We have stayed in many Scandic hotels and this one is typical of the high quality they provide. I do not agree with a recent reviewer who says it is 'tired'. The hotel is bright and clean and all one could wish for in such a class of hotel. The rooms are a good size with good facilities and the... More

When we arrived at the hotel, we used the little parking area just across the street, which was not very expensive compared to the fees in other Swedish cities. The staff was friendly, although we had to change our room because of the ventilatory noise, which is a well-known problem there. The room and the bathroom were of medium size... More

I'm not sure who this hotel appeals to. It certainly isn't romantic and isn't really up the standard for a business grade hotel. Breakfast is filling, but basic. The competition (Elite Hotels) has raised the bar, and Scandic needs to lift their game. Although the lobby area is OK, the guts of the hotel just feel old. The hallways have... More

Freindly staff, clean rooms, basic and pleasant. The rooms are out of IKEA, but are clean and quiet. There is a small fitness room, but it is also clean and has the basics for a decent workout. There is also great running right outside the door, as there is in all of Karlstad. Breakfast is good and more than basic.... More

Booked this hotel based on tripadvisor's reviews and it turned out to be a really nice hotel. We arrived in the "city of sunshine" in the rain so we stayed in. There's a pay parking lot right across from the hotel so we put in enough coin to last till 10am the next morning. When we checked in to our... More

My family stayed there for 2 nights. We enjoyed our stay there, the room was clean and nice. We liked the food for breakfast and also the food in the restaurant was tasteful. Everyone who worked there was service minded and helpful. Internet was a little bit slow sometimes but mostly it was fine. we would like to go back... More

I stayed here for two nights during a conference. I felt very welcome when I arrived and I could have my room immediately even though I arrived early. The room had a very stylish decor, and the only thing missing was a fridge. The location is very good close to the city centre and to the river. Breakfast was excellent... More

The rooms are simple and basic as the Scandics are known to be. The bathroom had a slightly musty smell, but otherwise things in the room were fine. The location is great, right in town. There is a street/square with a lot of restaurants just a couple of blocks away. The breakfast was excellent and well stocked despite being very... More

I am wrong to assume all Scandic Hotels have reasonable quality. I say so after staying at this hotel. They have very small lift and out of the two lifts only one works (at least only one was working at that time) making it difficult to go up or down. We were 4 persons and had to wait for more... More
