    Very happy I chose to stay there.

    Liked : Kind staff, central location and a great breakfast.

    Disliked : The room was a bit small and the shower was a bit underwhelming. Great value for the price though.

    We parked about 10 minutes walk away, in a parking garage. 120SEK for 24h.

    Liked : Great location. Friendly staff. Simple but clean. Comfy bed.

    Disliked : The pillows were a bit too thick and the eggs were a bit too soft boiled but, not a big issue.

  • OlgaUkraine · Jun 29, 2024 10Exceptional

    Liked : The hotel is located on a busy street in the center of Karlstad, the train station is a 7-minute walk, shops, cafes, and restaurants are nearby, close to the park and museum. The rooms are neat, the room has everything for convenience. Yes, the shower and toilet are small and you need to get used to using them correctly, but this does not cause much inconvenience. The main thing is that the shower and toilet are clean and everything works well. The hotel has a pleasant common area for breakfast and lunch; free coffee, tea, and cookies. Since the hotel was not packed to capacity, the administrator even allowed to look at a couple of rooms on different sides and choose the one I liked (on one side the rooms overlook a busy street, on the other there is a view of the roof of a neighboring building).

    A no-frills but good budget hotel, perfectly fine for an overnight stay.

    Liked : The hotel was quite central ( above a store in the central pedestrian zone) but tricky to find since the signage was not obvious. Access was up a flight of stairs, then a welcome elevator. Room was basic, but comfortable with fresh air, good heating and Wifi and a good shower. Continental breakfast was also basic but adequate and coffee, tea, biscuits and apples were freely available at any time from the Reception area. Staff were friendly and helpful and kindly allowed a late checkout due to afternoon train. Handy to supermarkets and shops. Bike hire available at Solsta Hire ( no connection to hotel) near the public library.

    Disliked : Hard to find, so improve your signage please. Otherwise all fine.
