Well the bad reviews I would say are 'Rubbish' I stayed here fine and so did about another hundred people. lol. It was comfy and loads of different places to sleep but Terminal 5 by the Arlanda C is the best area. I awoke to go to mcdonalds just up stairs at 7:00 in the morning. I was gonna stay at the Arlanda Hotel for like 90 euro... Screw that!!! This place is safe.

"Oh God. One of the worst experiences in my life. Never, EVER, shall I sleep again in an airport that I don't know beforehand. Passing through Stockholm, had a flight at 6:00 a.m., first bus from Stockholm city center was at 4:30, there was the risk to arrive late for check-in and miss the flight, and it seemed silly to take a hotel room to wake up at 3:30 in the morning. We decided to sleep at the airport. There were maybe 10 seats, and every place was occupied. All shops closed, no food, no drinks, no automatic machines. You could only sleep on the floor (but probably the security would've had something to say) or on a wooden, hard bench. Cold was unbearable, although I had a winter jacket as "emergency wear". Noise from air conditioning, cleaning machines and automatic doors opening and closing all night apparently for no reason, was enough to wake the dead. The only lucky circumstance was that check-in opened half an hour before announced, and the departure area after passing the metal detectors was HUGE and FULL of comfortable seats and armchairs, so we could sleep for 40 minutes or so before embarking. Couldn't they put some of those wonderful armchairs in the main hall before the security check?"
