I stayed at the First Hotel Royal Star for a few nights while visiting some exhibitions at Stockholmsmässan. The room was cosy with a nice bed and bathroom, and free internet always comes in handy. The heated bathroom floor tiles were a nice touch in the middle of winter! My only real complaint is that the food plates that people... More

I have stayed the the First Hotel Royal Star once before 2 years ago without problems however this time the experience was not good. After I checked in and went into my room I was in for a horrible surprise, the room was old and clearly worn out which given the price per night was unacceptable so I went to... More

Perfect location next to the Stockholm Exposition Center with easy commutes to the city centre thanks to the commuter train. Very clean and my room was cosy! The bed was extremely comfortable. I enjoyed having a heated bathroom floor. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. I ate twice at the restaurant and each time it was delicious. A... More

First Hotel Royal Star: WOW! What a fantastic hotel! We stayed here to attend the annual Stockholm Oktoberfest (yes, it's in August in Sweden!) which was held on the Stockholmsmässan fairgrounds just a 5 minute stroll from the hotel. Our room was massive and included a comfy bed, two chairs, a table, free wifi and a flatscreen TV with countless... More

Although I had booked a double room with my partner they gave us a room with a cot in it ("You don't have to pay extra for it" "But there's... More

We used this hotel as a base for a few sightseeing days in Stockholm and booked via destination Stockholm so we got our Stockholm alacarte cards included. It was so close to Alvsjö train station and only a 10 min trip to central station - the trains came so frequently you never needed to check the timetables. The alacarte cards... More

Stayed here twice this year, February and May, both pleasant trips. Rooms are lovely and have all the amenities you need when travelling. Lovely breakfast selection to set you up for the day too.

Just 10 minute commuter train ride from T-Centralen, also close to Alvsjo bus station. Probably too pricey, but this is Sweden after all - nothing here is cheap :) Free wifi (ask for the access code at the reception) / gym / sauna. Oh, and the breakfast is included.

I would give this hotel 2 and a half stars at best. DO NOT stay here in the warmer months as there is no air conditioning. I was originally on the first floor and didn't feel safe having the door to the balcony open at night as I was travelling alone. I got moved to a higher floor where I... More
