Hotell Marieberg

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.

Was super easy to check in at 1am (should have been midnight but that’s a whole other story). If you have a late check in make sure you email in advance to them. Pleasing email reply as well as a text to give me the code to come in so I could get my key. Slept through breakfast so cannot comment on that. Staff were ok. Very very limited car parking spaces, I had to park in a disabled bay and put a note apologising, with the hope nobody would need it between 1am and 9am. Lovely residential area but very easy to find. Very convenient for travelling between Karlstad and Strängnäs. Tack för en trevlig natt i Hotell Marieberg. Jag sov så gott och hade inget problem med incheckningen eller rummet. Vi ses igen kanske.

Looking for a nice surprise. The room was clean. Breakfast buffet was inviting with multiple choices available. Great find, would return again.
