Top Northern Europe Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel The Hub

Clarion Hotel The Hub

10/10 Excellent
"Top notch breakfast - easily one of the best at any hotels I've ever stayed at. The place was busy - it could be a bit overwhelming at times, especially in the mornings at the breakfast buffet. I believe there was also a conference happening. The room was a good size and I loved the decor. Great location, we walked absolutely everywhere and coming from the train station, it couldn't have been easier or more convenient. I would absolutely reccommend this hotel."
