Checking in was fast and easy—staff torally prepared. It’s at the heart of an old Swedish town so parking was a couple blocks away at the public library pay lot. Inexpensive, easy and there was plenty of short term parking in front of the hotel for check in. Our stay was short.

Nostalgitripp.

På Stadshotellet i Karlstad bodde vi på folkparksturnéerna många år mellan 1977 och 1999 så det var ett kärt återseende. Nya avdelningen är mycket snygg. Tjusigt med egen balkong! Frukosten kan man skriva hem om! Varmt tack! Enda plumpen var fisken i Fish&chipsen, sej i stället för torsk eller kolja. Resten=toppen!
