- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Excellent - What previous guests thought, 736 reviewsThese were the best hosts ever! The owners, Ceclia and Jonas, truly know how to make a hotel experience personal and unique. We felt cared for and received such special service for our entire stay. We loved them! We had the most wonderful time at Håveruds Hotell. We came as guests and we left feeling like they were family and wanted to take them with us back to America. It truly was the most amazing visit during our month in Europe. There were so many ways that this is such an amazing place in Sweden to stay. First, our room with a balcony was overlooking the stunning lake. Relaxing on the deck was so restful and restorative. The chef, Cecilia, was an angel and made the best salads we have eaten with an incredible abundance of shrimp and wild garlic dressing made with local ingredients. Her dinners were carefully crafted and plated with such delicious taste. And, I especially loved her homemade pumpkin seed and sesame seed butter. (She should bottle this and sell it!) Jonas served up the most incredible abundant breakfasts. He was so kind and helpful showing us the property and assisting my mom through the grounds. And, he must have scheduled the sunshine for our entire visit:) But my favorite part was our special surprise sauna celebration. This is not to be missed with a floating sauna heated by a fireplace, right on the water so I could try jumping in! A true Swedish experience! Shestan and Phillipa were angles as well. They took care of our every need and made us feel welcome and at home. We will definitely go back to this gem and hopefully bring our family as well. We did grab a handful of brochures and have handed them out to others. Do not miss this lovely Hotell experience in the most gorgeous setting! After returning home, it shines as a highlight of our most amazing adventure! We miss you all at Haveruds!Guest review byKaren MelnychuckUnited States
- From $118.90 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.7Good - What previous guests thought, 1,195 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 $62.91 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.7Good - What previous guests thought, 423 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

Hotel is situated just beside the beatiful lake with clear water. Ambience and the view of the lake from the restaurant are very good. Breakfast and meals are good (but not many options) . We enjoyed the jacuzzi , bastu , message chair (which are booked exclusive for a family or couple). Also, we were upgraded from a standard room to a Suite with patio with covered glass and a balcony which was a real bonus. Will recommend for short & relaxing stay.Guest review byMrinalSweden - 10.0

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
