This was a historical building in the middle of charming Kalmar. Our family really enjoyed our rooms and the convenience the location offered as far as being able to walk and enjoy downtown. The breakfast was delicious and offered a variety of options. The staff was very kind and helpful as well.

Nice hotel with a good breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Near the train and sits on an old town square. Just be aware that some of the nearby restaurants play load music into the early morning.

Great location for bus and trains. Staff are excellent and we received a friendly response from Lisa when we checked in. She was informative and helpful. Evening meal was delicious and presented very well. We stayed 6 days and breakfast buffet was delicious and plenty of choices. Only comment was there is no decaf coffee. However this was not a big issue due to the variety of teas available - our favourite was ginger and honey black tea. The cost of the accommodation is very reasonable and I would recommend it to others. I would certainly return without hesitation.

A Diamond in the Rough!

150 year old architectural jewel of a hotel with gorgeous hard wood floors located in one of Scandinavia’s best kept secrets, Kalmar! Loved the town and one of Europe’s most picturesque castles.

Had a nice restaurant. The weather was warm and the hitel had no air conditioning. The rooms were small and the windows opened in to the room that was already small so there was no room to walk around the bed. With that said i would stay there again as we hit warm weather and the other hotels in the area look to designed the same way.

Huone oli idyllinen ja kotoisan tuntuinen. Henkilökunta mukava. Matkustin yksin koiran kanssa ja sain käydä aamiaisen huoneeseen, mikä helpotti matkustamista huomattavasti. Rakennuksen iän takia äänet kuuluvat selkeästi huoneeseen.
