Nice good value hotel

Nice hotel. Dinner was fine but not so impressed by breakfast. Would have preferred a smaller choice in breakfast menu with a higher bread quality.

An excellent hotel. Close to everything. Staff was very accommodating. Rooms are comfortable and very quiet. This building used to be a prison, and they have kept the prison motif. Very historic. Breakfast buffet was ok. Not a huge selection, but adequate, and food was prepared nicely. I would stay again and would recommend this property.

It's an old prison and quite quirky. The standard rooms are small and on thr top floor a bit warm in summer, but there is a fan provided. The ropms and general hotel are of high quality.

Great place to stay in Karlstad

I was a little dubious when I found out the hotel was a farmer prison, but the entire hotel was pleasant and clean. After staying in Stockholm with a tiny room, I was delighted to find the room not only large and comfortable but full of light. The free dinner buffet was great and there was plenty of food. The staff was friendly and helpful. If I go back to Karlstad, I will definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel except for a blip at check in.

Staying in a converted prison is interesting. The location is near the city and parking was free outside the prison walls. I was initially not allowed to check in early even though there were a room available... was first told there were no rooms and later told I had to pay to check in early. It was only after we told them that we had just checked out of another Clarion Collection hotel that they relented. I felt they were a little dishonest and unhelpful at check in. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay. I appreciated the dinners provided at the end of the day...

Quality compact hotel in a small Swedish city

Karlstad isn't Stockholm, so you won't have the glam or the high prices here. This is our second time in Karlstad and we liked the Bilan very much. Room is small but well designed. Hotel is quiet, bed very comfortable. Windows open and are a very nice feature of the room. Breakfast is very good, and so was the evening meal (a surprise!). There are some nice seating areas at the lobby level with sunny vistas and coffee and snacks. The compact gym is smartly put together and everything in the hotel is painted fresh white. Staff are professional and helpful.
