Best Western Kalmarsund is in a great location, inside the old town with all-pedestrian streets. Kalmar’s iconic symbol, the Water Tower, is just a hundred meters away. As expected, the lobby is small but we were impressed with the free coffee and cookies. Surprisingly, the tiny reception desk had snack and drink stands. Our room was a suite, with great looking wallpaper in both rooms, separated by a fancy two-paneled French door. The foyer had a comfortable sofa and Swedish-design dining table, coffee table, and chairs. A large TV, a unique floor-standing lamp, and a ref cabinet complete the living room. The bedroom area has a very comfortable bed, two longish night stands, and a small TV. My wife loved that the bathroom liquids were all Rituals-branded, a high-end brand. She also loved that we had his and hers washbasin. There was a ledge to put your cosmetic kits on but it was below the washbasins so it was a bit awkward. Our complaints? There was no air-conditioning. Good thing summer her was still cold enough. The other was that there was no in-room phone, so you couldn’t contact the front desk. Breakfast at Best Western was in the dining place that surrounded the reception, elevator and stairs. And breakfast was great! They had a wide variety of veggies, lots of cold meats, several types of breads. Plus they had hot foods, including meatballs and pork & beans. We just wished there was an egg station where we could order omelet or fried eggs or eggs benedict. Everything was self-serve.

A lovely little hotel. The rooms are basic but clean and perfect for us as we didn't want to spend all day in the hotel. Location was fantastic, it's a 10 Min walk (max) to the castle. Everything else is within 5 mins. Rooms - basic, we had a double room which was two single beds, pushed together. The beds were really comfortable. Little tip request a room near the back of the hotel, the morning deliveries and bin collection can be a little loud. The bathroom was very small, but had everything we needed. The shower was brilliant nice and hot and very powerful. Fresh towels were provided daily. The cleaning staff were great, they were alway happy to help. The room also had a hair dryer and desk. The sauna which is located near room 115 is brill, it's opened 3pm - 10pm. It's a decent size and very clean. There is also a jacuzzi however it was out of order during our visit. There is also a little sun terrace off the sauna and jacuzzi which is lovely for relaxing and people watching. The breakfast was fantastic, a really good buffet, much better than the ones UK chain hotels have. They also have a while range for vegan's, lactose intolerance, wheat intolerance etc there is something for everyone. The staff were amazing, they were all so friendly and happy to help. Jeanette in particular is fantastic, nothing was to much trouble. Jeanette helped us book taxis, sort rooms and anything else we needed. She is a superstar! Thank you Jeanette! Overall a basic but brilliant hotel that provides a great base to explore Kalmar!
