Clarion in Växjö is located a few minutes walk from the station in the pedestrian area of the town. There are plenty of parking within a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is divided into two different buildings about a 2 minute walk in between them, however the reception and amenities are all in the main building. The reception is a little quirky and hidden away from the entrance and it also serves as a bar. Breakfast is served on the first floor which is also where the complimentary evening meal is served from 18-21. The hotel has a small gym located in the basement of the other building with treadmills, a cycle and a weight room. The hotel room are average size and the decor is nice, however the is a lack of power points especially around the bed. The bathrooms are nice and big. As the hotel is in the centre of town you have easy access to shopping and restaurants. Overall a good budget hotel at the heart of the town

This 4 star hotel is not worth its 4th star despite its staff being welcoming, attentive and very friendly. In fact, the best thing about this hotel is the staff and potentially the breakfast which is standard but fairly complete in alternatives. The rest, is in need of a desperate renovation. The reception entrance is not inviting as I step in, I am not sure if I am there to order a drink or to check in. The lounge is updated and looks its role. But as soon as you leave the main area and make it to hallways and rooms, the stars start falling off immediately. The room gives into the patio for maximum silence (heard rooms facing the streets are noisy due to the bad isolation of the building). The bed is 140cm broad and looks like someone sank into it too many times, overall more comfortable than it looked. The furniture is outdated, poor and quite worn out. Everything looks like its been around for too long without receiving love. Bathroom has all it the bare minimum requirements but that is all. I did not dare to take shoes off, just didnt give that impression of cleanliness- not due to the cleaning but due to the bad quality of everything in it. I cannot stop wondering from which decade that 4th star was earned. Room serves its purpose- you sleep but you don’t want to stay more than necessary. Definitely not a romantic hotel. Restaurant is non-Impressive. Again furniture reminds of a marketplace collection without the charm. The food that is included in the room price is decent. Not bad, not great, it does what it should but atmosphere takes away the impression even here as thoughts keep going back to some sort of school cantine. Hotel Clarion Collection Hotel Cardinal needs some attention and love, it needs an architect and interior designer to transform it into a place where people want to stay. If you think the dinner invitation is a gesture, think twice; its a way to justify the prices for the rooms which are - significantly- overpriced.
Good for one who wants to stay at Centrum. They offer good breakfast. Complementary dinner available but very less food options. You cannot use membership points to get some extra facility like in other Choice hotels.
Near catastrophy. Had to change room immediately after getting in due to broken door lock. Second room was located far away from the group I was traveling with. New room was extremely cold, and very noisy. The room was poorly cleaned and the shower flooded beyond rescue. Breakfast was OK.
Good hotel with large rooms.
I've lived here on and off for a couple of weeks. The rooms are nice enough, better than average, I would have to say. The hotel is made up of two buildings, so if you don't get a room in the main building you have to walk across the street in the morning to get breakfast, likewise in the evening when you need to get dinner. Could be a hassle during winter. Dinner, which is included in the price and is free, is pretty bland. Breakfast is good. Guests also get free coffee/tee in the afternoon.
very good breakfast buffe location is very central and in close proximity to both bus and trains Staff is very friendly and helpful - rooms lack air-conditioning - poor ventilation in rooms - rooms on the terrace floor (second floor main building) have limited privacy, or no privacy if you want to get some fresh air in thru the window - bar was not able to provide even the simplest of cocktails - cleanliness is lacking in places - standard double bed room smaller than expected Two stars might be slightly harsh, but the overall experience was slightly sub standard and having the room at boiling 30 degrees at night left me with the worst sleep I have had for as long as I can remember. The hotels saving grace is no doubt the super friendly staff and excellent breakfast. It is however not enough to elevate the experience to something I find acceptable. Although I guess I would score the hotell higher had I visited during autumn or winter.
Good hotell in a central located in Växjö. Evening food is included in the room price.
