Clarion Hotel Stockholm
Just a few steps from the Metro entrance and surrounded by a bevy of restaurants. Safe area with lots of foot traffic. Excellent breakfasts with fantastic staff. Careful with upgrades before the visit…you probably won’t need them. Overall a great experience

Bartender was extremely rude while I was sitting in the bar lounge with my son deciding what to drink, came over and said we needed to order something "because it's a restaurant you know"
