- From US$106.29 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.7Good - What previous guests thought, 1,195 reviewsHonestly, I didn't expect much from the dated and unremarkable exterior, but we quickly found that you can't judge a book by its cover: This is one of the best mid-priced hotels I've stayed in. The stylish, cozy interior, plentiful amenities, delicious breakfast, special accommodations for pets and children, and beautiful Klarälven setting of this Scandic places it among the top-tier. In my experience, this hotel is superior to some of the fancier ones in the center of the city. On thing that really sets Scandic hotels apart, generally, is the breakfast: we very much appreciated the fresh-cut fruit and melons, diverse yogurt selection, Swedish pancakes, and classic (but unusual) things like nyponsoppa. Another is the fabulous family-rooms (with fold-down children's bunkbeds). And the thoughtful accommodation for pets, complete with a bed, bowl, and even treats. Scandic gets it for families on the road!Guest review byGeoffreySweden
- From US$125.96 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.0Good - What previous guests thought, 907 reviewsThe hotel was perfect. I especially enjoyed the location. Set back from the road so that there was no noise, next to a forest, where you could walk and the lake was about 200m away walking through the forest. Nearby was an Italian restaurant, a little pricey, but I ate there twice, the pasta was among the best Italian I've ever had. The town itself is delightful.Guest review byErnstAustralia
- From US$62.58 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 423 reviewsWe 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.Guest review byTanelEstonia

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
