Clarion Hotel® Stockholm

Very nice and clean hotel, friendly staff at reception and breakfast entrance. It was very crowded when we were there, but that was because of Swim Open Stockholm, but everything went smooth and there was always plenty of space and food for breakfast.

I stayed here for 5 days and it was a pleasant experience more or less. My room was on the 7th floor, modern interiors, very fast and stable WiFi. Unfortunately the TV was not Smart and I could not stream NETFLIX using my personal account. Pitty, I have had NETFLIX in 50 Euro/night hotels a few months ago. Cleaning was so and so, the heating did not seem to react to the control panel in the room. It got a bit chilly at times and I got the feeling that the air was not changed frequently enough, probably to conserve energy. Service (apart from houskeeping) was excellent. Breakfast was also top notch, the same applies for the Bar and the Mexican Restaurant on the ground floor. I asked to extend my checkout time for a couple of hours and they had no problem ,as long as I paid 10 Euros per hour extra. That was a first to me, but then I have not stayed in a Stockholm hotel these last ten years and things may have changed. The Clarion is located 4 stops from city center by the Subway and the station is right across. It takes fifteen minuted to reach the center the train. There are a few nice restaurants in the vicinity, cheaper and better than the budget restaurants in the city center.

When we arrived to the hotel the receptionist seemed very professional and happy to serve. The room was clean and nice. Located very close to a metro station. It would have been about 30 minutes by feet to the city centre so it's nice to have another option to choose from.

Hotel is literally right next to Skanstull metro stop, which is incredibly convenient. Rooms are comfortable for two people and service was great. We arrived late in the day, and the front desk gave us excellent recommendations for dinner within walking distance. It's true, everything you need is nearby (pharmacy, grocery store, department store, metro). I can't rave enough about breakfast; do not skip it. Fresh bread and fruit, omelette station, and Swedish pancakes will energize you for the rest of the day. There is a pool, but it's affiliated with the spa, and there's a daily fee to use it. (We did not, maybe next time.) Sodermalm is a fantastic neighborhood, lots of restaurants and shops, but away from the hustle of downtown. I easily walked to Gamla Stan (about 35 minutes) and on the way browsed through shops in Slussen. Lots to see, would definitely stay again.

Nice place for few nights. Close to Old Town, castle and all museums and attractions i the center. Rooms are small but nice, for two people. All you need is there. Close to hotel is metro station for those who don't want to walk.
