Ideal stay

Lovely hotel, modern room, great breakfast. No negatives.

Sean, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was at a nice location, parking was easy to access with a 250 sek fee. We had a dog friendly room and was welcomed with dog treats and bowls which was super nice! We also got to bring our dog along to the outdoor seating for breakfast. One thing I wish could've been better is the condition of the room. The bathroom didn't have windows which was a bit dark, the walls and doors were also a bit worn down. The bathtub definitely needed some repair on the corner. Overall it was still a good experience.

Fantastiskt läge vid Klarälven med tillhörande uppvärmd pool på taket gör detta hotell till något man gärna återvänder till.

Sisäänkirjautumisessa koimme outoa yliolkaisuutta ja -mielisyyttä, mutta muuten hotelli on oikein hyvä ja sen sinainti on täydellinen.

Prima historisch stadshotel

Historisch stadshotel in het centrum, uitstekend ontbijt, fraai dakterras met uitzicht en een klein verwarmd zwembad. Vriendelijk personeel, behalve in restaurant the Bishops Arms: geen aandacht voor de gasten, lange wachttijden. Badkamer is klein.
