    I like the restaurant and the roof top. Also, I like the size of the room, which was big enough for 2 people. The breakfast was amazing and the view over the river was really nice. The location was very good.

    Breakfast was excellent quality with many choices. This is an elegant historic property in a great central location in Karlstad. The staff at the front desk was especially lovely. My husband came down with a cold and they took time to look up...
