Very good

Liked: Unrated hotel. Great value for the money and very central location.

Exceptional

Liked: The hotel is located on a busy street in the center of Karlstad, the train station is a 7-minute walk, shops, cafes, and restaurants are nearby, close to the park and museum. The rooms are neat, the room has everything for convenience. Yes, the shower and toilet are small and you need to get used to using them correctly, but this does not cause much inconvenience. The main thing is that the shower and toilet are clean and everything works well. The hotel has a pleasant common area for breakfast and lunch; free coffee, tea, and cookies. Since the hotel was not packed to capacity, the administrator even allowed to look at a couple of rooms on different sides and choose the one I liked (on one side the rooms overlook a busy street, on the other there is a view of the roof of a neighboring building).

Exceptional

Pleasant

Liked: The location was excellent, along with the general upkeep of the rooms. The staff (when they were visible) were also friendly and very helpful. The facilities were a bit basic, but apart from the broken shower knob was good, especially considering the price.
Disliked: The temperature knob in the shower was broken, resulting in a very hot shower that wasn't very satisfactory.The arrangement with checking in and so forth was also a bit strange. But it worked out alright in the end.

A no-frills but good budget...

Liked: The hotel was quite central ( above a store in the central pedestrian zone) but tricky to find since the signage was not obvious. Access was up a flight of stairs, then a welcome elevator. Room was basic, but comfortable with fresh air, good heating and Wifi and a good shower. Continental breakfast was also basic but adequate and coffee, tea, biscuits and apples were freely available at any time from the Reception area. Staff were friendly and helpful and kindly allowed a late checkout due to afternoon train. Handy to supermarkets and shops. Bike hire available at Solsta Hire ( no connection to hotel) near the public library.
Disliked: Hard to find, so improve your signage please. Otherwise all fine.

Just what I needed for...

Liked: Close to train station and buses. Friendly and service-minded staff. Clean and tidy facility.
Disliked: Tiny bathroom.

Easy access to the city...
