Ligger fint vid Klarälven, gott om parkeringsplatser, bra frukost. Börjar på att vara i behov av en ansiktslyftning. Familjerummet var ganska litet - queensizesäng och inga sittmöbler utöver en stol.

Observera att Scandic kräver leg vid incheckning.

Hotellet ligger fint vid Klarälven,gott om parkering,mycket trevlig och serviceinriktad personal.Kanske att restaurangen är stängd på söndagar kan vara en nackdel men det tar ca 5 minuter med bil så är man nere i centrum och där finns flera restauranger man kan välja bland

The room was well cleaned. In spite of that it was a superior room, there was only one chair in this 2-bed room.
In the lobby there was only very low chairs/sofas so that an older/retired person had to stand and could not sit anywhere.

Fint läge

Tycker det var bra, god frukost med mycket att välja på. Fin uteplats.
Rummet var rent o fint.
Det jag saknade var en plattare kudde, gillar inte att ha högt under huvudet när jag ska sova.
Lite lyhört ( smälldes i dörrar).

Guldställe

Mycket trevlig personal! Rakt av! Väldigt bra frukost och restaurangen levererade även kvällstid.
Sköna sängar. Men avsaknaden av aircondition blev tydlig när det var 30 grader i skuggan. Mycket varmt på rummet.

Vore det möjligt att sätta kortläsare på dörrarna längst bort från receptionen så skulle det förenkla väldigt mycket. Vi hade en del tung packning som vi var tvungna att ha med på dagarna och vi hade rum längst bort från receptionen.

Men vistelsen var kanon! Kommer definitivt välja detta hotell igen. Detta mycket tack vare den fantastiska personalen.

När vi checkade in bar det problem att aktivera nyckelkorten. Vi la in våra väskor på rummet. När vi sem kom tillbaks fumgerade inte nyckelkorten. Visade sig att enligt datan fanns det ingen på rummet, så de hade tagit ut våra väskor från rummet. Så vi fick korten aktiverade igen och fick hämta våra väskor. Det visade sig att vi fått en gemensam säng fast vi önskade ett rum med två sängar.

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.

En helg i Karlstad

Ett toppen hotell. Mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående personal i både reception och restaurang. Fina, rena rum. Jättegod och bra frukost med allt vi önskade. Ett plus att man kunde låna cyklar av hotellet då det var lätt att ta sog runt med cykel i Karlstad. Vi är mycket nöjda med vårt boende

Jättegod frukost och rensa å fräsha rum. Testade poolen på kvällen å bastun, skönt!

Själva hotellet skulle väll kanske behövas fräshas upp men inget som jag störs av så sammantaget ett jättebra hotell

This hotel was great. The staff was professional, friendly, caring, and very helpful. It was convenient, clean, and quiet. There were tour buses full of people, but the property was always quiet. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious. The dinner was excellent. The next time I am in Sweden I will stay here again. I like to stay in Scandic hotels while in Sweden. We are loyal customers!

För varmt rum och inte riktigt städat

Litet 4-bäddsrum som badade i sol och var mycket varmt när vi checkade in, fanns ingen ac, bara fläkt. Smuts (naglar eller hudflikar?) under madrassen, svarta hårstrån på madrasskydden. Fönster åt vägen (E18) och vi var tvungna att ha fönstret öppet på natten pga varmt, så man hörde ju trafiken.

Men trevlig personal, bra med parkering och trevlig lagom promenad längs vattnet in till stan.

Nice View, excellent breakfast but needs cleaning

The place was ok for one night and the breakfast was excellent, but the room was not exactly clean (Found hairs in the shower and under the bed after I dropped something) and it was kind of tight for 2 people. Nice view though!

hotel tæt ved E18. Hvis du får værelse mod Klarälven er der stille og roligt. Dejlig morgenmad med masser af valgmuligheder, frisk brød og varme retter. Opmærksom betjening. Restaurant OK god - dejlig udsigt mod Klarälven. Hotellet virker lidt slidt, men opmærksomt, venligt og hjælpsomt personale sikrer en god oplevelse. Dejlige omgivelser for en promenade langs Klarälven. Gratis, god parkering. Godt til prisen.

Lugnt och fint placerat! Vi fick låna en spjälsäng utan extra kostnad vilket är guld, definitivt inte alla ställen som är så snälla! Knappen på toaletten var sönder och badrumsprodukterna var helt tomma vilket var lite småtråkigt men ingenting som sabbade upplevelsen i sig.

Ingen air-conditioning på rommet, veldig varmt. Ikke så bra standard på rommene og bad, ganske slitt og gammel standard. Svært misfornøyd med at det var fult på parkeringen og det var en bil som hadde okkupert 3 plasser, de ansatte brydde seg ikke om det. Frokosten var ok, greit utvalg men kald mat og tørt brød men ikke det verste jeg har vært borti. Tror ikke vi besøker dette stedet igjen.
