3-Star Hotels in Varmland, Sweden

The location of this hotel is good, quite in the center and close to the gallery of Lars Lerins (Sandgrund). It is always good when the staff is certain about which location is best to park in, I would urge the hotel administration to get a deal with on of the parking companies nearby. The interior of the hotel could be nicer, both when it comes to furnishing and painting of the wall (loose skirting board should be attached). Karlstad is the home of the Swedish roastery 'Löfbergs Lila', that should be celebrated when breakfast is served. The hotel has nice staff, cleanliness was good, elevator in place.

Every staff I met was supwer helpful and friendly. Excellent breakfast, great amount and variety. Kettle and tea/coffee in the room (did not use as there was a real coffee machine by the reception) Spa and jacuzzi were great. We missed the swimming pool as it was outdoor and not heated. However, that did not stop us from taking a quick dip ;-) We enjoyed our stay !

A great spa hotel in beautiful surroundings. Great pools, indoors and outdoors. Excellent service! All staff were very friendly and attentive. The dinner was good, but the burgers somewhst boring. The salmon, however, was excellent and the poke bowl very good. The breakfast was the downside and the reason for us giving 4 and not 5. It was ok, but nothing more, and there were long lines at 9 am.

The Clarion Collection Hotel Bristol was centrally located in the heart of Arvika, within walking distance of the city's shops and restaurants. The guest room was clean but simply furnished and consisted of an armchair, work table and chair and beds. There was no minibar, kettle or air conditioning in the room. The TV in the room was small and looked like something old-fashioned. There was some noise from the street. The cleanliness seemed to be good. The bathroom had underfloor heating but was simply decorated. A loose soap bottle from the soap dispenser lay on the sink and gave a somewhat bad first impression. There were no free toiletries. The hotel's common area appeared to be somewhat worn and the hotel could with advantage have been renovated. There was free wireless internet throughout the hotel, but we found the speed of the network to be somewhat variable. The hotel had a bar and restaurant. Free supper was served to hotel guests. The meal consisted of a hot dish and a salad buffet. The food appeared to be somewhat boring, but was still experienced as a positive gesture. The hotel's breakfast was served as a buffet with a selection of both hot and cold dishes. However, the selection could have been a bit better and I missed several local and homemade products. The breakfast room appeared small and there were quick queues in the buffet area. The staff seemed uninvolved and I missed more enthusiasm and interest in the guests.
