Forenom Aparthotel Stockholm Alvik

I lived here for almost a month as a student. Had no issues with the room - it was clean, and spacious, and the windows open. The room is cleaned on a weekly basis (fresh kitchen and bath towels). The kitchen is stocked with basics like a pot, a few knives, a set of silverware, two bowls, 2 plates, 2 cups, 2 mugs, a mini fridge, a microwave, and a stove. The bathroom is small but it is enough space. They do have laundry, though you have to book a slot - not an issue but it is good to know. The location is very close to a metro station that runs to all the major sites and a grocery store. I felt fairly comfortable staying here alone as a solo female - definitely had my guard up at times entering but no issues ever came up. I will say the pillows are not the comfiest and the elevators are slow.

When my husband booked this accomodation and I read all the awful reviews here I was really worried for our stay and was even considering to cancel our reservation. I’m so happy we didn’t! We’ve stayed for 5 days and everything was great,we didn’t experience any of the previously mentioned issues. Yes it didn’t exactly looked like the pics and wasn’t really an apartment more like a room with a kitchenette and a bathroom, but it was clean,well equipped and quiet. It’s super close to the Alvik metro station so you can reach the downtown within 15 mins. There is a free laundry room and the gym as well which can be used 24-7. Tip: there is a live chat on the Forenom website in case of any queries, they can assist immediately. We’d definitely stay here again :)

So our family came to Stockholm for a weekend and stayed in this Forenom Stockholm hotel. What should I tell you? It's completely economy style hotel. You get what you payed for. I was pleasantly surprised by the free laundry. Metro station was really very close to the hotel so it's very easy to reach any needed Stockholm point. Small kitchen had all needed equipment to cook some food. Perfect views of city through the window. A big minus - untidy half cleaned rooms. After all I would come back here one more time again.

Our group were travelling from the UK. On the day we arrived we received a text message that gave us code for front door and room code. After an hour in Central train station we found the green metro line, this took us in and out of alvik every 3 mins. The green line journey was approx 7 stops and took around 20mins. Some rooms were extremely noisy due being next to the train station and dual carriageway. We originally find the hotel, mainly thanks to Google maps. Codes sent to be let in front door worked so we jumped into excelators and off we went to our rooms. The key pad I found easy to use. As soon as I opend the door and switched the lights on the smell of rotting food hit me. On inspection there was mouldy food left in cupboards. Automatically I check the microwave which has food caked everywhere inside. The cupboards that plates and cup were kept in had some kind of congealed substance dotted everywhere. I then noticed that a drink had been dropped on the floor and not cleaned up. I then noticed spatters and smudges of blood on the floor area. I would have been straight down to reception to request a clean room. However it seems reception is no longer manned. Free tea, coffee and fruit is no longer offered. 5mins walk is a supermarket where I bought cleaning products. It's not safe staying in these conditions at the best of times, yet alone covid times. I scrubbed that one bed apartment which is not what I wanted to do after travelling 14hrs. That night there were people running up and down room hallways banging doors and trying handles. We returned one afternoon and 4 armed assault police officers were running in and out of the hotel. All in all our stay was a disaster. I only write of my room, however both of my colleagues suffered the same. The toilet had not been cleaned and a massive jobbie was waiting for him. An headboard completely fell off mid sleep. No locks on 10th floor windows. The only saving grace for me was that the bed was clean and comfy.

Stayed here for a errand in stockholm, when i first came here i had some problems with getting access due to a pin code being required, they sent me a bunch of mails with long texts and links and it was rather bothersome to find the pin code, the whole apartment smells of food and curry and the apartment itself was rather worn out. But atleast it was not too expensive.

The aparthotel is a comfortable place in Wintertime: warm and cosy. We stayed for five nights. But: the pics on the bookingsite are really misleading: the hotellobby is empty, the breakfast-room is empty and the apartment is very small. Also there were several things not working: the electricitypoint in the kitchen, the extractor, the toilet, the aircirculation in the bathroom.... There needs some work be done. The Metroline is very nearby: every 3 minutes a train to the citycentre.
