Quiet hotel guide
The quietest hotels in Stockholm, Sverige
Stockholm has no shortage of hotels — but how many are actually quiet? Street noise, late-night bars, railway lines and flight paths can turn a promising booking into a sleepless night, and listings rarely mention any of it. So we analysed 7 hotels in Stockholm, Sverige using OpenStreetMap data, scanning each for the noise sources nearby and scoring them from 0 (very loud) to 100 (very quiet). Here is what we found.
The quietest hotel in Stockholm is Hôtel Reisen, with a sleep score of 95 out of 100 (overall 93). At the other end, Sheraton Hotel scores just 36 at night, hemmed in by the noise sources around it. Across all 7 hotels, the average overall score is 56 (average sleep score 70): 1 quiet (80+), 4 moderate, and 2 loud (below 50), and 1 is quiet at night.

Tips for a quiet stay in Stockholm
- Start from the top of the ranking above, then double-check the map on each hotel's page for schools, markets and places of worship you want to avoid.
- Once booked, ask for a high floor on the side facing away from the street — it makes a real difference with road and nightlife noise.
- Weekend stays near Stockholm's nightlife are loudest; if you're a light sleeper, favour hotels scoring 80 or above.
- Our score reflects the surroundings, not in-room soundproofing — a recently renovated hotel may feel quieter than its score suggests.

- How is the noise score calculated?
- We scan OpenStreetMap for noise sources within about 4 km of each hotel, then weight each by type, distance, and how often it's actually loud — a stadium or helipad counts far less than a motorway that never stops. We also compute a separate night ("sleep") score that leans on late-night sources like bars and clubs. It's an estimate of the surroundings, not a decibel reading, and it can't know your room's orientation or soundproofing — so treat it as a way to compare hotels, calibrated relative to the ones we track.
Scores are calculated from OpenStreetMap data and weight each noise source by type and distance. They reflect the surroundings of each hotel, not in-room soundproofing.
