Clarion Collection® Hotel Plaza

Staying second time in this nice and cosy hotel within 4 years I appreciated the hospitality, staff, nice, clean and cosy rooms, the very good breakfast Buffet and the quiet but nearby Location to Railway Station and heart of the city. It’s a clear recommendation in case your are visiting Karlstad for private to business purposes.

A very noisy street outside so make sure you get a room on the quiet side. The reception will not inform you about this. The AC in the room was good but the wardrobe was useless. Very poor soundproof (you can hear the hallway + adjacent rooms)

The hotel is really nice. But beware! They arrange concerts in their courtyard, just below the hotel room windows. We had rooms on the second floor, facing the courtyard. Between 9 and 10:45, there was a rock concert at high volume arranged by the hotel in the courtyard. We could not sleep/rest, watch TV or even listen to music in our headphones (sic!) due to the disturbance. (My autisic son had a panic anxiety attack that we had to handle for the rest of the night) The hotel shows total disregard to the fact that their own arrangement heavily distrurbs their own guests! When we approached the front desk, they said "sorry" but no mention of any compensation. When you book this hotel, make sure to ask if there are any concerts planned and make sure to get an outward-facing room!

Stayed here with a couple of friends on a quick one night trip. The staff were really helpful and accommodating. The breakfast and dinner included in the nightly price was really impressive and they laid out a great spread. Hot tub was decent and the sauna on the roof overlooking the city was great

My wife, 2 adult children, and I stayed 1 night here while on tour in Scandinavia. My room faced the street, although there was no air conditioning, the room was quiet and comfortable. I was able to open the window to allow air to circulate. There was minimal road noise, if any. The room and bathroom was clean, the beds were comfortable. I slept well. There was wifi, but it was on the slow side but usable. There could have been a few more outlets to assist in charging electronics. The restaurant was quite good. We had dinner and breakfast it the hotel. food was tasty and served at appropriate temperature. Breakfast buffet was very good there was a wide variety of food and all of it was delicious..
