Färjestaden hotels

Pros: Super charming house, great location and friendly staff. Located in a quiet neighborhood, the Captain's Villa is a great base for exploring the city.

Pros: It is a really good choice in Kalmar, the house is beautiful and the rooms big. Breakfast is top.

Cons: Internet was a bit weak.

Pros: A perfect place to stay in Kalmar.

Pros: All excellent, nothing special to mark on. Close enough to most of things in Kalmar

Cons: Little warm in bedroom, but i guess in a house like those you simply cannot mount aircon.

Pros: Kaptensvillan is located in the quiet and beautiful old part of Kalmar. Our bedroom was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Our stay was made even better by the friendly and hospitable Zoe, who really showed interest in us and readily provided us with information for exploring nearby Öland. We would come back here without any hesitation.

Cons: A little background music in the breakfast room would help that slight awkwardness of dining alongside the few other guests in the house. The breakfast itself was very nice - some soft boiled eggs would have made it even more perfect :)

Pros: Such a lovely place! Had great time here. Very clear, very authentic, very friendly host. Marika, thank you for accommodation!

Cons: I’ve stayed here too short.

Pros: The whole stay was a wonderful experience, lovely people, mind blowing historic house and garden, great breakfast, really comfy bed and convenient location.

Cons: Everything was just great and lovely! Couldn't think of a single mistake.

Pros: Very central and clean

Cons: This room was right next to the breakfast / get together room. It was very loud since you could hear every word which was spoken. I don't have a problem with an external bathroom but if I do have to pass the breakfast guests with a towel I don't feel comfortable. The bathroom is to small to change in there! It would at least be nice to have bathrobs instead of a really small towel. The first breakfast guest arrived even earlier than 8 am so it was very uncomfortable. Also you can hear the owner in the night since she/he snores very loudly and you can hear it below even so we didnt sleep underneath her/him.

Pros: Great room Very cute garden with tables Heléne is very welcoming and helpful Great location Perfect breakfast

Pros: Nice hostess, very helpful. Cosy building and environment. Very close to town center. Clean. Nice to be able to put sodas, etc in the fridge. Recycling containers.

Cons: Service - room for improvement! We pre-booked dinner with hotel: Only one 2-course standard meal, 2 days same tomato soup, one main course could not be taken due to health reasons. Requested a simple alternative that was rejected!! This attitude reminded me of a similar incident in GDR! Absolutely unacceptable service philosophy!! Breakfast low quality, but comprehensive

Pros: Nice location, 2 minutes walk from city center. Friendly staff. Nice and clean room (sea view). Bathroom OK. Buffet dinner really good (served until 9.00pm). Good breakfast with nice choice. Good hotel overall!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Hotel's environment, room design and being super clean

Cons: The temperature of room could be little higher

Pros: This hotel is one of our favorites in Sweden. As we have a dog, we always get a seaside room. The hotel was developed from an old dockside warehouse and now is fronted by a small boat harbor and surrounded by the growing university and near the castle park. Breakfast and buffet dinner are included in the room price.

Cons: As I am always nervous about finding parking, I always hope to find a place nearby. (I was lucky this time as well.

Breakfast was good, with a lot of options to choose. Staff helfpul. Stayed there only one night, chose it because of the low price, and Im happy about my choice.

Pros: We stayed here while competing at Ironman Kalmar, its a 15 minute drive over the bridge to Kalmar City. The hotel acomadated our every request from early breakfast on race morning to using the lift to get the bike box upstairs. Superb location on the harbour, even better when sat in the hot tub overlooking the city.... Thank you so much for your warm welcome, Highly recommended. Slates

Cons: We were unable to fault anything.

Pros: Views were amazing and it was clean.

Cons: Stairs to rooms were located on the outside of the building (not great when it's windy and raining). There was a small lift which was covered but still, it was outdoors. There wasn't enough free parking space available to all guests; one evening after a day out we had to park in pay and display area. It was free in the evening but had to be payed next morning from 9 am. Hotel staff were not overly helpful in explaining this. On final evening the entire area was closed off due to an Iron man competition/festival (there was a giant inflatable obstacle course on parking lot!). We were never informed about this in advance and when asking staff where else we should park, they weren't exactly interested in helping us. Had to figure it out ourselves. Festival continued with live band playing 50m from balcony until 11pm. Not great when travelling with small children.. Finally, breakfast was a 2 star. Apparently they don't serve the advertised continental breakfast after the Swedish holiday season is over (??!!). They charge the same price, but you don't get the same food..

Cons: Nothing

Cons: There was nothing not to like ! Have a great stay.

Pros: It was very clean and the staff was really friendly. It was nice that everything was prepared before arrival, so that even though there is no staff at the desk past 15.00 you don't feel like you need it because you get clear instruction and information before hand.

Pros: Wifi was very reliable. The room was spatious enough for 2 persons plus dog. I enjoyed the shower which was very convenient. Free parking was available. There even was a small guest kitchen which we did not know before. Therefore we did not use it. But I was pleased to have a water kettle and fee tea/coffea in the room (milk was missing). Breakfast was ok and there was a good choice of food.

Cons: It was quite surprising not to meet any staff for the check-in. I just received a message with the doorcode and that was it. I am glad that the dog could stay with us in the room but paying 200 SEK for the dog is not really cheap; sorry to say so.

Pros: Location

Cons: Cleanliness

Pros: Everything was just perfect could have not asked for more .

Cons: Maybe a bit hot in the room when it was very hot out

Pros: An accomodation with a long history, very typical for Öland. The BBQs are gorgeous and a MUST if you stay in Vickleby. Try the strawberry cake for desert! And the self-made sausages are also worth trying. Friendly stuff and nice vintage rooms. The garden is most inviting for a relaxing stay when the weather is great. If it's raining you have a cosy lobby to enjoy a good glass of wine.

Pros: Very comfortable space. Breakfast was exeptionally swedish and of high standard. Restaurant food was very high quality and prices to match, but didn’t mind paying for amazing meal. All staff was very courteous and helpful. Special thanks to Cristopher which made our stay special.

Cons: People congregated right outside bedroom window (room 6). Sometimes even grilling which wasnt ideal.

Pros: Nice and peaceful place to stay on Öland with a beautiful garden. The personnel was very friendly and the breakfast was good.

Cons: Too bad that the restaurant was not open yet and that it was not specified during the booking. Some blackout curtain would be a plus in my opinion.

Our 2 bedroom appartment was a little house dating back to end 18th century. Very good breakfast. Enough bicycles available, for free, so that you can make rides around the village with the entire family.

Cons: Nothing really. The beds could be a bit more comfortable and the bathroom of our appartment could have a refresh.

Pros: Quiet Countryside Hotel, charming and attentive staff.

Pros: Excellent small cottage from the late 1700's. It was like staying in a museum or a part of Skansen. Beautiful surrounding areas. We didn't enter the restaurant area and only cooked in the tiny kitchenette, which was minimally stocked, but worked for us.

Cons: More toilet paper, dish soap, forks, knives, potato peeler, etc.

Pros: Excellent food with an extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: Excellent breakfast in a superb location.

Cons: The room was rather small (low ceiling made it feel small, actually), and was quite warm at night. Would have been lovely if there were more possibilities to get some fresh air in. Airco?

Cons: Free WIFI, which is explicitly mentioned in the advertisement, didn't work. No television in the room. It was a realy nice room, but poor value for money. Way too expensive.
