I needed to stay one night in Mariestad and this hotel was booked on the day, via their website. For the size of the room and the fact that the hotel was probably nearly empty due to the COVID19 situation, the room was perhaps a little expensive, but this was a good stay overall. One could book directly via their own site, with no prepayment required. ||||I was arriving late from Malmö, and the reception would be closed by the time I arrived. However, the receptionist Emma left me detailed instructions over SMS on how to collect the key and getting to my room was no problem. There is 4 (or 5 depending how nicely people park) parks off a side street to the hotel. Location is very central. ||||The room was tiny, but functional. Single bed with a handy plug beside the bed (although a bedside cabinet/shelf above would have been helpful). The view outside was directly into another wall. Bathroom was cramped, but shower pressure was good. The toilet is very near the sink, so I was afraid of knocking/dropping toiletries into the bowl. Nice touches include a stocked minibar fridge with semi-reasonable prices (for being a minibar) and they even offered Ramlösa bubble water for free. ||||Despite the low occupancy and Carona, the breakfast buffet was passable. I can imagine that it would be even better in normal times. Receptionist was friendly on checkout. ||||I would stay here again, although perhaps in a bigger room.
