I thought I would create this thread because Stockholm is f@#$ing expensive as shit. So, looking for a player spot in Stockholm around May 18 to like May 31 (maybe 5-7 days stay and I'll travel around the baltics the rest).
Not looking for:
-Hostels unless I can bring in chicks - they seem strict
-Places too far away from the action (defeats purpose of a short stay)
What I have :
-I have Hilton points (enough for like 4 days in a nice spot) and can likely get Best western points
(just found one expensive ass Hilton so far but BW seems ok)
-Budget @ $500-$1k for the week but looking for lower end of the range
Preferences :
-Ideal : Want to stay in stockholm close enough for a walking distance bang
-Ideal : Want to get a pad that can invite some pple over to have a few drinks, music etc.
-Ideal : Want to get laid in either/both of the above.
So:
-Any suggestions or directions welcome..
-Anyone have any perspective on the Best western?
-How far away can one go from the action without pussy drying up?

Well I would look into the Scandic chain of hotels if I were you, I have stayed at them and have no complaints. They are right close to the action, but yes Stockholm is expensive for hotels. Best Western is lame, I would settle for the Hilton.
But you cannot beat your own pad, I have seen studios for rent for not too much money. Stockholm central is a pretty small city, so you should be ok.

There is a nice Best Western near Stureplan, but I don't think it is going to fall under your budget for 5 - 7 days.
Hotels are convenient, but I doubt you are going to be able to get a party going like you would be able to in your own pad..
Check out
http://www.flipkey.com for apartments/studios, there normally should be something within your budget for a week.
http://www.tripadvisor.com should also list apartments/vacation rentals (flipkey is a tripadvisor company so the listing will overlap quite a bit).
Wherever you decide to stay, make sure the place is close to a Tunnelbana (Metro) station. It normally takes 5 - 10 minutes to get to most places in Stockholm using the Metro.

Spy Bar, Laroy, Sturecompagniet, Club Kharma are pretty well known places in Stureplan. Spy Bar and Laroy were great when I was there.
Not sure what sort of places you are looking for, if you give more information on your preferences I can suggest a few more places.

How hard is it to get into the best clubs? How expensive is it really (cover, drinks, etc)?
The clubs in Stureplan are generally harder to get in, and they do charge a cover especially if it is only guys in the group.
Overall it is a bit harder to get in to these places. That said, if you are dressed very well and look your best, it should be possible without too much hassle.
All these high-end clubs are pretty expensive, not sure about the exact costs currently. But overall, Stockholm is expensive in general and more so in places like this. Expect to spend around double or more of what you would spend in a lower end bar/club/pub in Stockholm.
