Är mycket nöjd!
Pros:

Ett hotell som sticker ut, positivt. Frukosten mycket bra. Fransmännen borde göra studiebesök. Gott bröd i stort urval. Perfekt äggröra, Tranbärsjuice spetsad med ingefära, en höjdare Etc. Vi visste att vi skulle komma sent och frågade om vi kunde få något av kvällsmålet som ingick i priset fastän vi anlände kl 11, Trevlig dam värmde på en hel måltid inkl sallad.
Att huset varit fängelse fanns kvar som tema i inredning och konst. Ett litet museum fanns också och gav ett extra plus. Dessutom möjlighet till gratis parkering.

Cons:

Inget att klaga på.

Hotel cómodo y bien situado, pero la cena mejorable
Pros:

Hotel muy cómodo en una ubicación estupenda, a apenas 10 minutos a pie del centro. Además, me gustó que respetan la historia del edificio, una antigua cárcel, con fotografías antiguas por pasillos y habitaciones e incluso un pequeño museo en el sótano recreando las antiguas celdas.

Cons:

El bufé de la cena nos pareció muy pobre. Apenas tres boles de ensaladas y una única opción "caliente", que te tiene que gustar sí o sí si quieres cenar.

Ein empfehlenswertes Hotel und sehr günstig gelegen um Karlstad zu erkunden.
Pros:

War alles top. Sehr schönes Zimmer und freundliches Personal. Das Essen war prima vor allem das Frühstück. Interessant das kleine Museum. Das Parken im Gefängnishof gegen Bezahlung ganz unkompliziert. Schön wären noch Infos auf Deutsch aber mit Englisch war eine gute Verständigung möglich.

Cons:

Nichts

Bra beliggenhet
Pros:

Veldig bra beliggenhet. Kort vei til sentrum av Karlstad. Hyggelig personale. Sengen var god å ligge i. Man kunne få middag på hotellet og det var inkludert. Det var buffet og man kunne ta det jeg ville ha. Det var museum i kjelleren og det var interressant.

Cons:

Jeg kunne høre at noen gikk i etasjen over meg og det var litt høy lyd. Jeg puttet ørepropper i ørene og da hørte jeg ingenting. Frokosten kunne vært bedre. Det var ikke noe hvitt brød.
