Top 10 Kalmar hotels and places to stay

Hotel Skansen

4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1007)
"När vi skulle checka in hamnade vi i en läng kö i entrétrappen. Det visade sig vara kön till restaurangen. Hade varit bra att tydliggöra att incheckningen låg längre in och där var ingen kö. Hotellet och restaurangen var helt ok men rummet hade behövt lite uppfräschning. Stolarna inne i frukostmatsalen var slitna och hade med fördel kunnat rengöras högst upp på ryggstödet. Gav ett smutsigt intryck. Frukosten var jättebra och har egentligen inget att klaga på."
