8/10 Good
"Great hotel near the centre, great location for trains, buses and the underground. About 10 min walk to the seafront and ferries. Hotel interior is a bit different, it reminded me of a ski chalet, great vibe and atmosphere. Bar and restaurant very good, didn’t have breakfast as was a bit pricey, lots of coffee shops locally. Note the breakfast restaurant was very busy over the weekend. Room was a bit larger than expected, no wardrobes just hanging knobs along the walls, desk and pin board, which made it feel like a uni room! Big bed and nice bedding, bathroom a little small but more than adequate. Our room looked directly into some offices so was very dark and we could see workers very clearly! Eventually worked out the lighting in the room, but had to go outside to see what the weather was like! I would stay again for a fun weekend away. The rooftop bar and spa is really nice if a little expensive!"

10/10 Excellent
"We've stayed at other hotels closer to Götgatan leads to Gala Stan. The rooms and bathroom are small, no closet space. We wanted to give Clarion a try this time. We picked the family room hoping more space for our two weeks stay. And it is about the same cost. We thought 10 more minutes walk is not a big deal. And it is a great great great choice. We open the door to our room. It is huge huge room. It has a living room, a king size bed, a large washroom with walking shower, bathtub and a wardrobe. We purchased breakfast. The sheer options for variety of food is amazing. The train station is right outside the hotel. It is close to coffeeshops, shopping retails and many many many restaurants. There is a hotel bar and restaurant. The staff are nice and helpful. Just a wonderful hotel and stay. We will definitely stay at Clarion again and again. Highly recommended. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ❤❤❤"
