Hotell Aqva is in downtown Mariestad and very convenient for walking to everywhere locally. Mariestad is a pretty town on the lake, and the surrounding countryside is beautiful.. The Hotell itself is small, and the stairs are winding and steep, no elevator. We could not get suitcases up the stairs, so had to transport clothing for the next day in paper bags. :) The room is tiny, with the smallest bathroom I've seen in my Sweden trips. However, the positive is that the managers/staff are very friendly, kind, and helpful; breakfast was very good; and the place is clean and nicely decorated.
