Forenom Aparthotel Stockholm Alvik

Anche se è un po' lontano dal centro di Stoccolma, l'aparthotel dispone di una stazione della metropolitana proprio accanto, che permette di raggiungere qualsiasi punto della città in pochi minuti. L'alloggio è economico rispetto al resto dell'offerta cittadina e si adatta perfettamente alle esigenze di chi vuole soggiornare spendendo poco, senza elevate esigenze in termini di comfort. Ci sono però degli aspetti che potrebbero deludere alcuni ospiti, vista la particolarità di questa sistemazione. Come mi aspettavo, l'aparthotel non dispone di receptionist, ci inviano solo un codice numerico per entrare nella stanza. In effetti, i pochi dipendenti che vedi in hotel sono addetti alla manutenzione e non interagiscono con i clienti. Gli ospiti vengono abbandonati a se stessi e l'esperienza finisce per essere un po' strana. Ritengo assurdo che un aparthotel con centinaia di camere non abbia un servizio di reception, anche se con orari di apertura limitati. Pur non sentendomi in pericolo, ritengo che possano esserci problemi di sicurezza nel complesso senza che sia garantita una risposta immediata. Come punto negativo, ho notato che gli appartamenti sembrano logori e sporchi. Il divano e il bancone della cucina presentavano macchie di sporco radicate difficili da rimuovere. La parte superiore degli armadi erano autentici depositi di polvere, lanugine e immondizia. Tuttavia, la biancheria da letto e gli asciugamani sembravano essere ben lavati. Sembra che la maggior parte degli ospiti siano operai edili stranieri, che stanno lavorando ai numerosi progetti in corso nella città di Stoccolma. Questo aspetto di per sé non è negativo, ma rende l'ambiente diverso da un normale albergo e più simile ad un dormitorio. Chi cerca un albergo che offra più servizi di animazione e ristorazione non si faccia ingannare, questo serve solo per dormire. Nonostante tutto, consiglio vivamente questo hotel a viaggiatori che cercano una sistemazione conveniente.

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.

Do not stay at this hotel, firstly, it was incredibly run-down. Secondly, I accidentally left a pair of headphones hanging on one of the bed lamps. I realized it immediately and contacted the hotel, and they claim they haven't seen them, even though I'm sure they're still hanging there. When I was drying my hair with their hairdryer, it almost caught fire as it started glowing red and smoking before shutting off on its own. I really don't recommend anyone to stay at this hotel; there are much fresher options available for the same price.

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.

One of the worst accommodations I've stayed at (Forenom Alvik). Poor cleaning and incredibly worn compared to what you pay for. Impossible to get a hold of customer service, 10 days since I sent my first email demanding a refund since we want to leave earlier but have not received a response even though I sent 3 emails. First and last time we chose Forenom.
