    Ok for a one-night stopover, would probably look for something with a bit more character if staying longer

    Felt a bit tired, a lick of paint is needed. Mattress a bit thinner and softer than I would have liked. Breakfast fairly basic

    Pretty waterside location Very friendly and efficient young woman on reception and bar duty in the evening. Decent enough value for what you get.

    Very small room, with a very small bed (140 cm wide...i never encountered such a small bed in a 4 star hotel before)...it seemed that was what i reserved (i think it was very well hidden in room facilities when i reserved as i did not seen it). Scarce breakfast. Also, took a fine for parking in a totaly empty parking lot right next to the hotel.

    Very near to city centre. The girl at reception was very helpful.

    We assumed when we saw "parking" advertised that it was free and on site. It was not free, and not on the hotel site. But quite close.

    Breakfast was very good, and the staff were patient wtih those of us who stayed a bit past closing time

    The cleaning process was not clear, even though they explained it in the beginning. They wrote to leave the towels on the floor to get new ones. But we didn't get any when we did that. They just took the old towels. They removed the trash but didn't really make the bed.

    Nice clean hotel. Good location and helpful staff

    The dust on the glasses on the table, on the desk and lamps. It would have been nice if they were dusted before a guest arrives. Mugs and cutlery in the kitchenette also need to be checked before guests check in as two mugs were not really clean and that also was the case for some of the cutlery and a pan. But easily rinsed off but again it would have been nice if everything had been checked thoroughly before our arrival by the staff.

    Wonderful staff, the shower chair for my mum was missing but they made sure one was provided so great staff that will go that extra mile for you with a smile. Nice breakfast and perfect location. Beds are super comfy. Easy public parking. However, the room could have needed a quick dust as there was a layer of dust on the glasses on the table and on the lights. But we had a great stay and would definitely come back if we have the opportunity to do so.

    Large room with river view. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Able to pay for the parking at the hotel desk. Excellent location near the city center. The entry doors open automatically.

    (-) Cleaningness: This is a personal judgement. My wife thought the room was quite clean. However, I take notice of accumulated dust on the hair dryer, the mugs in the room, and on furniture surfaces. Yes, the room was visually clean, however, it appears it was cleaned a while ago, probably the last time somebody occupied it, which was likely some time ago before we checked in.

    (+) Location: Position is everything! Right in front of river, in a quiet neighbourhood, yet just 5min walk from the center of Karlstad. We could stroll around the river, enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the area, which greatly accelerated our experience in the city. (+) View: We had a room facing the south. We could have upgraded to a room claiming ’river view’, a room facing the north. Yet, there is a smaller branch river on the southwest side, occupying most of the view of our south-facing window. So regardless of room choice, you get a river view, either the larger one or the smaller one. (+) Staff: The personnel was very accomodating and helpful, both during the check in/out and during breakfast. (+) Simplicity: The breakfast was simple, compact, yet with satisfactory variety of bread, waffles, cereals, and other sweet/salty choices. There is a coffee/tea corner at the reception available to hotel guests, since there is no water boiler in the room. Quite a different concept than other hotels, but not unpleasant.

    As mentioned: the beds were really small and extremely soft.

    We were exhibitors at the CCC on Feb 17-18, so the "Hotel River C" was just perfect. Literally next door. The room was small but functional and very okay. The beds were too soft and very small, but we were super tired after a day's of fair, so no big issue ;-) The staff was smiling and helpful. And ideal to go to the center by foot, for a supper or after-work drink.
