The Lab Hotel
Kitchen rooms for a functional Stockholm stay
About this hotel
The Lab Hotel keeps things functional, with a kitchen in the room and free Wi-Fi covering the basics rather than a full-service hotel experience. It sits four minutes' walk from Restaurang Asplund and an eight-minute taxi ride from Stockholm City Hall, with Sundbyberg also a short taxi ride away for wider exploring. Parking is available for a fee, and the taxi transfer to the airport runs around thirty-four minutes, with public transport taking notably longer. The in-room kitchen suits a family wanting to self-cater some meals over a longer stay, cutting down on Stockholm's higher restaurant costs. For a family prioritising a functional, lower-cost base with the flexibility to cook their own meals, over hotel extras like a gym or spa, this straightforward property covers the essentials.

Our take
The Lab Hotel suits families who want an in-room kitchen and a lower rate over hotel extras, treating the stay as a practical base for exploring rather than a destination in itself. It offers little beyond Wi-Fi and parking, so those wanting a restaurant, gym or spa should look toward a fuller-service Kista hotel. It is a fair pick for a family whose priority is Husbybadet and easy Stockholm logistics rather than a resort-style hotel stay.
- ✓Use the in-room kitchen to cook some meals if staying several nights, it meaningfully cuts Stockholm restaurant costs.
- ✓Budget for parking separately, it is available but not included in the room rate here.
- ✓Plan public transport time carefully to Husbybadet, as this location's connections take a bit longer.

Why guests love itWe picked The Lab Hotel for the in-room kitchen, which helped us keep costs down over a week-long trip with three kids to feed. It is a genuinely simple hotel, no restaurant or gym to speak of, but that suited our budget-focused approach to the trip. Being close to Restaurang Asplund gave us a backup for nights we did not want to cook. Public transport out to Husbybadet took longer than we expected, so plan extra time. For a practical, self-catering base, it worked for us.
