    tired room
    lack service

    the 'delightful' rooftop pool had no staff service to assist me, what a joke! the room felt old and tired with a black stain on the bed sheet— how charming! all I wanted was a welcoming upgrade, but instead, I got treated like just another guest. I almost gave a good review but just couldn't!

    The location is superb, with direct views over the River Klarä that enhance the ambiance. I loved starting my mornings on the rooftop terrace, sipping on coffee while enjoying the beautiful scenery around me. The heated bathroom floors provided that extra luxe touch

    amazing breakfast
    culinary highlight
    limited parking
    silly oversight

    The breakfast buffet was amazing, with a bountiful selection and tasty options that set you up for the day. Plus, the food at Bishop's Arms was a culinary highlight, complementing the hotel's riverside vibes—definitely perfect for unwinding after exploring Karlstad!

    Would have been useful to know that you needed to book for the limited parking. We had to use a public long-stay car park, which was only a short walk away and not expensive, but it felt like a silly oversight at check-in.

    Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

    I had a comfortable night in the Standard Single Room after a long day of travel. The bed was large and cozy, which made for a restful sleep. While the bathroom needs an update, the breakfast buffet truly shined, offering a fantastic selection to kickstart the day. Future guests should ask about parking options ahead of time for less hassle!

    spacious room
    rooftop pool
    local nightlife
    luggage accessibility

    We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, especially the spacious deluxe room that was perfect for our family and our little dog. The rooftop pool was a highlight, and we loved exploring the local nightlife within a short walk of the hotel.

    In my wife’s opinion, having an elevator would help with luggage and moving around, especially with kids in tow.

    rooftop pool

    great location but minor service hitches

    The location is excellent,, right at the center with numerous dining options just a stroll away. The breakfast offered an impressive variety, including gluten-free and lactose-free choices that catered to diverse diets. The rooftop pool was a special experience, especially when paired with the beautiful river view—perfect for unwinding after a long day.
