Dog-friendly accommodations
Staying in a hotel should feel comfortable and lovely. In Karlstad, there are plenty of accommodations that deliver just that and are perfect for you as a dog owner. If you are attracted by staying in the center of the city and feeling the pulse, choose between staying at Good Morning Karlstad City, Clarion Collection Hotel Drott which is located right by the central station or in the old police houses at Scandic Karlstad City.
Only a 10-minute walk from the center you will find Hotel Scandic Klarälven with easy access to the E18. Here you get a scenic environment around the corner and a fantastic view of the Klarälven river with the city center in the background. Best Western Gustaf Fröding Hotell & Konferens, which is one of Värmland's largest hotel and conference facilities, is also an option. During the summer, the hotel is transformed into a summer paradise with a heated outdoor pool, pool bar, children's play area and outdoor activities.
