Clarion Hotel Malmö Live
This is a super convenient hotel with a friendly staff and good sized rooms. The only downside we had on this trip as we've stayed here before was that the temperature control in the room wasn't working well

Radisson Blu Hotel, Malmö
Clean room, very comfortable bed, very spacious room. Breakfast choice was plentiful but some of the quality was poor especially hot food. Air conditioning in the room not good, room very stuffy. Staff welcoming and efficient.
