Besök till Wermland Operan (Operan Selmas premiär), där oväntat även Kungaparet var närvarande.
Pros:

Ett hotell med långa traditioner i ett vackert läge, i stadens centrum vid floden mittemot Operan och ganska nära järnvägstationen. Vi bodde i hotellets gamla del från 1870-talet. Det var stiligt med gamla möbler och kristallkronor även i trappuppgängarna. Rummet var tillräckligt stort och sängen bekväm och vyn över floden. Personalen var mycket vänlig och frukosten ypperlig!

Ok hotell centralt i Karlstad
Pros:

Läget centralt i Karlstad

Cons:

Hade bokat ett litet dubbelrum. Kändes mer som ett enkelrum med stor säng (160 cm). Bara läslampa, eluttag och sängbord på ena sidan av sängen

Pros:

Rent, fint och väldigt trevlig personal..

Cons:

Spaet var extremt litet och vi ångrar på att vi la pengar på det. Det var en liten varm pool, ett
Litet badkar med kallt vatten, två bastu och en hamamdusch för 600kr per person. Särskilt med tanke på att takpoolen ingick.

Koselig sted med en veldig god spaopplevelse.
Pros:

Frokosten var veldig god. Spaopplevelsen med massasjen var også helt fantastisk, og noe jeg absolutt vil anbefale videre.

Cons:

Jeg følte at jeg ikke fikk nok informasjon om parkeringsplasser da jeg booket rommet.
