Hotellet ligger bra till, centralt med gångavstånd till det mesta. Fint rum. Härlig och bra frukost! Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Rent och snyggt hotell. Negativt: Väldigt hårda sängar. Mycket låg toalettstol även för den som inte är handikappad (personalen verkade medvetna om detta). Det fanns en stol på rummet, önskvärt hade varit 2 då vi var 3 på rummet. Ingen tömde papperskorgen på de 3 dagar vi var där (men det kanske har att göra med om man vill ha städning eller inte?) Trots det negativa så rekommenderar jag hotellet!

Superbra personal, riklig och varierad frukost, bra läge. Dock var ljudnivån från gatan otroligt störande (Epa-traktorer som strögade varv efter varv med MYCKET hög musik fram mot kl 01). Så trots att vi är nöjda med hotellet har jag tyvärr svårt att se att vi vill bo här med barn igen.

Vi bodde én natt på Scandic Winn i Karlstad som et stopp på gjennomreise. Hotellet passet fint til dette og hadde greie fasiliteter for en overnatting. Et stort pluss var muligheten for parkering i parkeringshus, og den sentrale beliggenheten gjorde det enkelt å komme seg rundt. Like i nærheten lå det også en liten park med lekeapparater, noe som var perfekt for at barna kunne få ut litt energi etter en lang kjøretur. Frokosten var god, med et variert utvalg som passet både store og små. Alt i alt et praktisk og hyggelig hotell for en natt på veien, og et sted vi gjerne kunne valgt igjen.

Flott hotell og beliggenhet nær elva, perfekt for ein løpetur/sykkeltur/gåtur/etc. men som alle scandic er rommene veldig varme på natten, og dårlig med lufting, ac så lurt å ha vinduene oppe og vifter på.

4/10 Fair

Unser Zimmer war grundsätzlich ok, nichts besonderes, aber wir waren nur auf der Durchreise für eine Nacht. Zu erwähnen ist, dass es recht laut war (Autolärm vor dem Hotel und auch hellhörig im Hotel). Das Personal des Hotels ist unaufmerksam und rechtlich nicht informiert. Zum einen hatten wir ein Zimmer für drei Personen gebucht (wir reisen mit unserem Sohn) als wir sehr spät abends müde am Hotel ankamen, haben wir ein Zimmer mit zwei (!) schmalen Einzelbetten erhalten. Wir konnten dann herausfinden wie wir selbst das kleine Sofa ausklappen können und haben weitere Bettwäsche im Zimmer gefunden, so dass wenigstens jeder ein Bett hatte. Bei einem Hotel erwarte ich, dass bei einer Buchung für drei Personen auch drei Betten hergerichtet sind. Es wurde beim Auschecken auch nicht eine Frage nach unserem Aufenthalt gestellt. Desweiteren wurde beim Check-in eine vollständige Kopie meines Personalausweises angefertigt. Dies ist ein Verstoß gegen das geltende EU-Recht, welches das Vorzeigen des Ausweises, jedoch nicht die Anfertigung einer dauerhaften Kopie vorsieht. Erschreckend für eine große Kette wie Scandic! Ich habe so etwas bisher bei keinem Hotel erlebt und ich übernachte sowohl beruflich als auch privat in vielen Hotels.
