2Home Stockholm South

Garni hotel in Årsta Partihallar – an industrial area with access to the E4

2Home Stockholm South is located in the industrial area of Årsta Partihallar, south of Stockholm city centre. The location is neither central nor picturesque, but it is functional for those travelling by car: the hotel has access to the E4 and a limited number of free parking spaces on the premises. Public transport users can reach central Stockholm using public transport, a journey that according to the chain's official website takes approximately 23 minutes.

Stockholm Fair in Älvsjö, Avicii Arena and Tele2 Arena are the three facilities that 2Home Stockholm South is geographically most closely connected to. This makes 2Home Stockholm South a practical option during fairs, concerts and sporting events in southern Stockholm, when hotels in the city centre are fully booked or priced at a higher level. For guests with business in southern Stockholm, the location is a clear advantage, whilst those seeking walking distance to Stockholm city centre should choose another option.

The hotel is operated by family-owned Excellence Hotels and is classified as a Garni hotel, which means it does not offer full restaurant service. Breakfast is served for an additional charge and is not included in the standard price, which means guests should budget for this cost separately. The business is active and confirmed via the hotel's official website at Excellence Hotels. The hotel appears in older booking systems under the name New World Hotel; the current name 2Home Stockholm South is the only valid one.

Room categories from queen room to two-bedroom apartments

The hotel has 137 rooms divided into several categories with clear differences in size and capacity. Queen room at 15 square metres is the hotel's smallest option and accommodates up to two people. The double room at 25 square metres has two 90-centimetre beds that can be pushed together or separated; most double rooms have a microwave and a small fridge built into the room. Triple and family rooms are the hotel's options for groups and families travelling together who need more beds in the same unit.

Studio is its own format with a built-in kitchenette or kitchen directly in the room, unlike standard rooms where the hotel's shared kitchen is used. Apartments with one or two bedrooms measure 45–74 square metres and accommodate up to six guests – this is the hotel's only category with a separate bedroom and fully equipped kitchen in the unit. These apartments are aimed primarily at families and guests planning longer stays where self-catering is a priority.

All guests, regardless of room category, have access to a shared kitchen with kitchen equipment. This is a central part of the hotel's concept and clearly distinguishes it from a conventional city hotel. In studios and apartments there is also a fully equipped kitchen or kitchenette directly in the unit, which provides additional flexibility for those staying longer periods and wanting full control over their meals without sharing spaces with other guests.

Hobby and games room, gym and sauna – facilities for all guests

In addition to a gym and sauna, 2Home Stockholm South has a hobby and games room with table football, table tennis and darts. This is a concrete difference from many hotels in the same price range and makes the hotel more useful for groups, sports teams and families spending several days on site. The gym and sauna are available to all guests, and the hotel also has a laundry room with washing machines, which is practical for longer stays as guests do not need to seek out an external laundry service.

The hotel allows pets and offers dog-friendly rooms for a separate fee, which is unusual enough to mention as an advantage for dog owners who travel. WiFi is free throughout the facility, including in the rooms. Luggage storage is available on site for guests who need to leave luggage before check-in or after check-out.

The hotel has conference and meeting facilities and can offer solutions for smaller events and internal meetings. Those planning an event should contact the hotel directly to confirm current capacity and availability. Additional services and facilities are clearly separated from what is included in the base price, and guests should check current terms at booking to avoid confusion about what comes as an extra cost. The hotel's facilities profile makes it particularly suitable for guests staying several days and valuing access to exercise, laundry and shared spaces without needing to leave the premises.

Long-term accommodation and group bookings as a stated focus

2Home Stockholm South actively markets long-term accommodation as its own offering, which is reflected in the design of the rooms and the included facilities. Studios and apartments have their own kitchens or kitchenettes, and all guests have access to washing machines, sauna and gym. The hotel offers the option to choose between hotel service and self-catering, which provides a flexibility that a conventional city hotel rarely can match for those staying weeks or months rather than single nights.

For groups – coach groups, sports teams and similar parties – there are multi-bed rooms and the possibility of group bookings. The hotel's location in an industrial area with parking space is a practical advantage for groups arriving by coach or multiple cars, as the parking situation in Stockholm city centre is considerably more limited and expensive. Proximity to Stockholm Fair is one of the most common reasons guests choose this hotel, and during fair periods it can be a good value alternative to hotels in the city centre.

For the individual business traveller seeking a standard hotel near the city, 2Home Stockholm South is a compromise option: the location requires transport to the city centre, but the price level and available facilities – limited free parking, gym, sauna and shared kitchen – can justify the choice. However, those who prioritise walking distance to Stockholm city centre or a hotel with a restaurant on site should look for other options. The hotel is best suited to those with a specific reason to be in southern Stockholm or who are travelling by car and want spacious rooms at a competitive price.
