You Paid How Much? | Oct. 17 ✈️
Bonaire for $400, premium economy to Chile, Stockholm vacation, and more
Hej from Sweden! 🇸🇪
I needed a quick getaway — and realized I had a $1,500 Delta voucher that expires at the end of the year. There was a pretty solid last-minute cash deal to Stockholm for only $550, and I’d never been to Sweden before, so I was excited to catch this deal.
I’ll share my full itinerary later, but I’ll start with the first hotel I stayed at. I spent 3 nights at the Story Hotel Signalfabriken, perhaps one of the best use of Hyatt points in Europe.
It’s a Category 1 hotel, which means award stays cost just 5,000 points per night, and breakfast was included. Considering that one Hilton property started at 27,000 points per night (and a Marriott started at 50,000 points), this hotel was a steal.
It’s a JdV by Hyatt and definitely had a more boutique than standard hotel vibe. The room was nothing fancy and, true to hotels in Europe, tiny — but it got the job done. The hotel is in an excellent location, just two stops from Stockholm Central and about a 30-minute train ride to the airport.
Story Hotel Signalfabriken gets my recommendation if you’re looking for a cheap points stay at a nice, but not fancy, hotel!
