Hotel Haymarket by Scandic, Stockholm
Expert reviews
“Opened in 2016, the Haymarket is Scandic Hotels’ landmark 405-room property in the historic PUB building, a former department store where Greta Garbo once sold hats. The grand interiors reference the 1920s with Art Deco-inspired décor in the lobby, brasserie, cafe and cocktail bar.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Stockholm, Sweden.
“Located in the 1920s department store where actress Greta Garbo worked in the hat department, this hotel breaths the Roaring Twenties with a grand lobby with Art Deco details and a jazzy atmosphere, right in the city centre.”

Nice place overall and excellent location
Breakfast was good, hotel had a nice atmosphere. Location was excellent. The bathroom in my room was very well put together and felt polished.
The overall vibe of the room didn't work for me. It was simulated wood flooring which is horrible, no carpet around the bed... room felt awkward and cold, not warming and charming. The bathroom was excellent and the bed was ok, however the pillows were very thick and not very comfortable, however I do understand that is different for everyone. The reception when I arrived was not overly welcoming... they were very aggressive about upgrading my room, encouraging me to do so, which I did, but the upgrade was disappointing.

There was an old hat and towel behind the luggage box which suggests that the cleaning could be improved.

Great location in central Stockholm
The staff was kind, welcoming, accommodating and always smiling. The breakfast spread was amazing. The location was perfect for sightseeing - 8 minutes from the train station and the Arlanda express, you could basically walk to any of the main attractions in the city. Beds were very comfortable, rooms spacious and decorated in a lovely art deco style.
The fabric on the bed had a few of what appeared to be blood stains, so I let reception know - they were apologetic and quickly moved me to another room. The room was overall clean but a bit dusty, which I find to be quite common though when staying in Swedish hotels for some reason. I had breakfast quite early (8-8:30 on a weekend) and the area was already starting to get quite crowded, so booking a table would be recommendable in my opinion. The hairdryer was one of those tiny ones. I spent hours drying my long hair - please consider having more powerful ones in a hotel of this caliber and price point.

A fabulous stay in a great hotel, in a great city.
Beautiful hotel, in a great location.
We were initially given an unsuitable room that wasn’t what we had booked. The reception staff were very helpful and moved us immediately.

A lovely hotel right in the centre of Stockholm
The room was lovely - very quirky design and super clean! The location was so central and handy for public transport. The staff were excellent.
The room was a little small.

Good location for a few days in Stockholm.
For the price you pay you would expect daily cleaning of the room (you can request it but it's not automatically done). I fully agree that it is not necessary to change bed linen, towels etc but think it would be nice with a quick clean. Breakfast was a bit basic.

Location was phenomenal and staff was accommodating. I needed a fan and they had one brought up to my room.
The room was very small and barely had enough room to move around comfortably.

Gorgeous hotel, amazing staff, super location.
I had the single room without windows and it still was gorgeous, with great shower. The bed and those pillows were the best ever.
It wasn't very clean. There were spots everywhere. The bed was clean and I just got a free and very welcome early check in from the lovely lady so I didn't feel like complaining. Also the breakfast was nice, but not 30 eurp nice.

Excellent value for money great staff and facilities. 4 min walk to airport train station
Brilliant location close to everything. Great breakfast, bar and extremely helpful reception staff. We arrived early and one room was not ready so they changed one room to allow a slightly earlier check in. Rooms were big and overlooking the square

Great getaway to Stockholm.
Fantastic central location, breakfast buffet was excellent lots of choice that covered everybody's needs. Sunday market on the square outside the hotel was worth a visit.

Very nice hotel, a great base to explore Stockholm
We loved our stay at Haymarket hotel. The location is great for exploring Stockholm and is close to the central train and coach station for easy connection to the airport and for travelling to Gotland where we went next. Very close to a metro stop too. The art deco style decor of the hotel is beautiful, the breakfast selection was very good and the staff helpful and courteous. It didn't feel expensive for central Stockholm either. Easy to recommend.
Nothing to do with the hotel itself but the concert house across the square is currently under renovation which somewhat spoiled the view from our room which would have been perfect otherwise

Great stay in the heart of the city.
Cosy feeling themed hotel in the centre of Stockholm. Spacious room. Great breakfast. Very helpful staff.
Segmentation of guests at breakfast to 2 different areas with one being more luxurious than the other. Allocation seems to be based on dress code.

Comfy, very nice staff
The main thing I didn't like is the fact that the check-in time is so late (4pm) and that they couldn't guarantee an early check-in. In the end, it worked out ok, I could check-in early, but the fact I wasn't sure whether I would be able to shower and change after a 12 hours flight, before heading to my meeting was a little nerve-wrecking.

Location and breakfast where good
Went to reception and checked in made sure it was original booking plus extra night through booking. Com. On second night our room keys didn't work Went to reception and checked on our booking again , sorry from staff should be fine now after playing with computer. They had a box for putting room keys in on check out. I then get an email stating we had not paid when we left. I had forgotten that we had only logged the credit card not actually paid staff should have taken payment on arrival feel very embarrassed

Very good location. Nice hotel with good common areas.
Common areas were great. Restaurant and bar were excellent. Staff were friendly and prompt. The bathroom in our bedroom was very pleasant.
The room was a bit cramped and the hallways had small stairs every few meters which made moving heavy luggage very difficult.

Great atmosphere and fantastic location.
Excellent location, fantastic breakfast.
The only downside was I had a cosy single room and the only way to get into the bed was to climb in from the end as it was against a wall on one side and on the other side an oversized wardrobe that you couldn’t open and use.
