Fint hotel med veldig hyggelige ansattr.

Vi hadde 2 rom. Ene rommet fungerte ikke kjøling/ac, men hotellet hadde satt frem en vifte. Veldig hyggelig ansatte, fint hotel og veldig god frokost. Ligger veldig lokalt i byen. Vi booket boblebadet, men til vår skuffelse så fungerte verken boblene eller varmen. Men vi hadde badet for oss selv, så det gikk helt fint.

Restaurangen.

Överlag bra. Varmt på rummet i och med avsaknad av AC. Det är ett stort minus som jag måste komma ihåg tills nästa gång, dvs undvika hotellet om det är högsommar. Rent på rummet och i badrummet. Saknade minibar, främst för möjligheten att ha en kyl. Låg standard mot vad jag är van vid. Åt på restaurangen på kvällen. Maten var bra, tack köket. Men servisen, oj, så ouppmärksam personal var det länge sedan som jag såg. Det var katastrof dåligt, då var det ändå tre personer som jobbade och vi hade ett bord precis framför baren. Skärpning.

Bra frukost och service, men varmt rum

Hotellet har ett bra läge och frukosten var riktigt trevlig. Personalen, särskilt nattpersonalen, var hjälpsam när vår förbokade parkering visade sig vara full – vi fick en alternativ plats, vilket löste problemet. Tyvärr var rummet väldigt varmt och utan AC, vilket påverkade sömnen negativt. Ett i övrigt trevligt hotell, men med vissa praktiska brister att vara medveten om.

Helt okej för ett par nätter

Lyhört med stökiga grannar i rummet bredvid men väl hanterat av personalen. Litet rum för att vara ett ”familjerum” med två dubbelsängar (sköna) och en bäddsoffa (stenhård). Frukosten helt okej med det som kan förväntas för pengen man betalar för boendet. Trafiken utanför stökig kvällstid (helg) med motorcyklar och raggare som spelar hög musik.

Topp service og beliggenhet!

Veldig fint hotell! Noen av rommene er mer oppdaterte enn andre, men god standard uansett. Veldig god frokost! Eneste negative er at det ikke er AC og kan bli litt støy ut mot veien i helgene, men du får vifte på rommet og så lenge vinduet er igjen så er ikke støyet så ille. Totalt sett veldig fornøyd med oppholdet og nære sentrum.

Karlstads "raggare"

Den del av Karlstads befolkning som åker runt på stan med högtalare på taket, och musik på maxvolym, har sin rutt just utanför hotellet, så vi sov inte mycket. Men det kan ju inte gärna hotellet rå för.
