If you are looking for quiet grounds, water front beach, hiking trails, generous and delicious food, and perfectly helpful staff - Stufvenas Gastgifveri is your place. Although only 20 minutes for Kalmar, it is a great alternative if you are looking for a quiet place to stay. We hope to visit again in 2016.

We had a hotel brunch here and the selection was sad but understandable for a small town hotel…read more There were only bacon, very watery scrambled egg, limp crepes/pancakes. The soft-boiled egg was on point though... The reason I gave it two stars was because there were flies around the cheese table and dessert table, making me lurched a little bit. Flies are not tolerable anywhere, especially not a hotel that boasts to have the largest whisky bar ever. I don't know whether the workers were just sloppy that day or this is an occurrence. I think I would rather have my brunch (or stay) somewhere else, considering the lobby also smelled strongly of ammonia (I wouldn't dare suggest something else?)

Rooms was as expected and nothing to complain about. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was really nice with a lot of fruit what did exceed the expectations. As the price/ value relation is not too good it gets only 4 points. Side-note: We had a room with a view to the backyard and could enjoy watching a huge number of bunnies jumping around during the evening hours. Very funny!

The staff is awesome, very grateful and always trying to help you. Breakfast offers a great variety of high quality food and its definitely a 5/5, and dinner is also top level (both menu and buffet). It has a small pool, sauna and gym and offers free high speed wifi everywhere in the hotel. If you come to Kalmar by car there's no reason why you shouldn't choose this hotel.
