Clarion Collection Hotel Tapto

Welcomed by very friendly and helpful staff at reception who provided guidance regarding the city's transport systems - the nearest metro station is within 500 metres. We arrived in time to take advantage of afternoon "fika" - an added bonus. An evening meal - buffet format - was included within the room tariff and this was certainly more filling than the "light" description on the hotel's website. There was a large and varied selection of items at the continental breakfast which was equally as good and tasty as the evening meal. Our room was a good size with comfortable beds and a clean bathroom; good water pressure and range of temperature from the shower. The curtains provided good black-out, and we were able to open the window for added ventilation - not sure whether any other method, e.g. air con, was available to regulate the temperature. Although there wasn't any suitable secure storage area for a bike, the staff were happy for us to store ours in the room as there was plenty of space; (but not height capacity for the bike to remain on the car's roof in the underground carpark). Parking was available in a nearby underground carpark, although there was a charge for this. There seemed to be substantial tolerance regarding early check-ins and late check-outs, with the staff happy to permit us to leave our luggage in the locked storage room until the early evening following our visit to various sites in Stockholm.

Wonderful breakfast: freshly baked crispy bread, scrambled eggs, sausages, crispy bacon, butter, cheeses, fresh herbs, hearty ginger shots, yogurt, pancakes. Snacks for FIKA: coffee, tea with some kind of cake or pastry. Dinner: pumpkin soup, cheese, croutons, potato casserole, chicken, tacos. The room was a good size — clean and cozy. Free coffee and tea available 24/7. There’s a tap with drinking water where you can refill your bottles.

Breakfast, dinner and fika was superior compared to most classy European hotels. There was coffee and tea service available throughout the day. The staff was exellent. Tobias and Daria from the reception and especially the kind and helpful Amina from the restaurant. You take the 57 or 67 bus very close to the hotel to go to most touristic places. This hotel puts a high standard for comparison.

We always stay at this hotel because it is very close to my son's house. We feel very much at home and it is affordable for us. Being able to have dinner as part of the price is bonus. Even if we sometimes go out for dinner it is good value. Personnel is very kind and helpful. Lounge is cosy and there is good coffee 7/24.

The location was great. It is a 15-20 minute walk to downtown at the water. There is an amazing park very close by to the hotel. There is also a mall and lots of restaurants close by. The rooms were bigger than I expected and all came with a fan, no AC. The gym in the hotel was decent too. We also like that dinner is included as well. Standard with the Clarion hotels.
