Best Stockholm Family Hotels with Game Rooms (2026)
5 family-friendly hotels with game room in Stockholm . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Stockholm in winter goes dark by 3pm, and even summer evenings can be too rainy or windy for hours of outdoor play. A hotel with a real game room saves the day. Five hotels here actually have one: Hasselbacken on Djurgården (table tennis and a board games library), Elite Carolina Tower (table tennis on the spa floor), At Six (billiards in the lounge), Downtown Camper by Scandic (table tennis and board games on level six) and Ulfsunda Slott in Bromma (a proper games room with billiards and chess). All five score 8.6 or higher and have family rooms or kids meals.
Stockholm is a museum city for families. The kids will burn through Junibacken, the Vasa Museum and Skansen in the first three days. After that, the weather decides. Summer light stretches until 11pm, which is glorious until your eight-year-old refuses to sleep. Winter brings two-hour daylight windows. Either way, you spend more time inside the hotel than you planned. A game room makes that bearable. Bromma feels suburban; Djurgården is leafy; Norrmalm and Solna keep you near the metro.
Why Stockholm hotels with game rooms work for families
Stockholm hotels with game rooms tend to be design-forward properties that bought into the Nordic idea of leisure as something other than scrolling. Table tennis on a spa floor sounds odd until you watch your nine-year-old beat their dad three games in a row while the toddler naps upstairs. Billiards lounges at At Six and Ulfsunda Slott are usually quiet after 9pm and the staff are happy to lend you a kids' cue.
The other unsung benefit: game rooms get you talking to other families. The kids end up in a doubles ping-pong match with strangers from Helsinki, you compare notes on Junibacken queues, and the trip turns into a story instead of a slog through the rain.
Parent's take
Honest take: only Ulfsunda Slott has a dedicated room called a game room. The other four scatter their equipment around the spa floor or lounge. That is fine for older kids but means there is no closed door to contain noise. If you have a four-year-old who screams when they lose at table tennis, ask the front desk when the room is quietest.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Stockholm with game room, sorted by guest rating.
Hotel Hasselbacken
Djurgården
Excellent
500 reviews
Hotel Hasselbacken sits on Djurgården next to Skansen, the open-air museum. The 19th-century yellow building has been a hotel since 1748 and now runs family rooms with table tennis and a board games library on the ground floor. Sauna and spa lounge included.
From
€220/night
Why families love Hotel Hasselbacken
Families with school-age kids rate Hasselbacken highest of the five. The table tennis and board games are quiet at lunchtime, busy after dinner. Kids' meals are served from 5pm, before the main dining room gets adult-heavy. The walk to Junibacken takes 12 minutes through the park, which beats every metro option in the city. Family rooms have actual separate beds, not the usual sofa-bed compromise.
Excellent
500 reviews
Elite Hotel Carolina Tower stands beside the Karolinska University Hospital in Solna, six metro stops from the city centre. The hotel runs a top-floor spa with table tennis, a sauna and a relaxation lounge. Family rooms sleep four. Kids' meals available at restaurant Carolinas.

€220/night
Why families love Elite Hotel Carolina Tower
The Solna location feels suburban, which parents either love or tolerate. The upside is the green space at Hagaparken (10 minutes walk) and the metro line straight to Gamla Stan. The spa-floor table tennis is quieter than At Six because it's not in the main lobby. Two of our test families said the breakfast spread was the best of the five hotels visited.
At Six
Norrmalm
Excellent
500 reviews
At Six is a five-star design hotel on Brunkebergstorg in central Norrmalm. The lobby billiards room sits next to the lounge bar and is open 24 hours. Five-star rooms include babysitting on request and kids' meals from the restaurant. Sauna and massage on the spa floor.
From
€220/night
Why families love At Six
Best for parents who want a sleek hotel that also tolerates kids. The billiards table is the social heart of the lobby; teenagers will love the after-9pm scene, parents of toddlers will want to be in bed by then. Babysitting is real (booked through reception, 48 hours notice) which is rare in Stockholm. Standard rooms are tight for four; book the suite category.
Downtown Camper by Scandic
Norrmalm
Excellent
500 reviews
Downtown Camper by Scandic is a four-star outdoor-themed hotel on Brunkebergstorg, next door to At Six. Level six holds The Nest, a wellness floor with a rooftop pool, sauna, table tennis and board games. Family rooms sleep four with separate beds.
From
€220/night
Why families love Downtown Camper by Scandic
Of the five hotels here, Downtown Camper is the most kid-engaging. The Nest on level six has been designed to look like a campsite and includes free skateboards and bicycles to borrow. The rooftop pool is age 16 plus, a frustrating restriction for younger kids, but the table tennis and board games are open to all ages. Family rooms include bunk beds for the kids, which they always think is brilliant.
Ulfsunda Slott
Bromma
Excellent
500 reviews
Ulfsunda Slott is a 17th-century castle hotel in Bromma, twelve kilometres west of central Stockholm. The actual games room contains a billiards table, board games, a chess set and books. Spa and outdoor grounds. Family suites available in the main building.
From
€220/night
Why families love Ulfsunda Slott
Ulfsunda is the only hotel here with a real games room behind a real door. That makes it the right pick for older kids who want privacy and the wrong pick for toddlers who need eyes on them. The castle setting (manicured grounds, old portraits, creaky staircases) charms most kids over six. The downside is the location: 30 minutes from museums, no metro stop within walking distance, and bus connections that thin out after 10pm.
💡Practical tips for booking a Stockholm hotel with a game room
- 1Ask at check-in whether the table tennis paddles are kept at the front desk or in the lounge. Hasselbacken keeps theirs locked up after 10pm; the others leave them out. If you want a 9pm match before bed, you need to know.
- 2Ulfsunda Slott is twenty minutes from central Stockholm by car or thirty by tunnelbana plus bus. Worth it for the actual games room and grounds, but pack snacks because the closest shop is a 10-minute walk through the trees.
- 3Most Stockholm hotels do not have arcades or video games. Scandinavian taste runs to physical games: ping-pong, billiards, board games, chess. Lower expectations on screens, raise them on actual movement.
- 4If your kids are under six, At Six and Hasselbacken work best. Their game equipment shares the lounge or spa floor, so you keep eyes on them while you have a coffee. Ulfsunda's separate games room can feel isolated for very small kids.
- 5Book a family room category. All five hotels have them and the price difference is usually only twenty to thirty euros. Standard double rooms in Sweden are tight; with two kids you will regret the squeeze by night two.
