Thon Hotel Vasa is our Best Value choice in Stockholm. It suits couples and solo travellers who want a 4-star hotel with a strong guest score of 8.9/10 from 684 reviews and a location you can explore on foot. Travellers with dietary needs should note the breakfast description: vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, served as a buffet, with a breakfast-to-go option.
Pet owners have a reason to look closer, since the property lists pets as allowed. Fees and conditions are not confirmed, so ask before you book.
Who should skip it? Anyone counting every euro. This is not a cheap stay, and the price sat above the middle of the market in our sample. If you mainly need a clean bed and a central address, the Budget pick below may be the smarter call.
Location and getting around Norrmalm
The address is Vasagatan 20 in Norrmalm. The location score is 9.8/10, the highest single number in this hotel's data, and the distances explain why. Stockholm Palace is 0.8 km away, about 10 minutes on foot. Gamla Stan, the old town, is 0.9 km or around 11 minutes. Nationalmuseum is 1.1 km, roughly 14 minutes.
These walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes can take a little longer. Public transport options near the door are not confirmed in our data, so check a map for your own routes before arrival.
What guests say
The overall picture is clearly positive: 8.9/10 across 684 reviews put the hotel in position 5 of 39 eligible properties in the sample on review score alone.
Our data does not include summarised themes of what guests specifically praise or criticise here. That means we cannot tell you whether rooms are quiet, how big they are or how the staff handle requests. Read recent reviews on your booking site and look for comments on noise and room size, since those have not been assessed.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) was about €313 per night, or roughly €627 for both nights. The sample median was €264 per night, so this hotel sits above the typical rate. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, ProfilHotels Riddargatan, is also 4 stars and was about €231 per night with a score of 8.3. Our Luxury pick, Bank Hotel, a Member of Small Luxury Hotels, is 5 stars, scored 9.0 and was about €371 per night. Thon Hotel Vasa sits between them on price and close to the top on guest score.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 40 hotels in Stockholm. Thon Hotel Vasa earned the Best Value slot because it had the strongest review-confidence score at or near the sample median price. In plain terms, many guests rated it highly, and it does not cost luxury money.
The listed facilities back this up: gym, restaurant, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and pets allowed. Opening times and any fees for these are not confirmed.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included in your rate, because breakfast inclusion has not been assessed. Confirm the cancellation terms, the pet policy if relevant, and ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper, since noise has not been assessed either. Finally, compare today's price with the two other picks, as the gap between them can change.
