Clarion Collection® Hotel Borgen

Nice hotel, perfect location with view on the castle. We came by train and station is only 400m. They offer you the choice of cleaning your room or not in case of multiple nights staying. It’s a enviremental statement. We choose to clean it anyway but they didn’t do it either. That was our only negative comment.

Charming atmosphere with friendly and warm staff. Excellent room and comfortable beds. Evening meal (included) offers soup of the day and main course, gives us everything we need combined with lots of fresh vegetables and free coffemachine!

Really enjoyed staying in this hotel. Rooms had everything you would want with fixtures and fittings of highest standard. Breakfast and dinner ( which was included) were nicely prepared and very tasty. Found the location very central to walk around the city.

The hotel was generally very good, but a few negatives spoilt the stay. I will come back to those at the end. The hotel sits on a river and is very centrally located. We arrived at the hotel and easily found a parking meter right outside. I paid SEK110 from 1pm until 9am the next day. The meters do not take cash. The hotel has a very relaxed atmosphere and serves free hot drinks, cookies and cakes from 3pm to 6pm daily. Then at 6pm a delicious evening buffet starts. When I made the booking I could only book half board and we really enjoyed our meal. We could not eat breakfast because we were off early to run a race. The hotel was very quiet at night and we had a lovely sleep. The negatives were: 1. On arrival, we were made to wait 8 minutes to check in. The receptionist was serving guests with drinks. She can back to the reception twice, but just ignored us and walked off again. 2. The bathroom had a very funny smell in it and wasn't cleaned properly. 3. There were Silverfish crawling around in the bathroom and bedroom. 4. I called the hotel before arrival to ask about parking and was advised that it is very hard to park close to the hotel and the best thing to do is park in their recommended car park, which is 10 minutes walk away and costs SEK195 per night.

Room big and nice, beds comfy (even the extra bed). Excellent location. Friendly staff. Great breakfast buffet, very good dinner and afternoon sweets, which included fruits which made me extra happy..
