Wasa Park Hotel, a 17-room pension perched above St. Eriksplan square has been in operation since the 1950s. Housed in a 1920s building with a massive curved arcade, simple Wasa Park is one of Stockholm's most relaxed and quaint little hotels.
As you stroll in, Wasa Park feels like an elegant yet slightly run-down townhouse. Rooms tell a different story altogether. Immaculate and outfitted mostly in white, they are paired with understated floral print blue and white wallpaper and oriental rugs on the floors. Best of all, they are capacious and airy.
There's got to be a catch, right? Well, there is, sort of. Only one room at the Wasa Park has full private bathroom facilities; another has a toilet but no bath. In other words, virtually all of the rooms share bathroom facilities. So weigh this reality against location and price to make the call.
Consider Wasa Park's plusses. Its price range is among the cheapest in Stockholm. Its location is fantastic, sitting on top of the St. Eriksplan metro stop in Vasastaden. And lastly, its style -- a kind of Swedish antique revivalism -- is fun and classy. We're tempted to bestow Wasa Park our award for Best Overall Deal in Stockholm. Didn't know that we had such an award? Neither did we, at least not until this very moment.
