Clarion Hotel® Stockholm

We stayed for one night at Clarion Stockholm in February 2019. We have stayed many times there as the hotel is very convenient, just on top of a metro station which gets you to Centralen in less than 10 minutes. Our standard room was the right size for a couple of nights, with a desk to work and some seats. Storage was adequate. The main reason this stay only gets 3 stars is we got a 140cm bed. In itself it wasn't an issue, but the comforter was exactly 140cm and that means a battle during the night with your sleeping partner to get enough sheets. The bathroom even had both a bathtub and a shower. The hotel has more than 500 rooms, so the staff is friendly but you should not expect too much of a personalised experience. Breakfast has a large variety of offering, even catering to Asian taste. Make sure to plan to be at breakfast latest 08.30 on weekends, as it gets very crowded later on: finding a table will still not be an issue but the noise level goes up. Recommended if you ask for a standard room with a 160cm bed.

We travel as a couple, and the room assigned to us matched my expectation, particularly the comfortable king size bed. The room was also spacious. Room location. The room was located at the very end of the corridor, away from the lifts. At first I was a bit worried about the noise that could come from late revelers passing through (a footpath between the hotel and a park) but was relieved to find no noise at about 3am morning (jetlag!), having observed the people pass by. Dining. The hotel has a South American restaurant which, based on my observation, serves as casual dining in the day (drinkers in shorts) but at night the diners are dressed up, no sandals or shorts. The food was excellent, far from the standard South Am fast food I have tasted in other cosmopolitan cities- dinner was definitely above average. Location. The hotel is close to a very busy intersection and a train station. However what I like about it is that it is located at the other end of a street that takes you to a good fashion and dining district, and then eventually to the bridge into the old town. I emphasize this because prior to reaching that section if you walk (which we did) you get a good glimpse of the residential area and therefore its locals. We even chanced upon a Saturday market. I will also recommend the breakfast buffet (we are breakfast people) – there’s enough to choose from and there is a station for cooking eggs of your choice. The staff are helpful and responsive – I asked for their help to confirm our transport out of the hotel; which had a small complication due to the weekend. Note: the bar and restaurant do not accept cash so I found this limiting as I tend to plan my allowance around cash/credit card/travel card.

Had a one night stay (sadly with little sleep!) here on a business trip. Staff were very attentive but rooms tiny...not ideal if you are tall as the bed is sandwiched between 3 walls. Tried to cool the room down but although there is a controller I was told the heating is controlled centrally!! Windows did not open. Far too hot.

I mean this was an amazing weekend in Stockholm, beautiful hotel amazing leaving atmosphere as you enter the hotel this amaizing vibe at the bar beside the entrance. Right away you feel you want to drop your luggage and join the party. Thanks to Clarion Hotel Stockholm for having me. See you in the future

This hotel is huge and it seems more like a business hotel. The rooms are also large by European standards. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The room mattress and sheets are clean and comfortable. The bathroom is spacious, modern and comes with nice toiletries. The breakfast area is large and has a good variety to choose from. The subway is right outside, but I would say the hotel is not near the center of the city. There are good restaurants in the area to choose from.
