BEST WESTERN HOTEL BENTLEYS
Drottninggatan 77, Norrmalm, 111 60 Stockholm, Sweden
Housed in an 18th century Gustavian-era décor, BEST WESTERN HOTEL BENTLEYS locates on Drottninggatan shopping street in Stockholm central, provides buffet breakfast with veggie and seafood options every morning in the glassed-in inner courtyard, in additional the light snacks and drinks in the lobby bar from 11:00 daily!
Due to the early departure of my travel companions, after the check-out procedure at IBIS STYLES STOCKHOLM ODENPLAN, I decide to check-in a luxury yet convenient location for the once try-out. It’s a genuine luck that the single small room promoted to a double standard, with inner courtyard view, high-speed Wi-Fi and electric kettle, the resting hours never get fatigue; as well the satellite channels allow me to review the basic Swedish ability.
With the abundant amount of natural lights from the palm trees surrounded courtyard window, I adore how BEST WESTERN HOTEL BENTLEYS painted the bedroom walls the pastel pale olive green, together with brick orange curtains, dark brown hardwood parquet floors, contrasting to the art-deco crystal bedside lamps, a rather Nordic minimalism mixed with Gustavian romantic. As for the ensuite bathroom, the showering shield and the sink are in coral-reef emerald, matching with the pale caramel marble walls, without equipped with travel-sized skincare products instead of with larger volume jar, the clean and thick 6 towels in total provide the handy reach for a shower moment.
Strolling alongside of shopping walk of Drottninggatan, kiosk 7-ELEVEN is only one block away, and INTIMISSIMI, The Body Shop, H&M or ZARA for either shopping or urgent needs with less than 10 minute-walk, further ahead will be T-CENTRALEN metro and airport express, surely the most convenient neighbourhood for the city solo traveller. At the nightfall, my crush on cuisine with reasonable price is hungry, let’s dress casual and hunt!
TJABBA THAI RESTAURANG
Wallingatan 7, 111 60 Stockholm, Sweden
Since the immigration flow during the 90s, Stockholm fosters a community of Thai, ever since, the authentic cuisine is merely 20 meters away to secure at the corner of BEST WESTERN HOTEL BENTLEYS!
Established in 2001, TJABBA THAI treats the top notch Thai food from different parts of Thailand and offers the fresh high quality handpicked ingredients. Without the reservation, still the staffs warmly welcome the solo traveller with informative suggestion. My order of the day goes for stir-fried knuckle of pork, served with Chinese broccoli, chili, garlics and oyster sauce. The taste of the meat is tender yet crispy at skin, the chili makes me sweat for a while, all in all is perfect with abundant of onions and Chinese broccoli, the well cooked jasmine rice can bring the flavor of oyster sauce, the portion is affluent so there is no space to devour any starter or desserts.
It’s quite essential to realize that At TJABBA THAI provides the collective agreements to guarantee the staff in good terms, pension and insurance. During my dining time, not only I had a great conversation with the staff, also noticed the team were working effortlessly at open kitchen together, with smiles and singing Thai pop songs. A healthy working environment perhaps the greatest secret makes the cuisine and team successfully, for the next round, what shall we order?
