Brommavik Hotel

Listed building from the turn of the century at Bällsta Bridge

Brommavik Hotel is located at Karlsbodavägen 45 in Bromma, right next to Bällsta Bridge and close to Bromma Airport. The hotel is a listed building from the turn of the century that has been carefully renovated internally whilst preserving the exterior. This means modern amenities are housed within an older structure, which is evident in the rooms' blend of Gustavian style and contemporary technology. The listed status places requirements on the preservation of the exterior, which gives the building a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from newly built business hotels. The hotel has a total of 76 rooms and is Green Key certified, an environmental certification confirmed on First Hotels' official website.

The hotel is four-star and is part of First Hotels First Partner Collection, a collaboration with the chain that does not involve a fully standardised chain concept. Reception is staffed 24 hours a day, and the hotel offers express check-in and check-out. Free parking is available on the premises subject to availability, and there are charging points for electric vehicles on the grounds, though a charge applies for charging. Pets are welcome for a fee of 350 SEK per room. A roof terrace is available to guests during the period May to August. For exercise, guests are directed to an external gym, Fitness24Seven, located approximately 300 metres from the hotel and accessible via a loan card subject to availability. The hotel has a conference room with a dividing wall that accommodates up to 50 people.

For those travelling to or from Bromma Airport, the hotel is approximately five minutes' drive away. Sundbyberg Station, with commuter trains to Stockholm Central Station, is approximately a five-minute walk from the hotel. Solvalla Racecourse is accessible by car in approximately ten minutes. Friends Arena and Mall of Scandinavia are also accessible by car or public transport. According to First Hotels' official website, the journey to Stockholm city centre takes eight minutes by public transport.

Room categories from economy rooms without windows to family rooms of 33 m²

The hotel has 76 rooms divided into several categories with clear differences in size, facilities and maximum occupancy. The economy rooms – both single and double – have no windows and are the smallest options at the hotel. The standard rooms are slightly larger and are available in single bed, double bed and twin configurations. All rooms have a desk, flat-screen TV, coffee and tea maker and safe. Bathrooms with underfloor heating and heated towel rail are included in the Superior category and above, whilst economy and standard rooms do not include these facilities. Economy and standard rooms accommodate a maximum of two guests.

The Superior category is available in double, twin and triple configurations and measures 19–27 m². These rooms have parquet flooring, bathrobes and slippers, and bathrooms with underfloor heating and heated towel rail. The Superior rooms also provide access to the hotel's sauna and relaxation room at no extra cost – this also applies to the Luxury double room and Deluxe family room, but not to the Standard or Economy categories. The sauna is booked for private sessions and is not shared with other guests at the same time.

The Deluxe family room is the hotel's most spacious option at 33 m², with a double bed and a sofa bed, and accommodates up to four people. The Luxury double room measures 24 m² and has a private bathroom with a bathtub. Some rooms in the higher categories also have a private hot tub, making them the hotel's most exclusive option. Room service is available at the hotel. The Superior, Luxury and Deluxe categories therefore include sauna access, parquet flooring, bathrobes and slippers, whilst economy and standard rooms offer a simpler arrangement without these additions. All categories share the basic facilities of desk, flat-screen TV, coffee and tea maker and safe.

Breakfast, bar and environmental certification

Brommavik Hotel serves a breakfast buffet every morning. Breakfast is included in some booking packages but not all – which package applies depends on the room chosen and the rate selected. The hotel has a bar and lounge where guests can order drinks and relax, as well as a deli option for simple food purchases. The deli option is convenient for guests arriving late in the evening or preferring to eat in their room without ordering room service. Free WiFi is offered throughout the hotel, making it easy to work or relax wherever you are in the hotel.

The hotel is environmentally certified with the international Green Key certification. The certification means, among other things, that the hotel uses renewable electricity and energy-saving lighting, sorts and recycles waste, and uses environmentally labelled laundry and cleaning products. Guests are offered vegetarian and organic options in the food offering. Staff undergo annual training in sustainability issues to ensure that environmental work is maintained and developed over time. Green Key certification is one of the most recognised environmental certifications in the tourism industry and confirms that the hotel works systematically to reduce its environmental impact.

Pets are welcome at Brommavik Hotel for a fee of 350 SEK per room. The hotel is completely non-smoking indoors. Laundry and dry cleaning services are available for a fee for guests who need them during their stay. The hotel also has a roof terrace with outdoor furniture that is open to guests during the period May to August, offering a pleasant outdoor environment during the warmer months.

Gym, conference and Gustavian décor

Brommavik Hotel has a partnership with Fitness24Seven in Bromma, located 300 metres from the hotel. Hotel guests can borrow a gym card and visit the gym at no extra cost, subject to card availability. It is therefore not a gym in the hotel's own premises but an external facility within walking distance. The sauna and relaxation room at the hotel are reserved for guests in Superior, Luxury and Deluxe family rooms and are booked for private sessions.

For conferences and meetings, there is a conference room that accommodates up to 50 people in auditorium layout. The room is equipped with a soundproof sliding wall that allows the space to be adapted according to needs. The hotel is suitable for personal meetings, workshops, interviews and board meetings.

What most clearly distinguishes Brommavik Hotel from a generic business hotel in the same price range is the interior design concept: the rooms are furnished in Gustavian style with hand-crafted wooden furniture and crystal chandeliers in the ceilings. The style is mixed with eclectic elements, which gives an expression that differs from standard hotels in the category. It is wise to look at pictures before booking to form an opinion on whether the style suits you. For those travelling by car, Bromma is an alternative to city centre hotels: parking is free subject to availability and the location provides quick access to the road network. The public transport location is functional with commuter trains within walking distance.
