Room was bigger than other hotels we stayed at in Scandinavia. Clean with nice shower. Breakfast was very good and staff were friendly. There was plenty of parking which was not the case at other hotels. Short walk to town center.

It is a nice area and safe and clean. It is relatively old hotel. We got a room very far from the front desk which is inconvenient.

Poor Food, Lovely room
The Room was fine, all the activities for kids was great. But the evening menu was very poor. The beef filled have the size of the bun, the ketchup was selfinvented and tasted mostly like pure tomato pure, not kid friendly.. Just a poor experience dinning

Terrible breakfast
Nice Hotel. But as for all Scandic hotels in Sweden the breakfast is terrible. especially the bacon which doesn’t look or taste as bacon, the pancakes which should not be allowed to be called pancakes and the sausages are made from chicken which make me feel sick.
Most other Swedish hotels serve a great breakfasts, but not Scandic.

Slitent hotell
Fikk rom mot motorveien. Utrolig mye støy. Sluket var tett og det ble oversvømmelse. Fikk nytt rom.

Passende turterreng for eldre rundt hotellet
Har vært på hotellet tidligere. Familie i Karlstad. Deilig turterreng rundt hotellet, og nærhet til byen og serverdigheter. Lett å komme til og stille område.
