Clarion Hotel Umeå

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Yes, it is worth booking if you want a central 4-star base with a spa, a gym and a well-rated breakfast at a mid-range price. Skip it if your budget is tight, because the Budget pick in Umeå costs less than half as much.

Who it suits and who should skip it

This is a good fit for couples and short-break travellers who want to walk to the river and the old church, then come back to a spa. Families can look here too, since family rooms are listed. Business travellers get a gym, a restaurant and free Wi-Fi.

Pets appear in the property tags, but the exact pet policy and any fee are not confirmed. Ask the hotel before you travel with an animal.

Skip it if you only need a clean bed for one night. At €125.80 a night it sits above the city median of €100.70 in our sample. Also skip it if spotless bathrooms are your top priority, as a few guests mention dust.

Location and getting around

The address is 36 Storgatan, and the location score is 9.3. Gamla bron, the old bridge, is about 0.4 km away, roughly 5 minutes on foot. Umeå City Church is 0.6 km, around 8 minutes.

Bildmuseet is 1.7 km away, about 21 minutes walking. These walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer. In November, darkness and cold can make even short walks feel longer, so plan accordingly.

Parking is not listed in the data. If you are driving, check whether the hotel has spaces and what they cost.

What guests say

The score is 8.5 out of 10 from 1,966 reviews, which is a large and reliable sample. Breakfast gets the most praise. Guests describe an extensive buffet with a wide range of fresh options, and a breakfast to go is also offered.

Staff come up often as friendly and helpful, with a solution-oriented approach. The main complaint is cleaning. Rooms are generally described as fresh, but some guests report dust and missed spots in bathrooms.

Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks

The reference price was €125.80 per night, seen for a 2-night stay on 10 to 12 November 2026 for 2 adults. That is not a live quote. Check today's price for your own dates.

For that you get 4 stars, a spa and wellness centre, a gym, a pool, a restaurant and a terrace, all listed by the property. Opening times and any extra fees for these must be confirmed.

Our Budget pick, Scandic Go, Västra Norrlandsgatan 13, was €52.35 a night with a score of 8.4 and 3 stars. Our Luxury pick, Elite Hotel Mimer, was €146.91 with a score of 8.5 and 4 stars. Clarion matches Mimer on score for about €21 less per night.

Why it made our top 3

We compared 7 eligible hotels in Umeå. Clarion shares the top review score in that sample, has close to 2,000 reviews behind it, and costs less than the Luxury option. It is not the cheapest hotel, but the balance of score, review volume and price earned it the Best Value slot.
