Review 1：The money i paid was worth the single room but the family room was outdated and cleanliness was poor. Not worth that fee.

Review 2：Good spacious breakfast area and good food served.

Review 3：Menu in restaurant was a bit limited. Maybe not enough use of restaurant to justify too many dishes.

Review 4：Comfortable room , good value for money . Problem in room was fixed immediately when reported.

Review 5：The room and hotel overall needs a facelift. It is clean but the furnishing is outdated.

Review 6：Location is very convenient when travelling by car. Wifi worked well in the room

Review 7：Spa area and pool works from 10:00 to 22:00 and is great to relax after a long day. The location is good if you have a car. Staff is very helpful. Nice choice for breackfast. Overall good value for money. I will stay there everytime I will be in Karlstad area for business.

Review 8：Little far from city center, not available to use second elevator from first floor.

Review 9：Breakfast, swimming pool, facilities of room, big and free parking, forest view, very helpful staff, close to big supermarket.

Review 10：The beds mattresses we very springy and very uncomfortable. Room had too much furniture in Room was like a box room not enough room to swing a cat

Review 11：Sauna swimming pool and jacuzzi were very good. Meal in Restaurant was excellent

Review 12：The property was old and not renovated for a while. The rooms were really old fashioned. There was a leakage around the toilet on the floor. We did inform the front desk but while we were there, the problem was not resolved...

Review 13：Really fantastic breakfast. Waffle machine was a great bonus.

Review 14：Internet slow -but again staff offered an alternative which met work requirements. Bikes were rental only - many similar priced hotels offer free usage

Review 15：Location and hotel amenities ( new gym/pool) good - though a fridge in the room would have been useful. Staff quickly offered ice bucket/ice however. We had one of the dsesigner rooms - which was a bit dark but comfortable. Comfortable bed/good bedding but side table/desk a bit old.

Review 16：not bad..but towels could have been thicker.

Review 17：staff, space, wifi. shower was great, breakfast was excellent - meals also catered for gluten free. Could hire bikes if wished,

Review 18：In June the sun comes up at 3AM. When you have just arrived from the states and you are dealing with jet lag, not having curtains to block the daylight is a REAL inconvenience!

Review 19：Visserligen var det ett ekonomirum, men herregud vilket tråkigt rum! Uppdatera från 90-tal till nutid. Senapsgult- och aprikos och furumöbler fungerar inte.

Review 20：Trevligt med poolområde. Välstädat på rummen. Läget var bra, nära till vägen när man ska vidare.

Review 21：Beds where ok, room clean, nothing special . Surrounding area was dirty with a lot of rubbish. No food until 22.00 , no Resturant .

Review 22：Breakfast is great. Staff is very friendly . Dogs are welcome.

Review 23：Some of the furnishings looked a but dated, but served their purpose well.

Review 24：Breakfast selection, space, comfort, location, free parking, tea and coffee facilities. Room with a pool view!

Review 25：New room had a 5mm thick blanket... and the ventilation was still blowing far to much cold air...no option to regulate or disable...

Review 26：Was allowed to change room

Review 27：We had trouble finding the hotel due to the small street signs and lack of being able to read them quickly while in traffic. This was really the only down side to the property but it took us a good 45 minutes to get to it. At that time we didn't have GPS available.

Review 28：We were not familiar with this hotel or town and found it difficult to find. Once there however, it was a nice place to stay. We were able to eat dinner there as we had just flown into Oslo and drove to Karlstad so we were tired. The dinner was good but the breakfast was excellent! There was a huge array of choices and no one could go away hungry. The staff at the front desk was friendly and answered our many questions.

Review 29：This hotel was great. The hotel staff were friendly and the service was good. Dogs staying with was delightfully taken into account.The service and friendliness due to a small untidiness was excusable

Review 30：We stopped here on our way to Oslo, and it was a great decission. Close to the highway but with no noise at all during the night. Given the prices in the country, it was quite cheap. Really good breakfast, big rooms, good WiFi, and a swimming pool to cool off. Highly recommended

Review 31：That the relax area was not accessible, although the website gave the impression it was. That workers awoke me Saturday morning with their hammers (renovating relax area). The bad selection of beer- one single bottle of IPA left when we arrived. Limited choice of food.

Review 32：Comfortable beds Easy wifi access Nice, helpful staff

Review 33：Air quality in rooms, our stay was in a very hot period and no airconditioning or even ventilation in the room made it very hot. With the window open there is noise from the highway.

Review 87：A bit to crowded, because the hotel was fully booked.

Review 88：The breakfast and the service to us that did travel with animals!!! <3 <3 <3

Review 89：No real issues but the same as other reviews, air conditioning could be a bonus as it was warm after a shower and getting suited up during summer. Don't expect anything but a good petrol station and the E18 nearby. Brilliant to turn up and park though!

Review 90：Beaming smiles on arrival and really surprised by the excellent room, seems like every room has been recently, individually designed... coloured wooden floors, lots of pillows and general fresh and modern design/Ikea decor. This followed through with an excellent breakfast, special orange and spices bread, fresh cereal, toppings and even cooked breakfast options, throughly thought about and tasty. If you're driving and want a relaxing, easy stop over this is it!

Review 91：No shelves in the bathroom, and bath towels could have been a little larger.

Review 92：Staff was very accomodating and helpful. Breakfast and dinner buffet was good

Review 93：The only thing what I wished for was the airconditioning. The room was quite a hot at summernight to sleep :)

Review 94：I simply don´t have anything bad to say. From a very first moment the hotel receptionist make us felt very warmly welcome by his friendly attitude and our little dogs were also very welcome to the hotel. They even had put a waterbowl and a blanket for our doggies to the room -how sweet is that :) ! The price were excellent for the room. The room was spacious and very silent. The breakfast was excellent. We totally come again!

Review 95：Our only issue is the bathroom not having a ledge to keep the shower water contained and not all over the bathroom. We also stayed in Lidkoping at the Best Western and they had the ledge...made the bathroom feel cleaner.

Review 96：Great place to stay

Review 97：Breakfast was very limited to be a 4 star hotel. Our family-room was a bit worn out. The room door lock was partly destroyed by some burgulars.

Review 98：The hotel was ok all in all. Staff seemed friendly.

Review 99：Location is not very convenient for city centre organizations. Wifi quality is low. Room furnitures' are old.

Review 100：Staff is very helpful. Wifi is free. Jakuzi, outdoor swimming pool.

Review 101：Not actually a 4*, quite spartan (no minibar, lots of things you've had to ask for if needed). Didn't like the way they've charged the credit card upon arrival, this is the first time we were treated like that. Location is quite hidden, behind a petrol station, not visible from the highway.

Review 102：Good breakfast, large selection.

Review 103：The fire alarm went off twice but there was no explanation. No one even told us it was a false alarm we just guessed.

Review 104：Easy to find off the highway. Restaurant was on site and had a good selection. Rooms comfortable.

Review 105：The bathroom smelled bad, but after I'd thrown some showergel down the drain (in the shower), it smelled a lot nicer and the bad smell was gone and didn't come back.

Review 106：this hotel was situated on our route, it is not in the center of Karlstad, but close enough to go out to dinner there, Clean room, friendly and helpfull staff.

Review 107：No minisafe in room.

Review 108：Friendly receptionist. Large room with wood floors. Close to E18/E20 motorway to/from Stockholm, good for transit stay. Free parking. Large breakfast buffet.

Review 109：Should have been more staff on job in the desk during the wrc Rally2012. It took too long time because of all the telephone and customsin the desk.

Review 110：- Family room is rather small for 2+2, much better solution to take 2 room suite (which was at the time just 20 eur more expensive)- the room was not properly cleaned for a family with small crawling children (dirty bathroom, not dusted floors, some remains of previous guest party in the bedroom (drink cans behind the curtain)

Review 111：- Immediate location at the highway entrance, very close to city centre but yet quiet and calm location, nice to put kids asleep- available rooms on New Years eve:)
