Smaland hotel rooms a the Elite Hotels of Sweden

"Hade önskat lite trevligare bemötande i restaurangen. Gjorde som det stod, som svensk, väntade på min tur och väntade in hovmästaren. Ville bara ta ett glas och när hovmästaren kom undrade personen varför jag stod där och inte gick till baren. "

"Everything was great-from the service, to the food and location. We truly enjoyed our stay here and want to thank the staff for the hospitality! "

"Big rooms, kind staff"

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

"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"
