Info
Summary of reviewsSTF Jumbo Stay Stockholm offers a truly distinctive lodging experience, situated conveniently on the grounds of Arlanda Airport. Its unique setting within a retired 747 aircraft appeals particularly to aviation enthusiasts and travelers seeking novelty. One of its standout features is the exceptional convenience provided by a free shuttle bus that operates around the clock, ensuring easy and frequent access to the airport terminals, car rental services and bus connections. This makes it an ideal choice for travelers with early departures or late-night arrivals.

Guests consistently highlight the accommodation's practical benefits, including the availability of a complimentary breakfast starting as early as 3 AM. This early self-service feature is particularly appreciated by those with early flights. The breakfast offerings are simple but sufficient, although some guests feel that additional variety and quality improvements could enhance the experience. Despite occasional criticisms, the effort to cater to early travelers is generally well-received.

The hostel's dinner options, however, are less favorable, as the on-site restaurant and bar are often closed in the evenings, requiring guests to return to the airport for meals. This can be inconvenient for late arrivals.

Rooms, although small, are consistently praised for their cleanliness and functionality, fitting the airplane cabin ambiance. The beds are described as exceptionally comfortable and the overall experience of sleeping inside an aircraft, especially in distinctive suites like the Cockpit and Black Box, is highly memorable. However, some practical aspects like temperature control and air recycling need improvement. Shared bathrooms are generally clean and well-maintained, but some guests find them inconvenient.

The cleanliness of the accommodation is frequently noted with rooms and shared bathrooms receiving high marks. The staff is another highlight, receiving praise for their friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism. Guests appreciate the welcoming environment created by the team, which significantly enhances their overall experience.

On the technical side, the free wifi receives mixed feedback. While many praise its speed and reliability in certain areas, others report connectivity issues in specific zones like the engine rooms. Despite these occasional issues, the overall functionality of the wifi meets most guests' needs.

Parking is another strong point with free parking highly valued by guests, especially those using rental cars. The seamless connection to the airport and car rental facilities through a frequent shuttle bus is particularly appreciated.

In summary, STF Jumbo Stay Stockholm is celebrated for its novelty, strategic airport location and unique setting, providing a comfortable and clean stay that is particularly convenient for travelers passing through Arlanda Airport.

Breakfast
The breakfast experience at STF Jumbo Stay Stockholm has elicited a range of opinions from guests. Many have appreciated the convenience of the complimentary breakfast starting as early as 3 AM, making it ideal for those with early flights. This early self-service feature is highlighted as a significant advantage, particularly for travelers on tight schedules.

The breakfast offerings are generally described as simple with a basic selection that includes various types of bread, butter, jam, Nutella, cheese, salami, yogurt, cereal, milk and coffee. While some guests find this minimalistic approach sufficient, others believe it lacks variety and quality. Several reviews mention that the breakfast, although basic, is healthy and does the job with guests sometimes allowed to take items to go.

A number of reviewers have noted that the breakfast room is clean and the dining area is quirky and exciting, enhancing the overall experience. Despite this, others feel that the breakfast menu could be more diverse with some calling for additional options like eggs, vegetables or different types of bread.

Some guests have had less favorable experiences, describing the breakfast as mediocre, disappointing or even poor and inedible at times. Specific issues included moldy bread, off milk, limited food choices and unappealing setups. Despite these drawbacks, a few guests were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast quality, especially given the hostel setting and the affordable pricing.

In summary, while the early breakfast availability and basic self-service offerings cater well to early travelers, there is room for improvement in variety and quality to enhance the overall guest experience at STF Jumbo Stay Stockholm.

Dinner
STF Jumbo Stay Stockholm offers a unique experience with its converted jumbo jet accommodation; however, dinner options at the hotel have room for improvement. The hotel features a reasonably sized cafe and a comfortable area for guests to relax and dine. For those staying overnight, it's essential to plan ahead for dinner, as the on-site restaurant and bar area tend to be closed in the evenings. This lack of availability can be inconvenient for late arrivals, especially when no staff are present and access to drinks and food on display is restricted. For evening meals, guests without their own transport might need to take a free shuttle bus back to the airport to find dining options.

Despite the novelty, some practical aspects could use improvement. Guests noted issues like stagnant bad smells, inadequate air-recycling systems and rooms that are sometimes too hot or too cold without an option to adjust the temperature. A few also mentioned issues with room cleanliness and maintenance, such as dusty spots, dirty sheets and malfunctioning lights and showers.

The shared bathrooms, although clean, can be inconvenient for some and the lack of certain amenities like tables, chairs or mirrors in the rooms was occasionally highlighted. The exterior condition of the plane could also benefit from some upkeep, as it appears worn and neglected to some visitors.

Breakfast options are basic but adequate and the dining room is clean and charming. Although the accommodations are modest and might not impress everyone, especially not an elderly guest, the overall ambiance is that of a beautifully designed effort that manages to offer a cozy, comfortable stay.
