Skattkärr Vacation Rentals

"My room was elegant, clean, and spacious. The staff were friendly. Excellent breakfasts and dinners. Right across the street from the train station."

"Great Property and staff"

"Absolutely ok room, comfortable bed. Boring view of a hotel wing. Dirty worn bathroom, really nice breakfast, lovely view of the river"

"Beautiful hotel with the best staff "

"Vi kände oss välkommen så fort vi kom. Stationen låg nära. Hamnen låg nära. Många trevliga restauranger. Och Lars Lerins konsthall är ju bara ett måste."

"I have stayed in this property before and like the area. You are in a nice residential neighborhood with a short walk to the lake and path, 45 min. roundtrip. Very relaxing. The food is the standard Scandinavian breakfast. There are a few options for lunch and dinner within walking distance but the other options are in Kristinehamn 5-11 minutes away. The room had a small refrigerator so one could buy food at ICA Maxi like a bread roll and deli-meat, roasted chicken…etc. The restaurant scene is not that vibrant, mostly pizza/kebab restaurants. Like many smaller hotels in Sweden reception hours are short and service is not available during most hours. Especially if you travel off season like me; late April through May where I was one of 5 guest at this hotel during my stay. Recommend you do not show up earlier that the 3 pm checkin time as now one is there. I got there at 2 pm and took a nice walk by the shore and returned at 3 pm for checkin. Also I had one hotel on this trip that had a no checkin beyond 7 pm policy. My reason for coming to this area is my family’s grave at Kristinehamns Nya Kyrkogård about 6 minutes by car from this hotel."

"expensive when compared to other competetive hotels near by same price"

"We spent three nights here. The hotel is wonderful. Staff, breakfast and service was excellent. We will certainly stay here the next time we come to Karlstad. Also interesting history of the former prison and well designed museum. Highly recommended!"

"Expensive for what it was, strange area in distant location from the train station. Nice people working the front desk, but compared to other hostels it seems strange to make someone pay for their sheets and towels. "
