Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport Terminal

Guests appreciate the gym, sauna and a small outdoor pool; some note the pool feels cold and wish for a poolside bar. The on-site bar and restaurant are convenient, though bar ambience and service get mixed feedback.

Rooms and public areas are widely described as clean and well kept. A few mention musty odors, dusting lapses, or bathroom issues like blocked drains and sewer smells.

Rooms are generally comfortable and quiet with good soundproofing, and several note spacious layouts or runway views. Drawbacks include inconsistent pillows and some worn mattresses, limited temperature control (too hot or cold), occasional noise between rooms, minimal luggage storage, and dim or small rooms in some cases.

Service is frequently praised as friendly, helpful and efficient, with smooth check-ins, upgrades and thoughtful touches like early breakfast bags. Reported issues include long check-in queues at busy times, a missed wake-up call, an overbooking that forced relocation, and occasional bar or room-service mishandling.

The in-terminal Sky City location with direct access to Terminal 5 and other terminals is a key advantage, ideal for late arrivals and early flights. Easy walks from trains and check-in desks are also appreciated.

Breakfast is a highlight, starting at 4:00 with a large variety and made-to-order omelettes; takeaway breakfast bags help before early flights. Negatives include some hot items served lukewarm, occasional coffee-machine failures, and pricier or average bar/restaurant experiences with items running low near closing.
