Arvika Hotels

Good Kitchen. Not 4 stars, but 3.

Very good food and restaurant staff were very polite and helpful. Breakfast selection was also good and served from 6 a.m. which is very useful.

Nice and clean, good for staying overnight. Comfortable hall at the dependance building, good breakfast Very small room (table of the size of my laptop!)

Booking was as planned - a room with bath and kitchen nearby. Central location was convenient. Free on-site parking. Proprietor was helpful. Kitchen was not well-stocked (hardly anything to cook with and no staple food items). Noise during the night was intolerable: cars full of young men roaring by and blasting music -- and not stopped by police. Impossible to sleep; it felt like they were right in the bedroom, even with earplugs. A place only for very sound sleepers and not a once-in-a-while experience, as it's apparently part of the culture of the town. Smell of cleaning materials throughout: disinfectant and perfumed detergent used on sheets and towels -- so those with environmental sensitivities will not like it.
