We were driving late and decided to stop spontaneously at this hotel — everything went very smoothly! We called the hotel at 11 PM to ask if it was possible to book a room and check in around midnight. We made the booking through Booking.com, and by the time we arrived, everything was ready for us. A very friendly and helpful lady welcomed us and checked us in quickly. We had our dog with us (20 euros per night), and usually, pet-friendly rooms are not as nice as regular ones — but this time we were pleasantly surprised! The room was spacious, very clean, and well-organized. And the best part — something we’ve never seen before — the hotel had prepared a dog bed, a bowl, treats, and even a poop bag! It was such a thoughtful touch — both we and our dog were really happy. The room was simple but nicely arranged, with a clean and minimalist design. We really liked it. Breakfast was also excellent — one of the best we've had in hotels! Another great bonus: there's a large parking area right across from the hotel entrance, and it's three times cheaper than the hotel’s own parking. You can also stop for 15 minutes right in front of the entrance, which is very convenient when traveling with kids and luggage.

The cozy, friendly, helpful, accommodating hotel is right in the center of the small, charming, peaceful town of Lidkoping. We were permitted to check in early, which was very convenient. Our room's large windows looked out on the very large town square. Breakfast was very good, the machine coffee better than other hotels. Complimentary hot drinks, pastries and small sandwiches are available all day. The staff was kind and helpful and we were very pleased with our stay

    From US$104.48 per night
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.7
    Good - What previous guests thought, 1,196 reviews
    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.

    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.

    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.
