    • Poor staff service, very disappointing Breakfast so so for a Nordic standard.Need renovation

    It is cozy and clean. Very suitable for business travel. I found out last day that they had Sauna and Jacuzzi, too bad no one informed me to use it. The food was nice and everyone was very friendly.

    Only thing missing is a boiler in the room, or some coffee machine.

    The location is quite convenient for the purpose of my visit. Hotel is a bit old, good lobby and restaurant, but a bit basic in the rooms. the haidrier can be already updated, no coffee machine in the room, i guess good value for price.. for 1 night is ok, not complaining, I just think there is improvement areas :)

    The location and the relax area

    The room we had was right by the metal staircase and it made very loud sounds every time someone walked in the stair. We woke up multiple times the night we stayed due to loud noises. The ventilation was also super loud and could not be turned off. I made the mistake of thinking a dubble bed was a queen or king so my bad bc the two beds just separated during night.Overall for the money payed for the room it was not worth waking up all night due to sound.

    Easy to find city center. Atmosphere in reception bar and night restaurant. Cosy

    Crowded do to large groups witch resulted in a feeling of budget hotel. Fantastic food but again the group totally ruined the breakfast

    8HunorPosted on: 11-12-2024

    The bed were confortable, the room was clean and the staff was kind. The breakfast was amazing. I do recommend the use of the parking garage as well because it is realy expensive and difficult parking on the streets.

    The walls are not soundproof so a lot of noise can be heard from neighboring rooms. The room has only a few facilities, no mini fridge or kettle.

    8KeiverPosted on: 9-3-2024

    Rooms were extremely clean! Breakfast was great!

    The construction on the road was inconvenient to navigate around.

    8HillerPosted on: 8-25-2024

    A family oriented hotel, playroom and drinks for the kids. Nice sauna and jacuzzi and really nice breakfast.

    The hotel’s street is under construction and there’s noise from 7am

    6PatrickPosted on: 8-14-2024

    Central in Karlstad

    The streets around the hotel were completely broken up, the breakfast area was overcrowded and there is only one elevator that is fully occupied during peak times. We accidentally left a soft toy behind and offered the hotel to pay for shipping it back to us, but they refused.

    8AlicePosted on: 12-29-2023

    Very central. Great to have gym and little pool

    Very small bedrooms. Run down looking

    2MichelPosted on: 12-9-2023

    Close to bus station

    There was no slippers, no proper refrigerator with minibar, surprisingly no toothbrush, no coffee machine in the room, not much during the breakfast (compared to the price), no proper controllable air conditioner.

    10JohnPosted on: 8-23-2023

    Good locations. Very helpful front desk staff

    Pillows were a little small.

    8AnneliesPosted on: 7-22-2023

    Friendly staff, good breakfast

    The room was dirty, the promised parking garage was full and we had to park on the street.

    4LarsPosted on: 7-20-2023

    Location the underground parking was very good

    The coffee machine and pay, and service to it. As sugar? Milk Creaam. And 25kr for a small cupIt's a scam. Best Scandic Hotel is Umea Scandic Plaza. Very friendly,Very helpful, free coffee in small cup for guests in evening and night. Nice takeaway breakfast in early morning. The are best simple as that.

    10MihaiPosted on: 4-24-2023

    The breakfast was the best we've had in years. Variety was very good, but most of all, the taste was great.Everybody in the staff was friendly and professional.Hotel's restaurant is also top notch.And goes without saying, it was clean. Location is also great.

    Neutral statement: yes, the price is high, as other reviewers have also pointed out. But we felt like the price is justified by the quality of service we got.
