The reception was very friendly and check-in went smoothly.
The room was large enough and well equipped.
The breakfast was really good, there was a lot of choice.

Värmland var trevligt. En överraskning i toaletten någon slängde en binda från sophinken (städarna)? Receptionen väldigt bra och trevlig. Frukosten perfekt ingenting saknades.

Mycket trevligt hotell!
Fräscht, lagom promenad längs Klarälven in till restauranger, lugnt och tyst när du kommer tillbaka och vill sova, fantastisk utsikt över älven!

Tacksamt leende
Vacker placering vid Klarälven, i lugnt område av staden. Ett litet hotell med personlig karaktär. Blev uppgraderat till ett större rum vilket jag tackar för, Rummet var litet slitet vilket märktes fämst på skrivbordet som borde åtgärdas via ytbehandling. Skön säng, härlig dusch/toalettrum. Frukosten bra men skulle gärna ha önskat något varmt, t.ex. äggröra och bacon/prinskorv. Men mätt blev jag och lämnade hotellet med ett tacksamt leende på läpparna. .

Fint hotell - kan anbefales
Kort vei til sentrum, fin og relativt billig parkering. Fin service, lite hotell, helt grei frokost og fine rom. Hyggelig betjening. Fine turmuligheter.

Sentralt og fint hotell
Supert . Hyggelig betjening og fine rom . Denne gangen fikk vi dobbelseng😀. Bodde her for snart 10 år siden på vår første kjærlighetstur og da fikk vi enkeltsenger , nedtur 😂😂😂. Den gang var det restaurant på hotelle noe som var et stort pluss . Nå gikk vi noen hundre meter for å komme til restauranter , så ikke noe problem 😀
