Hotel Skansen

The spa building offers excellent access to spa services. The facilities were extremely clean and service staff were always available and eager to provide services.

The offerings from comfortable rooms to food service to the spa amazing restaurant and evening entertainment all rolled up in on place is so unusual.

Great room, super spa, good quality food.

We were woken up in the middle of the night by fire alarm which was due to some technical issue. My son got very stressed. We spent 30 minutes outside the building. The usual way from our floor to outside was closed, there were no marks about the emergency exit door in it. We were confused. In the morning there were no explanations or excuses provided.

It was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Very good facilities. Beautiful breakfast. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Spacious, comfortable room.Excellent restaurant.Friendly and helpful staff.Great location.

Not like the pictures- Small rooms and no air-conditioning in 30+ heat. Mediocre breakfast, dirty tables and bird droppings everywhere! If possible don't book this hotel.

As stated this is a hotel that tries to be "upscale" but it's not.I booked a budget room (if you call 2000SEK to be budget...!) with plans on staying for at least a week.Since the room came with a somewhat hefty price and is located in Sweden I assumed that it would be a decent room but it was terrible.The small room comes with extra beds (that I didn't asked for or have booked) and contains a long hallway a cramped bath (sink so small that you barely can wash your hands ) so the actually room you stay in barely has room to put your feet on the floor.What's not mention either is that the room is situated over the kitchen and eaven if you open the windows and start a fan it consistent is +30C in the room at all times!When I complained about this I got offered a room upgrade for 600SEK ,so I could have a better fan. What a joke!I think it's horrible that they actually call this a Hotel room and that they feed upon unknowing tourists that book this room and get their holiday ruined. Also the parking was bad,with loads of bird droppings and the breakfast was mediocre with few things to select from. Also the tables where dirty. Its a shame. But maybe you get better service if you book a more expensive room.. I surely hope so!

Lovely place. Good services on location; restaurant and bistro. Very comfortable room and bed and pillows.

Over the years (I have stayed here many many times) they have cut down on smaller items like some breakfast items and items in the minibar. It gives the sense of a downward spiral.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast.

The parking lot outside was very overcrowded, with one free space under a large tree where cormorants hang out at night. In the morning the car looked like it had been bombarded with feces.

Good price. Clean. Good location. Comfortable. Lovely breakfast.

The first room did not have single beds so we had to pay extra to get them

Nice place, good base for visiting Kalmar and exploring Öland. Nice room, comfortable bed, good breakfast and cosy lobby bar.

Our first accommodation has been cancelled by the Host in Öland, so we have booked in the last minute Skansen.Finally we have spent there 2 nights because we wanted to look around in Öland and enjoyed the stay as well.Great size of room, helpful staff and beautiful longe area. Breakfast had wide range of choice, with gluten free and vegan options.Animals are welcomed, some treats have been served to our dog. Based on our complains, we got small amount of refund, which was a correct attitude.

Timber Sauna was not really worked correctly, there are cracks on the wall, where the air can come in.On the second floor of the spa building, there is a ice machine which is really noise, and we did not have hot water compared to the main building where everything was perfect.

Nice rooms, good breakfasts, friendly staff, and the spa was a pleasant addition. Great base for exploring Orland and the Kalmar area.

Clean, quiet, excellent staff, delicious breakfast and lovely dinner too!

The lady in the bar was not so friendly.. but was okay .. just surprised cause everyone else was so lovely

Friendliness of the staff, breakfast, location

The lobby and restaurant looked okay as well did the pool area. The rooms were outdated and hot. The bathroom was back to the 80s.

We love the breakfast at Skansen, it has a range of appealing, fresh and delicious options. A great start to the day. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. There is a good choice of where to sit, it is very clean, we never feel rushed and feel it is a great start to the day.

The room had air conditioning and the bed was very comfortable. There was bowls and treats for our dogs in the room. Nice location for travellers with dogs. Great breakfast.

Lovely location great breakfast

Rooms a little functional ie no frills but perfectly clean

Great hotel, old and cozy. Very good breakfast and children enjoyed the spa very much. Dogs were welcomed and our he got a blanket, some food/water bowls and a snack, which was great :)

Nothing bad to say about the place

The breakfast was good and varied but not well organized and this caused a long queue.The jacuzzi and pool were great and clean.

The reception staff were very serious. We had the feeling of being in an office!!

Restaurant, reception area

Large scratches on the wall in the bedroom.shower set up not optimal with water sipping out below onto the floor
