    Stockholm

    I'm looking at my next contract is going to based in central Stockholm, 3 months.

    Does anyone have any recommendations of hotel's / b&b's / serviced apartments etc.

    I'm working on an hourly rate with no expenses and so the best value/location etc. hotel would be ideal.

                Suggest that you start here:

                http://www.thelocal.se/noticeboard/

                posting an ad and getting involved in the discussions may help you.

                There are also ads on here:

                http://www.blocket.se/ (What swedes use instead of eBay)

                But it's all in Swedish. The section that you want is Bostad. You have to read the ads very carefully, what may appear to be a monthy rent will often actually be a flat for sale.

                I have to warn you that arriving in town at the same time as 70,000 new students, all looking for somewhere to live (and all speaking Swedish) makes life really tough for finding somewhere.

                IME there is no such thing as a budget hotel in Sweden (oh except for the Formule 1) and serviced accomodation charges about the same per day as a hotel (though for a larger room). You can sometimes get "bed and breakfast" but it bears no relationship to that which you would be used to in the UK.
