A fantastic place to stay- great rooms and really helpful staff. Great walking down to the lake for a swim and up to the castle and the walled kitchen garden that supplied the restaurant. The two meals we had in the restaurant were superb. Thank you.

We were driving late and decided to stop spontaneously at this hotel — everything went very smoothly! We called the hotel at 11 PM to ask if it was possible to book a room and check in around midnight. We made the booking through Booking.com, and by the time we arrived, everything was ready for us. A very friendly and helpful lady welcomed us and checked us in quickly. We had our dog with us (20 euros per night), and usually, pet-friendly rooms are not as nice as regular ones — but this time we were pleasantly surprised! The room was spacious, very clean, and well-organized. And the best part — something we’ve never seen before — the hotel had prepared a dog bed, a bowl, treats, and even a poop bag! It was such a thoughtful touch — both we and our dog were really happy. The room was simple but nicely arranged, with a clean and minimalist design. We really liked it. Breakfast was also excellent — one of the best we've had in hotels! Another great bonus: there's a large parking area right across from the hotel entrance, and it's three times cheaper than the hotel’s own parking. You can also stop for 15 minutes right in front of the entrance, which is very convenient when traveling with kids and luggage.

Great breakfast and we liked the style of the place. Staff were really friendly. A great base to have a day's hike in the nearby Ecopark. Sadly for us we didn't see any live elk, but we had a nice time anyway.

Great accomodation, very reccomended. Arrived by car : there is a private garage in front of the Hotel with a specific tariff for hotel guests; there is also a public open-air parking in the nearby which is cheaper (I used EasyPark app to pay). Perfect room and private bathroom. Great buffet at breakfast, and also the dinner (included in the room price) was great.

    The Lars Lerin art gallery has beautiful paintings of Swedish landscapes by him. Boat trips from Innre Hamn (Inner Harbour) take you on trips out to islands and around town on the river for the price of a bus fare. Only in the summer months though. Walk along the river for beautiful views, see the old church, town hall etc. Plenty of cafes and restaurants especially around the town square. Have a coffee on the Stadshotell roof terrace with lovely views across the river.

    Kristinehamn has an interesting history going back to the mid 1500ers. So a meander around the historic centre of town is recommended. Defo a visit to Picasso's Sculpture! 👍 👍 and Kristinehamn Konstmuseum 👍. We only stayed 2 nights. Plenty more to do if you're in to nature, like boattrips, canoeing, nature walks. For those with interest for more historic facts I'm sure the History museum, Kristinehamn Historiska is worth a visit.

    Nice little town, much more pleasant when the weather is good. It has a fair amount of facilities such as choice of food shops: Ica, Hemkop and maybe a few more. There are cafe's and restaurants, one of the favourites are Kanyans Thai restaurant and cafe. They do serve nice cakes and buns with coffee etc. It is pretty stress free driving in the area and some hidden gems in the countryside: forest area and around the beaches of Varnern: Vita Sannar. The lake Orsjon is very tranquil and pleasant for children and families alike.

    Second visit to Karlstad and both times have been too short. There is a lot to see, especially around the cultural area, including the Värmlands Museum and Sandgrund Lars Lerin. And pleasant strolls along the river and canals.

    Karlstad is the biggest little city in Sweden and a joy to visit. What other city with <100,000 population even has its own opera house and cathedral? The lakeside setting where Klarälven meets Lake Vänern is gorgeous. There's lots to see and do within the city, even as it is very human-sized and walkable.
