With more than 200 rooms, this hotel is just too big to live up to its slogan, \"a home away from home.\" But it does try to conjure up that image with its friendly and helpful staff, among the finest we've discovered in chilly Stockholm. There are grace notes such as a library with more than 4,000 volumes and a small rock garden. To play up its image as an English-inspired hotel, they've even added rows of flower boxes to brighten up the concrete exterior. It was built in 1956 and has been renovated several times, including a big expansion in 2005 that added dozens of rooms. Most rooms still have standard decor, and many are quite small; but each unit contains well-kept bathrooms with tub/showers.
