Malcolm

A really friendly, characterful hotel. Outstanding value (we had room, dinner and breakfast). Meals were really tasty and high quality with lots of variety at the buffets. Friendly, well stocked bar, frequented by residents and locals too, which made it like a proper bar, not a sterile corporate hotel bar at all. Fantastic location just opposite the station and adjacent to shopping and riverside walks. Would thoroughly recommend.

Second visit to Karlstad and both times have been too short.
Second visit to Karlstad and both times have been too short. There is a lot to see, especially around the cultural area, including the Värmlands Museum and Sandgrund Lars Lerin. And pleasant strolls along the river and canals.

Karlstad is the biggest little city in Sweden and a joy to visit. What other city with <100,000 population even has its own opera house and cathedral? The lakeside setting where Klarälven meets Lake Vänern is gorgeous. There's lots to see and do within the city, even as it is very human-sized and walkable.

A small-big town with many cozy coffee places and great restaurants. The architecture is beautiful and the town is built in a comfortable way so you get to be in many parks and river along with shopping centers and places to eat. The people of the town were friendly and helpful which was really nice.

We chose this hotel as a stop over between Stockholm and Oslo. The room was a little small and as it come with half board, we had dinner at the hotel, which was average. Although I wasn't expecting a 5 star dinner at least it would have being good for the main course (it was a salad and 1 main) to be tasty. The parking wasn't located next to the hotel but 150 mts (not a deal breaker) however not an accurate description. For 1 night it is OK however wouldn't consider for longer stays.

Staff is really helpful and friendly - they offered a cup of morning coffee, for example. Directions and info about the city, including clever grocery shopping, are great. The building is just amazing, you can't miss it! And the inside is clean, tidy, confortable. There's a big shared kitchen with lots of utensils and cooking devices. Great shower and lots of bathrooms per floor. I was lucky enough to be alone in my dorm, it was such a rest after a much worse experience elsewhere!

This was the same apartment I rented 8 months ago; it actually was better than last time! The location is nicely out of the way but in a convenient location to the city center. The garden is a great place for a sandwich and some wine in the sun. I met the owner this time and she was quite charming and pleasant! For the area the price for 7 nights was fantastic. Would highly recommend this location if it's available!

I think the hotel has great potential. The bathroom was newly renovated and it looked great! However, the room itself consists of old furniture that don’t really match. The hotel has a really nice warm jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a pool. We had a great time relaxing in the morning and it was not overly crowded.

the oppertuniry of offering bicycles to their guests (free of charge - very important note) is big win! park the car in their garage and you’re a bikes distance to sny where within the city center. that was a deal breaker for me during my stay at least.
