Clarion Hotel® Amaranten

My son and I came for a NHL weekend in Stockholm. The hotel is conveniently located in the nice residential neigborhood and 10 min walk away from the Central Station (T-Centralen). The rooms are not big but the twin room worked out well for us. Yes, still a small room. They have a nice restaurant by Marcus Samuelsson and busy neigborhood bar. We also used the gym twice - the gym was small and limited with equipment but enough for basic workout. Service at the Front Desk was pleasant. The breakfast was very busy during the weekend but it worked out well with attentive service. The breakfast buffet selection and egg station were very good. A pleasant stay - thank you!

Clean hotel, tasty breakfast. I've choose the chip room for two, but in compare to the rivals hotels it has a window (yes it's true, in Stockholm you may have chip room without window). Hotel has sauna, could be better, but still nice!

Good hotel for personal and business stay. Personal is extremely helpful! Breakfast will power you during while day. You can also check restaurant and bar, there are special offers and affordable prices.

Clean hotel, with nice quotes everywhere, on the stairs, in the bathroom, in the restaurant. It sparks up your day! Very good breakfast buffet with a lot of choices for a warm and a cold breakfast. Very friendly and helpful people in all areas of the hotel. Fortunately the window in the room could be opened so I could sleep with fresh air and was not bothered by the warm room.

I spent yearly up to fifty different hotels on my trip, and I could immediately see what good or not in the hotel room. So my review is based on my own opinion. I know the accommodation in Scandinavia isn't cheap. There are budget places like hostels but prefer a comfortable stay during my trip. I booked this hotel via Booking.com because booking straight to the hotel website is more expensive. The check-in is very friendly and quick. The hotel lobby is very roomy and stylish. Thus, we got a room on the sixth floor at the backside, which was very quiet. As I already read some of the reviews here, I know what to expect. My first impression when I see the room; it was not so bad for a couple of nights and people with hand luggage only. For people traveling with large suitcases, it will be a problem as there wasn't space for it. : Things that are present in the room: Free wifi, coffee maker with kettle, iron, board, safe deposit box, mini bar with ridiculously pricey drinks, desk, television, hangers. : The bathroom is tiny, but it is clean. Toiletries, hairdryer are present and fresh towels. The shower has an adjustable hot water temperature with a pretty good shower spray. The housekeeping comes every day, so when returning to the room in the evening, it is clean. Breakfast included in the room rates: But it is a disaster.! Although, is an extensive buffet style but still running out of food. I think you have to come down very early to avoid fussed. "Around "8 and 10" in the morning is the bustling time." Staff can't cope with all the work. Plates are run out, and foods are all gone. People are complaining; I have compassion with the workers; they ran from place to another to solve the problem. There is no organization in the breakfast room, which is so chaotic! Clarion Hotel Amaranten has electric steps for rent; however, they'll pricey - the first hour is 100 Sek, and for the next two hour or a whole day it cost 200 Sek (18.50€). I think you'll be cheaper if taking the metro next door if you purchase the" 24-hour metro pass only cost 13 euro". The metro station "Radhuset" is next to the hotel. Also, there are restaurants nearby, and the "Coop supermarket" is right across the street. The hotel location is convenient, that's why it is expensive, and the "Flygbussarna" bus terminal is about less than10 minutes walk from here.
