We stayed 1 night on 24 july 2011 in this nice hotel in Karlstad located near the Cathedral. The room decor was pleasant with free internet / wi-fi connectivity at rooms. All the city attractions are in close proximity from the hotel including the shopping street and cinema hall complex with a Mcdonalds next to it. The breakfast was standard... More

Typical average hotel. Stayed here from 26/12-27/12 in connection with the Eric Prydz concert near by. Location is OK. The sauna/jacuzzi-area had a scent of beer and alcohol, there were empty cans and bottles everywhere. Disgusting, the staff should do regulary cleaning here to make sure this does not happen. More

Stayed one night on a cosmos tour. Excellent breakfast. Room okay but a bit put off finding previous occupant rubbish still left in garbage bin. Just makes you wonder about the rest. But all looked okay. More

Stayed here on business for 2 night, -16 deg outside with loads of snow. Hotel was excellent, great facilities including the treadmill in the basement for running, (not brave enough to attempt the ice covered streets).

Though it wasn't sunbathing weather, we appreciated the large window and opening door for fresh air and warm sunshine... More

Although Karlstad is not partiularly a place to brag about, this hotel exceeded my expectations. It was centrally located, with large, very clean and quiet rooms. Very relaxing. The breakfast buffet was decent and there were several restaurants nearby. More

Loved this hotel! We stayed there during a bus tour through Sweden, and would absolutely stay there again. The hotel is has modern interiors, and is very closely located to the downtown area. But what stood out most of all was the fantastic customer service that we received. Around 9pm on a very cold windy evening, we were looking to... More
