Elite Stadshotellet Karlstad

Very nice hotel with enough parking options nearby, there is no parking from the hotel itself so it could happen that you will have to walk a slightly bit further but it's not far at all. Upon entering the hotel we got greeted in a friendly way and we got checked in very soon. The reception desk is on the right hand side of the enterance where the brealfast hall is on the left hand side. We had a room on the second floor with a view over the street on the enterance side. The room was slightly small but was very nice, despite being on the street side we didn't experiance any hinder of the possible noice from the street. The room was clean and the beds were nice. The breakfast was very nice and a wide choise of options including lactose and glutes free. The hotel is nicely located close to the city centre and next to the river

Brilliant place! We got the new rooms room number >=1000 and we got nothing to comment on. And the Bishops arms pub down stairs is really good! Well worth a visit.

Our one-night stay at Elite Stadshotellet Karlstad was an unexpectedly lovely experience. We booked a deluxe double room with a view of the river, and it immediately set the tone for a relaxed stopover between cities. The hotel itself has a charming, old-world elegance with modern touches that make it feel both historic and comfortable. The lobby and common areas are beautifully maintained, and check-in was quick and efficient after a short and easy walk from the train station.nnThe room struck a perfect balance between cozy and spacious. The view of the river, framed by the hotel’s large windows, added a peaceful, scenic backdrop that we weren’t necessarily expecting from a quick stop in Karlstad. Everything was spotless, and the bed was genuinely comfortable — a nice surprise after several nights of travel.nnLocation-wise, the hotel is ideally situated. Within minutes, you can stroll along the riverside, explore the nearby Sandgrund Lars Lerin Art Gallery, or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Karlstad’s town center. Even though we were only here for a single night, it left a strong impression. If we were passing through again, I’d absolutely stay here. It’s a gem of a stopover hotel that delivers far more charm than you might expect.

Lousy service, mediocre room. Upon arrival 21:40 I ask the receptionist when the restaurant closes. At 23:00 he states. Except as I present myself at 21:59 I'm told the kitchen closed and I cant be served. So the BAR closes at 23:00. I even chose the hotel for the convenience of inhouse restaurant. And don't expect a decent apology from the arrogant daft. Also if you like a room where the bedlamp has no socket and hence can't be used. If you like to have only swedish language TV channels even Sky News No Programme Available. And if you like to have a room with no windows, or rather in fact there are windows except there's only a concrete wall visible from the window. Oh, and if you like a room where the water heater and coffee is stashed away at the bottom of the closet making it a project to have a cup.... Then this hotel is an excellent choice. Not in the least commendable.

Despite not being a paying customer, I received excellent reception and service, permitting me a temporary stay in the middle of the night. If this is the service for a visitor like me, you can imagine how it would be for those with actual rooms.
