This is a 3*, so the rooms are a bit... boring? Not fancy? But they have everything you might need, designed cleverly for comfort and function. Got a room with beautiful view on the river. There is no gym but I was informed that there is a partnership with gym close by. And the pinnacle was the friendly staff, reception that has tea/coffee for you during the whole day and very good breakfast. Would love to come back in future!

The hotel was everything we wanted and more. The room was clean and spacious, with comfortable beds. The bathroom was sparkling clean and had all the necessary amenities. The view of the river and the old city of Karlstad from the room was amazing. There's a large parking lot in front of the hotel with free parking for the guests. The swimming pool and the saunas are in a great condition and really nice to visit after a long day. The breakfast is great - there's plenty of choices for food, all delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Totally can recommend to stay!

We travelled with a large family and this place exceeded all our expectations. The cabin we booked was very nice, the communication with the staff very seamless. Value for money very good. Nice lake nearby where you can take a walk and swim. The place had plenty of attractions for the kids - playground, a very big jumping arena, adventure track etc.

Great Location, great view of the lake, lots of trees to provide shade. The pizzeria at the camping ground is great value. It's close to a huge supermarket that has anything you could need. Well equipped kitchen in the bungalow. Big terrace which is partially covered with a roof. Very friendly staff.

The ladies at the reception were super nice. We got a cabin right in front of the lake so the view was wonderful. The service house with toilets and showers was CLEAN all the time. We tried different camapsites in the area and this was the best and the cleanest. Beds are very comfy!

The L2 apartment is absolutely amazing and takes you back in time with a kind of “royal” feel in terms deco and space. If this was categorized as a hotel room, it would be a luxury suite.

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.

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.

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.
