The township is quiet and calm generally..JA Hotel is located in the middle of a commercial street. It provides the convenience and accessibility to major retail outlets, and at the same time the privacy of space you look for in a hotel. Conveniently located if you wish to go a little further to the beach or the naval museum..or island hopping around this archipelago..

Central location is the key!

Slightly cramped room but quiet despite being on the shopping street side. Otherwise compact. Quite good breakfast but nothing fancy, scandinavian though. Best this is the location as hotel is in the middle of the center, walking distance of all major attractions. Bed felt bit soft. Parking in the downstairs public parking house w straight accces to hotel.

Centralt hotell mitt i stan.

Fin frukost, trevlig personal. Fina rum. Dock var det väldigt varmt på rummet, trots ac. Sängarna gick att ändra från mjuka till fasta med en fjärrkontroll. Gratis parkering på gatorna på kvällar och nätter fram till kl 09.00.

Njae inte igen

Bokade två vanliga standard dubbelrum för två vuxna i ett rum, en vuxen plus barn i ett rum. Fick två små rum, varma som ett kokskåp, ingen inställningsbar AC. När man bokar med barn borde det vara mer rymligt fick inte plats med vagn. Fick byta ett rum med uppgradering för barn och vuxen. Fick be om tömning av papperskorgar. Man har blöjbarn och det blir fullt efter 3 dagar. Kuddarna skulle vara fluffiga. Det var hopknölade bommulsbollar i dem och vi fick nackspärr de luxe. Nej vi hoppar över detta hotell framöver. Vi är i Karlskrona minst en gång per år. Lite skärpning av hotellet tack. Och frukost vid receptionen med alla väskor och utcheckningar ger ingen mysig morgonstund. Bara rörigt.

Vi havde et dejligt 2-dages ophold med vores to hunde. Venlige og imødekommende personaler. Super morgenmad. Meget centralt og alligevel stille. OBS hvis man har brug for elevator, skal man sige det da den ikke stopper på alle etager - mange niveauer.

Clean hotel, great location, big rooms, and nice staff. But I wouldn’t call it a 4 star hotel. It’s a great 2-3 star hotel. There was no refrigerator or safety box in the rooms.
