Nice hotel. Dinner was fine but not so impressed by breakfast. Would have preferred a smaller choice in breakfast menu with a higher bread quality.

Easy to find. Nice location. Easy parking. Rooms are small but it it's a historic building. We were offered a good upgrade. They serve a free buffet in the evening of good local food.

An excellent hotel. Close to everything. Staff was very accommodating. Rooms are comfortable and very quiet. This building used to be a prison, and they have kept the prison motif. Very historic. Breakfast buffet was ok. Not a huge selection, but adequate, and food was prepared nicely. I would stay again and would recommend this property.

It's an old prison and quite quirky. The standard rooms are small and on thr top floor a bit warm in summer, but there is a fan provided. The ropms and general hotel are of high quality.

Great place to stay in Karlstad

I was a little dubious when I found out the hotel was a farmer prison, but the entire hotel was pleasant and clean. After staying in Stockholm with a tiny room, I was delighted to find the room not only large and comfortable but full of light. The free dinner buffet was great and there was plenty of food. The staff was friendly and helpful. If I go back to Karlstad, I will definitely stay here again.

Interesting place in a former prison. Your room includes breakfast and a dinner buffet which was delicious. The staff was very kind. Good location near shops and restaurants in central plaza.

Nice hotel except for a blip at check in.

Staying in a converted prison is interesting. The location is near the city and parking was free outside the prison walls. I was initially not allowed to check in early even though there were a room available... was first told there were no rooms and later told I had to pay to check in early. It was only after we told them that we had just checked out of another Clarion Collection hotel that they relented. I felt they were a little dishonest and unhelpful at check in. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay. I appreciated the dinners provided at the end of the day...

Fint och fräscht hotell.

Rent rum, underbar personal, bra frukost. Gratis parkering är mycket bra. Att middag ingår är helt fantastiskt. Det enda jag tyckte var mindre bra var att jag hade rum ut mot parkeringen och det var ett fruktansvärt oväsen både fredag och lördag kväll. Epadunk och skrikande ungdomar, i timmar. Det var lite jobbigt då jag skulle upp tidigt båda dagarna.
