What guests think
Reviews of Hotell Carl Friman describe a cozy, small hotel with very friendly staff, comfortable beds, and a good breakfast, plus a quiet, convenient location near the center and appreciated free parking for an easy, low-stress stay.
However, several guests report inconsistent housekeeping, thin walls, and ventilation or temperature issues, and a few experienced after-hours entry codes or limited reception staffing. The building has no elevator, and a couple of rooms feature in-room saunas. Expect a cozy, characterful stay close to town, with strengths in service and breakfast.
