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

Jag vill först o främst säga att detta hotell kan i bästa fall klassas som ett 3 stjärnigt hotell men absolut inte 4 stjärnigt!!! Det fattades bekvämligher bl.a. vattenkokare minibar som oftast finns i hotell med 3 stjärnor!!! Enbart priset matchade för hotell med 4 stjärnor!!!

Helgmeny

Allt var bra. Men vi blev besvikna på helg menyn när vi skulle äta middag. Den bestod av hamburgare, räksmörgås och cesarsallad. Vi valde hamburgare som var torr och tråkig.

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
