Clarion Collection Hotel Plaza

The staff was very friendly, and the ambience was like a home away from home. Even the Breakfast and Dinner felt like home cooked food, cosy place to have your meals, and most importantly great coffee (free flow) to start the day. All wrapped up in a very reasonable price! Will certainly stay in this hotel again in my next visit.

Convenient location, room (superior) big enough and comfortable, breakfast varied and delicious, fikas coffee and cake delicious and a nice idea, staff pleasant and helpful.

I booked this hotel for its strategic position near the city center. I had special needs for an abundant dinner and a very early breakfast (due to a competition), and despite both were included in the price I was not expecting anything special. On the contrary, for both of these the hotel simply exceeded my expectations: the dinner was served buffet, which let me decide the quantities of food to eat (I was honestly expecting something served, that would have meant going out to eat something additional). The early breakfast felt a bit unsure when asked for at the reception (there was the possibility of a bag, which again would have meant problems in quantity/quality of food). Instead, with my big surprise they managed to open the service earlier and I got to eat a (regular) excellent breakfast.

Excellent location, lovely staff, nice common areas especially the patio, comfortable beds, good pressure for the shower, generous buffets for dinner and breakfast.

The best thing about this hotel is the location if one is arriving to /leaving Karlstad by train or bus, so nice to eat breakfast without such a rush and go across the street to get the train later on! Loved the dinner too.
