Stayed for one night on a short stop in Karlstad. The staff was friendly and forthcoming. The room was not big but big enough. The room was also modern decorated but had a poor view (a backyard and a glimpse of Klarälven) I'll give an extra plus for the breakfast. Very nice served as a buffet and with a large... More

Stayed for a few nights in business in what is apparently supposed to be the best hotel in Karlstad. Centrally located in a nice, old building, but otherwise very basic. The standard room was very small, with no views to speak of, just barely met business standard and could definitely use an update. Basic Swedish hotel breakfast. Helpful staff. If... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights.The first night was on our way to Stockholm from Oslo when we had a very pleasant experience. The room is large, the air-conditioner is working perfect and the bath room is newly decorated with very modern design. However, on our way back to Oslo, we were given a room which is much... More

Perhaps this was once a grander hotel than it is today, but it serves very well if you find yourself in this region of Sweden. Easy to locate, close to a park and lake, the hotel has all the basic services including a free breakfast and free wireless. The rooms are not large but are comfortable and contain all the... More

Small but tastefully furnished rooms, views over Klarälven river and the city center. Great breakfast buffet. Helpful staff - we could leave our car at the hotel parking and some of our luggage in storage when we spent a night biking to Uddeholm on "Klarälvsbanan", a 90km rail trail - a must for bicycle tourists! Very competetive pricing when booking... More

This was not a good deal, SEK 1.500 for a double in something called superior room in order to get a good size bed. It was good tourist class at the very best, with a modern but very unpractical bathroom. Neither the bed nor the furniture was comfortable. Good pub with a huge selection of beers. Average food but excellent... More

We were very pleasantly surprised by Elite Stadshotellet in Karlstad. From the photos it looks quite large, but it is actually rather quaint and charming, with the feel of a much smaller boutique hotel. That started from the very moment we checked in with the extremely friendly and helpful desk staff, who recommended the best way to see the highlights... More

This is a huge hotel built, I'm sure, at least a century ago. It was a very long walk to our room which was nice but with a very small bathroom. The staff was nice, parking was difficult as their lot was full so we parked on the street, and we had a very nice breakfast. I wouldn't call this... More

Searching Tripadvisor for a stop-over hotel on the way from Stockholm to Norway, we found little in alternatives to this Hotel in Karlstad, made a reservation, and could not have been happier with our choice. Located facing a scenic riverside in the heart Karlstad with pedestrianized shopping streets around the block, the hotel is easy to locate and curbside parking... More
