"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...
"We had a lovely stay. Breakfast was very calm. Staff was very friendly and honest about parking being free nearby during weekend and didn’t try to sell a space in their garage. The suite was beautiful and family friendly. A bit worn in places but cleaning was spotless and the first impression was well… impressive!
Only minus was the lack of drapes for the lower window in the middle of the suite as the neighbours across the street could easily see us at night and our kids like to run around...
"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.

"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."
"We had a nice visit to Kalmar and enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is convenient to the train station as well as the central part of the city. The breakfast is delicious and the staff are so friendly and helpful. "
"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."
"Clean and well maintained. hotel has its own restaurant and it is attached to a Gas/convenience store and oddly a Burger King. Easy stop that has it all."
"Fun property but getting check in info required multiple calls, emails, and eventually Hotels.com intervention. Shouldn't be that much work by the guests to confirm check in and get a door code."

"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!"
"Perfekt för familjen. Utmärkt restaurang med frukostbuffé. Toppen med lekplats å utomhusbad. Bra servicehus för camping med det som man behöver:) rekommenderar starkt! Nära till Astrid Lindgrens värld 2.5km :)"
"Överlag var det en bra övernattning. Det uppfyllde förväntningarna.
Vi åt i restaurangen, den höll ”knappt godkänd”kvalité. Maten innehöll inget ”extra” utan kändes som ”skaplig hemmakvalité”, inte något ”extra” i form av smak, tillagning eller så. Kändes som en tripp tillbaka till hur maten tillagades på 70/80-talet. Efterrätten tog priset. Paj med säsongens frukt. Det visade sig vara ett torrt pajskal (inte en tillstymmelse till färg - troligen prefabricerat som man inte gjort något med). Över detta pajskal hade man sedan slängt på en massa rabarberkräm (såg inte pajskalet förrän man började äta - det var dränkt i kräm) - ovanpå allt låg en kula glass. Vi kunde inte annat än att skratta åt det.
Så, vill ni uppleva matlagning från 70/80-talet så ska ni äta där. Annars finns det klart bättre alternativ.
Men, hotelldelen o frukost var vi mycket nöjda med.

"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. "
