Recommended for cyclists

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We travel with our bicycles and very much appreciated that we could store our bicycles in the hotel in the basement. The hotel is nicely located directly at the river and the city center is close by. There is free coffee at all times and the breakfast was appropriate. We can recommend the hotel for people traveling by bicycle.

Sentralt og fint hotell

Supert . Hyggelig betjening og fine rom . Denne gangen fikk vi dobbelseng😀. Bodde her for snart 10 år siden på vår første kjærlighetstur og da fikk vi enkeltsenger , nedtur 😂😂😂. Den gang var det restaurant på hotelle noe som var et stort pluss . Nå gikk vi noen hundre meter for å komme til restauranter , så ikke noe problem 😀

Fin utsikt

Väldigt bra och prisvärt hotell. Sköna sängar, rent och en bra frukost. Utsikten var underbar. Väldigt nära Sandgrund och centrum nåddes på 7-8 min. Tryggt område. Dyr parkering men över bron kostar det mindre och man går snabbt dit. Rekommenderar

Ok hotel

Fin lokasjon, hyggelig betjening og relativt fine rom. I helgen er det gratis gateparkering som jeg benyttet etter tips fra resepsjon. Eneste minuset var en rotete frokost.

Kort innom Karlstad

Dårlig renhold på badet. Veldig mørkt rom med dårlig lys mtp så lite vindu. Vaffeljernet ved frokosten burde stått for seg selv, for hvis du skulle ha frukt, meieriprodukter, gryn eller syltetøy kom man ikke frem pga vaffelkø. Savnet grove rundstykker/brød, men ellers ok frokost. Sengene var bra.

Synd att kalla (och bedöma) detta som hotell, borde ses som ett motell. Ingen service efter kl 22, fruktansvärda sängar, ingen ac och området för servering av kvällsdrink/frukost liknar Scandic tidigt 80-tal. Detta till trots så gör personalen stor skillnad med deras soliga humör.

Bra lugnt boende, med god frukost vid vackra Klarälven o endast några min walk till centrum och Lars Lerin o Värmlandsmuseum. 15min walk till Inre hamn för båtbuss genom stan. Ett boende vi gärna besöker igen.

Bra hotell med bra löge

Bra hotell med läge vid älven. Hade turen att få rett rum mot älven och då på skuggsidan när det var 29 grader och SOL i Karlstad Litet rum och varmt men vi kunde sova med fönsterrutor öppet hela natten Frukosten av det enklare slaget men det fanns allt att välja på. Lite speciellt med att frukosten var uppdukad i receptionen Fanns ingen egen parkering Totalt en bra upplevelse

Kunne det vært særlig bedre..?

Et helt nydelig opphold i en fantastisk by. Hotellet har tilgang på god parkering på andre siden av CCC, allerede der har de scoret bra i min verden. Når man i tillegg møtes av en fantastisk blid og hyggelig betjening som svarer godt på alt jeg lurte på så var spenningen stor, ville rommet matche atmosfæren? Rommet hadde et moderat stort bad, men tross sin størrelse så var det helt perfekt innredet så det fylte alle sine oppgaver med full score. Selve rommet var også moderat på størrelse, men med en god seng og stoler samt en nydelig utsikt over elven så sto det kun igjen frokosten som hadde igjen noe spenning hva kvaliteten gjaldt. Frokostsalen, i fare for å virke repetitiv, moderat i størrelsen men atter igjen så er alle funksjoner ivaretatt, godt nok utvalg av pålegg og betjeningen var kjappe til å rydde klart bord så fort de var forlatt. Litt utfordringer har de nok med fugler på bordene ute, men hvor mye en kan skylde dette på Hotellet er jeg usikker på. Kanskje om de var enda litt kjappere til å rydde bordene der ute, for der kunne det bli liggende litt lengre enn inne la vi merke til. Men igjen, fugler er fugler, ikke lett å temme de 😉 Alt i alt et meget godt besøk, ser ikke bort fra at vi tar turen igjen ved en senere anledning 👌
