Clarion Hotel Amaranten

A great base for a...

Liked: The hotel is well-located, close to the underground (T-bana) one stop from Central station, and with a supermarket just opposite for any supplies you may need. Our room was in perfect condition and made up daily, and the breakfast buffet had lots of choice. The staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful.
Disliked: About the only complaint I could make was the lack of air-conditioning in the rooms, which was unfortunate as the weather was quite hot, but this is pretty standard in Europe and we were not expecting it. The hotel is quite big and seemingly popular with coach parties, so breakfast can be quite busy at popular times.

Great stay

Liked: The breakfast was amazing. Buffet style 7am to 11am. Very busy but always foung space to sit. There are 3 lifts that work with your room key on the way up. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was small but adequate and clean . The fridge was stocked, so there no space to put your own bottle. We booked through booking.com and got a very good rate . If you exit Rahuten station at the exit with the name ending .....garten you go up the escalator and take the left corridor then up the stairs (the elevator is being replaced) and turn left at the top of the stairs the entrance to the hotel is on the left revevolving doors a few metres up.It is veryy convenient and the station is only 1 stop from T-central where all the train lines and busses can be accessed. Trams nearby and biat/ ferries with the SL travel card or app.
Disliked: We asked for early check-in and was told "subject to availability" at check-in we were told straight away that this was only available to members, otherwise there would be a charge. They could have advised that in response to my message and we would have looked aroung T- Central before arriving. Also at breakfast a sign states "free coffee al day" but we witnessed an olderman being reprimanded at the reception for helping himself. He offered to pay but they said it is free to members he asked how he becomes a member and they just let him have the coffee. When i asked at the bar in the evening the server agreed the sign was not clear but free coffee is only for members. And extra few words on the sign would have helped.I felt communication was not great but face to face the staff were great.

Disliked: The a.c. could be better, it was to weak as you cannot set it lower than 19 degrees and the fan of the a.c.was very low and you cannot control it.
