is closed in the evening. Public transport (underground) is about 10-15 minutes walk away, as is the large shopping centre.
