the oppertuniry of offering bicycles to their guests (free of charge - very important note) is big win! park the car in their garage and you’re a bikes distance to sny where within the city center. that was a deal breaker for me during my stay at least.

The property is in the perfect location when staying in Sweden's sunny city! We stayed in the double room with lake view. The room was beautifully decorated, clean and had a luxurious feel to it. The view of the river Klarälven was stunning. The buffet breakfast was delicious and there were many options to choose from! It is central and close to most of the attractions in Karlstad! I highly recommend this hotel.

    Honestly, 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!

    We spent 3 nights at Upperud 9:9 as a family and had a fantastic experience. The location is exceptional - right by the lake, calm and atmospheric. The accommodation is comfortable and full of character. Breakfast was good, and the dinner was truly excellent. The staff were attentive and kindly accommodated our special requests, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommended for a relaxing and memorable stay

    The 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.

    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.

    The hotel staff were very helpful when we asked if we could leave bags at lunchtime on the day of our arrival and even did a room switch to let us put things into our room. The room was comfortable and was a good size, with views over to the lake. There was a good selection of food for breakfast.

    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.

    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.
