"Super practical and family friendly hotel in IKEA town Älmhult. Parking is free and safe outside. Passing through we appreciated the free to use washing facilities and the many games and activities the hotel offers. You even get free entrance to the IKEA hotel opposite, so follow the many signs to the museum, as many Sat navs will take you somewhere else.
Älmhult has excellent shopping on the outskirts of town as well.
Highly recommended as a practical stop over and of course a must if furniture...
"Found svanen no problem, beautiful area, 10 minute walk to centre, great value hotel. Couldn't find any faults. Strongly recommend this hotel, I will definitely stay here again. Fantastic value which includes quality breakfast. "
"Slightly worn wallpaper above the bed, some damaged tiles in the bathroom, no air conditioning in the room, expensive parking compared to street parking, the spa could definitely have had stricter rules regarding keeping voices low, the breakfast area floor needed a deep cleaning, the breakfast staff performed many ergonomically poor lifts, there was only one elevator and it was quite small and slow, the price for the stay was fairly high, worn and non-soundproof windows facing the square, the...
"The hotel, spa and restaurant were great. The only complaint was the standard of the room, which really could do with a revamp (especially for 300 euro a night). A better bed, unscratched floor and smart TV would be a good start. The room looked like it hadn’t had an upgrade for about fifteen years."
"The hotel was easy to find, and had plenty of parking spots.
The check-in was smooth and quick, the personnel was kind and helpful.
The room was clean, comfy and had enough outlets for nowadays needs.
All in all very good, especially for the reasonable price."
"Insgesamt ist das Hotel sehr einfach gehalten. Wenn es stimmt, dass es einmal ein Krankenhaus war, dann sind viele Dinge verständlich. Wie zB das große, aber einfache Badezimmer.
Mit vielen Accessoires wird versucht, die einfache Ausstattung zu überdecken.
Das Personal ist sehr feundlich.
Das Frühstück übersichtlich.

"Lovey grand hotel that has been nicely refitted in the central square. The outside terrace is great for drinks in the sun and the location is perfect to walk everywhere in Calmar."
"Väldigt trevlig personal! God mat i restaurangen, bra frukost! Hundvänligt till 100%! Vovven fick till och med egen skål med vatten i restaurangen! Supernöjda! "
"Trevlig personal i receptionen, stort rum för 2 vuxna och 2 barn, lite stökig frukostmiljö efter 8.30, helt okej frukost med det man behöver. Överlag väldigt nöjda!"
"The main building of the Gyllene Uttern looks like a Scandinavian castle. Perched high above Lake Vättern, it has a grand view of the lake, whether from a large terrace, one of its several lounging spaces, a glassed-in dining room, or from rooms facing the lake. It also has a baronial dining room, in which the very good breakfast buffet is laid out. We dined there in the evening, as well, and the food was excellent. We enjoyed comfortable suites overlooking the lake. The one disadvantage is that the old, castle-like hotel does not have an elevator, which made carrying up luggage a challenge, especially as we three couples were of ages 60 to 82. There was no indication of staff to assist with the luggage, which is the reason I gave "Staff & Service" 4 stars instead of 5. It has two newer two-story auxiliary buildings, which do have elevators. We have stayed in these before. The rooms are very comfortable, but not as charming as staying in a pseudo castle. "

"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. "
Smaland, a picturesque region in southern Sweden, is known for its stunning landscapes and charming villages, but when it comes to nightlife, it offers a more laid-back experience compared to larger cities.
In Växjö, the largest city in Smaland, you'll find a variety of bars and pubs that cater to different tastes. Storgatan, the main street, is lined with lively spots where you can enjoy a casual drink or dance the night away. Popular venues include the trendy cocktail bar, The Bishop's Arms, known for its extensive whisky selection and inclusive setting.
For a more local experience, the smaller towns like Eksjö and Jönköping provide a range of cosy pubs and eateries. Here, you can mingle with locals over a pint of Swedish craft beer or enjoy a meal with a side of live music, especially during weekends.
If you're seeking a great experience, consider visiting one of the region's many festivals, which often feature live performances and a festive atmosphere. The summer months can be particularly lively, with outdoor events that bring the community together.
