Very possibly Stockholm's most unusual hotel, Vanadis Hotell och Bad is a converted bathing facility turned hotel. In terms of location, Vanadis is well served by public transportation, just a few minutes from Odenplan. With 67 small uniform rooms and a public pool attached, Vanadis is a great, quirky budget option. Dive in!
The hotel's rooms were previously used as changing rooms. As you might expect, these rooms are both very tiny and Spartan, with rich dark blue bedcovers and little else in the way of decoration. While this may not seem like a recipe for hotel heaven, consider the relative bargain that Vanadis provides, and fantasize about free access to the fabulous pool on the hotel's roof.
If a cavelike environment is not to your liking, be sure to request a room with a window. Many of the rooms at Vanadis share bathroom facilities and have no windows. These, understandably, are the least expensive rooms on offer, but even the rooms with windows and private bathrooms are among the cheapest in Stockholm.
Note: From May to September a more substantial breakfast can be purchased for SEK 50. During this time a restaurant is also open, and guests have free access to the Vanadis swimming pool.
