  Stockholm old town is a nice and interesting place to spend some time at.

  Marsta is ok for an over night between flights. There is reasonable public transportation from and to the airport. I used a public bus to get to the "hotel" and a train the next day to Stockholm (40 min). From Stockholm I used the airport bus Kr. 119 to the airport. That worked well. You can leave you bags at the airport or at the Stockholm bus terminal for about $6. The center of Marsta is 20 min walk from the hotel. There's a supermarket.

  Train and bus station, two!

  Train and bus station, two! grocery stores, Bankomats, a Systemboulaget, several great restaurants, all close together and 10 min. walk from my hotel. Station area and centrum very walkable. O'Leary's is a great sports bar with plenty of TV's, and killer chicken wings. A variety of other restaurants too that I didn't get to try. Short drive to airport. Direct train to downtown Stockholm from Märsta station.

  With only the hotel-provided map of the city, I had to find people on the street to direct me to the center of the town to get cash and find some food. The walk was quite long and the town center located within reach of the BoKloster Hotel was under construction. I couldn't find the ATM that was suggested by the information in the hotel, but finally located another one. I was only in Marsta to stay overnight to take a train the next day to Ockelbo where my relatives live. I also found that in the towns there is no one in the bus and train stations who can give you information on buying a ticket or even which track to stand on to catch the appropriate train. I also couldn't find out whether I could buy my ticket with a credit card on the train or bus anywhere. I also had a bad experience with the taxi drivers at Arlanda when trying to get to Marsta, who wanted to charge me twice the going rate for a taxi (345 SEK. All in all, I will have to think twice before flying to Sweden from California and trying to book a reasonably priced hotel in Marsta.

  Had a great town feel.

  Had a great town feel. Outside the city and near the airport it was a great contrast to the city living. Lots of nature and a slower pace of life to take in. Was only a five minute bus ride from the airport and only a 30min bus ride form the airport into the city.

  We stayed in Arlanda the night before flying home from the Arlanda airport. Check out Good Morning Arlanda for the night before an early morning flight. Convenient free shuttle. Rooms are clean and quiet; very nice dining/bar area overlooking lobby. Enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. It was very easy getting to the airport and checking in from there. Train from downtown Stockholm is very convenient.

  Only visited airport in Arlanda.

  Only visited airport in Arlanda. Pizza Pomodoro in Marsta had very good pizza (went there twice) It had great walking/biking trails. Metro/train available. Could use more hotels in the area and more restaurants open late..this is needed when flight arrives late. Nice area away from the city.
