- From $104.48 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.7Good - What previous guests thought, 1,196 reviewsGreat location, just next to the river. Personnel was super helpful and kind. We booked a room with our dog and baby. Hotel provided bed and water bowl for dog, as well some treats and poop bag. For baby we got crib. Really baby and dog friendly hotel and personnel. Great communication with hotel before hand. Maybe not mentioned, but hotel has gym, saunas and small swimming pool - great to relax after busy day. Room has extra towels and pillows if needed. Great options of food for breakfast. Hotel is cca 20min walk from city center. There were also bicycles to rent, but we did not need that.Guest review byNikola JohnnySweden
- From $62.64 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 422 reviewsI booked one night in a cabin to extend our stay in Karlstad – to be honest I wish I had booked this place for all the three days we were there. The cabin was surprisingly large, immaculately clean, well equipped and the kids loved having their own rooms. It was the clear winner of all the places we stayed on this trip, and the coastline within a couple of minutes' walk is lovely with several wild swimming locations. The large terrace with table and chairs was super, too.Guest review byMaiklsLatvia

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.Guest review byHelenaUnited Kingdom - 10.0

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.Guest review byAnonymousAustralia - 8.0

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.Guest review byGeoffreySweden
