Smaland Business Hotels

"This property had a great location, so that our meal at the outdoor restaurant was wonderful. We also enjoyed a nice spacious room. "

"Väldigt trevlig personal! God mat i restaurangen, bra frukost! Hundvänligt till 100%! Vovven fick till och med egen skål med vatten i restaurangen! Supernöjda! "

"The room was warm, it was better after they gave us a fan. As most hotels in Scandinavia they do not have AC."

"Great hotel, very friendly staff. "

"I chose the hotel because check out was only at 12am. I had already traveled for 13 hours and was hoping to get some sleep but the hotel had a construction site starting at 7am. I understand that renovations are being done but they should inform the customers. Also the kitchen was closed when I arrived at the hotel even though it should have been open according to the schedule. Really bad service!"

"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. "

"Great, central location and excellent value for money. Not the most glamorous or modern but if you're looking for a clean, friendly place in central Kalmar, you can't do much better than this. Would absolutely stay here again. "

"Helpful and friendly staff"

"We selected this hotel because of its location and positive reviews. We were in the area to visit relatives of my father’s father. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and quiet. Breakfast and fika and dinner were delicious. There is a set menu for dinner, in addition to salad options. Fresh fruit for breakfast was a treat. All staff were friendly and helpful. There were even games, including chess, checkers, dominoes, and others. It was a short walk to the Doderhult Museum. We visited from Michigan, USA. "
