Hotel berhampiran Ölandsbron, Kalmar

We were recommended this hotel by a friend who lives in Kalmar and so we had high hopes for a nice stay. We had tried to book a room in the main hotel but unfortunately, it was booked out, so we opted for their budget accommodation in a building across the road. The photos looked nice. the main building was quite beautiful and we were greeted at reception with smiles and enthusiasm. Ebba, one of the staff gave us a brief and interesting history of the building and its original owners, so we felt like we were off to a good start. Our room was neat at first glance but noticed that it was sparsely decorated and had no bedside tables, which we thought was a little odd. The bed seemed nice and comfortable which made us happy. After returning from dinner that evening we found a number of issues in the bathroom that seemed un-exceptable. The shower was extremely basic. The shower curtain was old, there was soap build up on the shower window and door, the shower soap was empty, the basin was loose and the glass shelf above it was also loose and rested on on angle. You had to put the glasses to the back of the shelf to prevent them from sliding off. We also found nuts of some kind on the floor under one of the chairs. What came next was greatly disappointing. Upon pulling back the doona on the bed we saw 3 silverfish skuttle across the sheet. Although we had a laugh, it was certainly not what we expected. Aside from that, we slept ok and the next morning we very much enjoyed the breakfast they had on offer. It was all very fresh and all very tasty. I went to reception as a coutesy to let them know the issues we had experienced and although the young girl wrote down what I told her explaining she would let management know, we were not offered an apology. That surprised me considering we are both seasoned travellers and have come to expect better. So when we arrived home I wrote a polite email to the manager detailing our stay and that although we recognise that sometimes cleaners etc can overlook things and just wanted to let them know of our disappointment. We received no reply. So I wrote to their facebook page and inquired if we would get a reply regarding our email. The post was read but again we received no reply. Sorry , but for an establishment that seems to have most of the boxes ticked in a stunning setting and friendly helpful staff, you do not win any points for your inability to show respect to a customer who thought bringing these issues to your attention would help. Someone needs to pull their socks up.

Best Western Frimurarhotellet is located at the heart of Kalmar, and a 2-minute walk from the train station. The hotel is in a listed building from early 1800, which gives it a nice historic atmosphere and there is a nice restaurant and bar at the hotel, unless you want to explore something else in town which all is moments away. The rooms are period featured and basic but nice and big with high ceilings. Breakfast is great and there is a partnership with the local gym for exercise. If you want to explore Öland, then buses run from the station and they take you there in 20 minutes. A nice local hotel.

Nettes Hotel, sehr gutes P-L-Verhältnis. Viele jüngere Menschen. Liegt sehr zentral und verkehrsgünstig, Parkn ist ein bisschen blöd, klappt aber auch, Zimmer zur Durchgangsstraße war etwas laut, auch wenn morgens der Liefer-LKW fürs Restaurant kommt ist es je nach Zimmer-Lage etwas laut. Aber das passt schon.

Many of my travels has been ruined by the hotel staff, Best Western Kalmar, has made my stay just perfect. I stay at Best Western Kalmar, when the business takes me there, so far 9 nights. Advise to take the Junior Suite, spacy with a good bed and nice chairs to sit in while watching TV or work or just relax. Hungry? try the restaurant, the food is real tasty.

The hotel is conveniently located near to the bus and train station. Although it was only an overnight stay, the hotel surpassed our expectations. Our room was spacious and bright. Well equipped with Netflix enabled TV and kettle. Large very comfortable bed and an equally spacious bathroom with large powerful shower and quality toiletries. Room cost includes afternoon tea, buffet dinner as well as breakfast and represented excellent value. We didn’t sample afternoon tea but had dinner in the hotel. Two courses are provided, soup and a main meal, in this case a chorizo stew with salad and vegetables. We asked for a vegetarian option and they kindly cooked substantial falafel course. Meal includes coffee and water. Desserts and alcoholic drinks can be purchased at extra cost. Breakfast the following morning had a good range of food similar to other hotels we experienced in Sweden and was perfectly fine. It was a sunny morning and we were able to dine outside on a balcony overlooking the harbour. Staff all very pleasant and they provide storage facilities for luggage if required. For the price it represented excellent value for money.

位置在古城中心，緊挨着大教堂。早餐豐盛，廚師時常會出來巡視查看餐品，服務員都很nice。房間也是乾淨整潔，客房打掃會常幫忙換床單。房間設施也很全，還有啞鈴。但是酒店床實在是太軟了，不太適合我們，睡的腰疼。但還是非常喜歡這個酒店，如果再去，我還是會選擇這家酒店的。

Great located in Kalmar centre, with pedestrian street and many restaurants within walking distance. Good and large breakfast buffet, and very helpful and service oriented staff at the reception. There were no available parking in the hotel garage, but easy to find public parking lots very close to the hotel, and at resonable price - in fact cheaper than the hotel garage.

A nice hotel but nothing exceptional. The restaurant is okay if you're hungry and just want to eat but not a place to enjoy a meal. The bar isn't a bar, they just have bottles in a fridge with ”drinks”, don't take the mojito, it doesn't taste like a mojito. The staff is friendly and the rooms are nice but the toilet smells like it hasn't been flushed in a while.
