Great stay in the middle of Karlstad.
Pros:

Breakfast was really lovely. It was great to stay centrally in Karlstad. We could look out of the window and the square was there, in the middle of the town.

Cons:

Hard to get from the garage to the room. The room was a bit small but fine.

alldeles för dyrt om man ser till fräschheten och interiör.
Pros:

grabbarnas rum 113 var najs men vårt rum som kostade typ lika mkt var trångt och luktade unket. Samt att ingen städade inför dag två trots att vi satte ut en skylt om detta. Puben var najs och gymmet. Frukosten och matsalen toppklass, och all personal super.

Cons:

städning och fräschheten.

Pros:

Frukosten är kanon! Gärna mer glutenfria alternativ. Bröd och fika.

Cons:

Hög musik från restaurangen bredvid. Kommer aldrig tillbaka en söndag.

Pros:

Location good however car noise at night not great - too many loud engines and music until midnight.
Rock festival not ideal for noise either but party next door to our room was worse - however dealt with quickly with staff and security at 2.30am. Thank you!
Breakfast good but lack of staff disappointing.
Bike hire was great for us - easy to sort and worked well.
Rooms compact but nice and modern

Cons:

Noise!!! Lack of sleep
