Comfortable space to dine, or have a happy hour beer before going out. The bathroom was a bit unusual, at least it was for me coming from the US. The whole bathroom, shower included, is one level, so water from the shower just spreads out during the shower, and then retreats following. It does not leave the bathroom, or get over by the sink too much, but it was not what I was used to. (It is not a situation where you are showing with the toilet, there are distinct spaces.) The location almost immediately adjacent to the train station makes getting from the airport to the hotel a breeze. Easy walk to either where you need to go, or public transportation. I recommend!

We arrived at 11:00 and our room wasn't ready, but there were some in our large group who did check in early and we had a room by 1:00, which is two hours earlier than the guarantee...so no complaints on check-in The rooms are simple and tight, but comfortable clean, and quiet. The bed is quite comfy and I liked the scrunchy pillows. We slept great with our window open to allow for fresh air...I think we were lucky that the late night revelers were not under our window while we slept. The breakfast buffet (included in room price) in the morning is one of the best I've seen in my many years of travel. It rivals the 5-star hotels where you have to pay extra for a buffet with the number of choices this breakfast offered. Everything from as fresh and tasty. You'd have to hate food to dislike this buffet. We had an early flight, day of our checkout so we only enjoyed the buffet once. However, the hotel staff made up to-go breakfast bags for us sent us off with nutritious sandwiches, fruits, and drink. Where do you get that service?!?! The lobby of the the hotel is roomy and very comfortable. There are many places to work, lounge, or read without feeling other guests are too close. It was nice to relax in this hotel. The price of our rooms were ~ $200 per night so I was very pleased with the hotel for all that it offered. It's close to shopping, transportation hubs, and a 20 minute walk to Old Town.

This location is in the city and yards (meters) from the Skanstull train station. Pretty easy to get to from Arlanda Airport, total time 45-50 minutes from the airport via the Arlanda Express train connection to train 17/18/19 to Skanstull station. Wonderful service, kudos to Sanna at the front desk, she helped me book an extra night's stay on my airline staff rate. She also was pleasant and spoke great English because I don't speak a lick of Swedish. The room is nice. WiFi is strong. Shower amenities free. Just be careful of the big step from the shower/tub to the floor, it's a high one. Heated bathroom floors. I did have a small issue with the running water noise from the other rooms, the water could be heard when someone else flushed every so often. Loved their morning breakfast buffet even though it never changed. It was a full breakfast though. Nice restaurants in house, always busy and packed for lunch and dinner. I'd stay here again. 4 stops sound of city central station. And lots to do in walking distance from the hotel. Restaurants, bars, shopping....

There were no potatoes in it, only fish, shrimp and clams so it wasn't filling at all. I ended up eating 4 slices of baguette and still left the restaurant hungry. The waiters never asked us if the food tasted good and they never refilled our empty glasses. Another big minus is that they don't serve swedish meat but buy it from Ireland instead. I will not visit this place again.

Nosh & Chow wowed me. At first. Here's the thing: the first hour was "GET THE F%€# OUT!" Good. But…read moresomewhere after the appetizers, it fell apart. Which was a terrible shame, because up to that point, it was my new favourite place in Stockholm. Sweetie & arrived a little before our reservation time, and were quickly made comfortable at the bar. Belvedere Martini, three olives. All good. As soon as the drink was gone, we were taken to our table. The restaurant is really very beautiful, with a creative warm flair that invites both a lively time, but makes you feel that its warm & cosy at the same time. The menu is VERY creative: interesting plates, exciting ingredients, a good spread of things. I ordered the Ox Cheek Buns & Entrecote, & Sweetie had the Flank Steak menu, with charcuterie board, Korean BBQ flank steak, and creme brulee (highly recommend this!). We ordered the Scaia from the very decent wine list. My Ox Cheek Buns were divine! And this was the inflection point: we were so wowed, that we could barely contain ourselves for what would come next. And it came....over an hour later. At that point, we were starving, slightly drunk, and irritated. Irritated, because the place wasn't full. In fact, by then - 10:00pm - it was barely half full. And we noticed that the only people serving were our waitress, and...the host? The bar had three bartenders. Sure, the steaks were heavenly (especially the flank!). Sure, the creme brulee was great (this arrived shortly before 11:00pm). But the time lag in serving was just....execrable. To add insult to injury, the bill was brought and it was SEK1,100 too high. To his credit, the host noticed it right away, but it still took almost 15mins to sort that out. I'm giving Nosh & Chow 4 stars, because its a great p,ace with great food. When they get another server to help, & sort out kitchen snafus, it will be 5 stars. Go, but bring a book to read. Just in case.

The breakfast was excellent and something I genuinely looked forward to every morning.

The best part of my stay, though, was the people. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about making my visit enjoyable. They offered great recommendations for places to visit and were proactive about helping improve my experience in ways I didn't expect or ask for. Their hospitality made a memorable stay even better.

Not only is the hotel situated in a perfect spot - close to lots of foodie drinkie places - but also to the water and to old town, just short walks away! The breakfast is super great but another reviewers have noted, getting there early is definitely best. The place can be absurdly busy later in the mornings! But the selection of brekkie options is great and there an omelette station too. Our meetings were just around the corner from the hotel so our group booked lunch here every day. Really nice and the staff was always so helpful. The food was excellent too. Staying here I typically would walk out for dinner in town and come back for a nightcap. The bar team was always great and it turns out the bar manager is a whiskey connoisseur and he has crafted a special Clarion Hotel whiskey from Mackmyra but you can't buy it. You can only get it at the hotels. It's a really nice whiskey I have to say! Very smooth but full of flavor. It turns out as he and I were talking about my home in bourbon country, he shared how he got the beautiful flavor. The whiskey spent its time in three different barrels and I love them all!: a traditional bourbon barrel, a Spanish rossa barrel, and a sherry cask. Now I know what you're thinking, but trust me when I say it's amazing. Finely crafted and likely to go with just about any Swedish dish you could imagine pairing it with. Truly great! I grabbed a pic of the bar team that took really great care of me this week Along with some other snaps of the hotel and such, from the week. This is a great stay experience. If you're looking for a great team and a super hotel, conveniently locate to lots of places to go and things to do, this is the place! Check it out when in Stockholm for sure. Thanks to the team for taking such great care of me this week!

Also, it is literally right next door to the Rådhuset T-Bane stop. The lobby is gorgeous, and attracts cool people to its hotel bar. The service at the front desk was helpful and friendly, and they made me feel right at home. The double rooms are small by American standards, but about average for European hotels. Everything looked clean with elegant lines, and was pretty much everything I needed. I checked out the workout room and the pool - the gym was ok with decent machines, but the pool was a bit small. You definitely wouldn't feel comfortable sharing it with another family, but would be lovely if you had it all to yourself. The breakfast buffet was large with a lot of variety, and the front desk helpfully warned us to stay away from 9-10, as this is the time that most of the boat tourists come to breakfast. Outside those hours, there is plenty of room and food.
