A hotel at the airport suits a flight too early for the first train, or an arrival late at night. For a night on either side of a stay in Stockholm, the city is 18 minutes away on the Arlanda Express: hotels near Stockholm Central Station are beside the terminus, and where to stay in Stockholm compares the areas. Arlanda is not a place to see Stockholm from.

Sweden charges no city or tourist tax on hotel stays, so the room price is the price you pay.
