The staff were life-savers! They are all so friendly. All speak English very well. Check in is different from an American chain so plan ahead to be in hotel restaurant by 20:00, or make easy arrangements. The room was so quaint and beautiful. Breakfast was so traditional. I loved it. I've missed Kalmar and it was good to make a visit back and stay at this lovely place.

Tack för att du valde att bo hos oss. Dela gärna med dig om dina åsikter så att vi kan bli bättre. Välkomna tillbaka.
Limited parking, wifi ok, tasty breakfast (no hot food though), dust in room, vanity severely water damaged, restaurant outdoor seating right outside our window so could not have blinds open for sunlight.

Thanks for getting back to us. We will look over your reflektions of our hotel.
Mysigt hotell med bra läge, men blev besviken kring vissa saker:
- personalen vid incheckningen var osäkra på när frukosten serverades och det stod två olika tider på hemsidan.
- toalettstolen i badrummet satt inte fast i golvet och sitsen satt inte bra på stolen så man fick vara väldigt försiktig när man satt där
- Inga rullgardiner, vaknade när solen gick upp
- städning i badrum kändes slarvigt utförd, det var dammigt och kalkigt här och där.
- väldigt lyhört, sov dåligt då jag hörde samtal från rummen intill (inte skrik eller så).

Tack för feedback. Vi håller på med en upprustning av hotellet och kollar över städningen.
Ha en bra dag och välkomna åter
What a cozy place to stay! Everyone was so friendly the room was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious with so many choices. The attached restaurant was so good I ate there both nights! I also got helpful ideas about places to visit while I was in the city.

A wonderful spot with a nice restaurant on the street level.
Everything was lovely, except for the typical TINY Scandinavian bathroom! Good breakfast and location. Cozy.

Hotell Hilda is a budget hotel. As long as you understand that, I would rate it as good. It is quite clean. The room is adequate. The shower is good. The breakfast is decent.
My only objection to the hotel is that there was no one available to greet us or check us in mid afternoon on a Sunday. We simply were texted a code to enter our room. In fact, other than one waitress in the breakfast room, we had no contact with anyone from the hotel.
If cost is most important for you, this place is a decent value.

Thanks for nice review. We are aware that check in Sunday afternoon/evening could be kind of confusing for our guests when there´s no staff in place. In the confirmation we´ve tried to be clear with instructions how to check in.
Sorry for your inconvenience and have a pleasent stay here in Sweden
I had a single room on the ground floor. It was clean and comfortable. There was a problem with my bill (through no fault of the hotel) and the staff were very accommodating. Overall lovely place to stay, just be aware there is no AC (but the windows do open).

Lovely B&B in the heart of everything. Short walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach. Remember to get directions to get in after the restaurant closes! And don't miss the fabulous flower shop across the street -- a real special treat :)
We stayed in newly added rooms over the little restaurant. Very modern, clean and on the 2nd floor. Staff was very welcoming. Although the free parking space was too small for our rental vehicle (car was brand new and we wanted to avoid door dings) staff advised that street parking was free from 5:00pm to 9:00am and that their cooks routinely parked there during restricted daytime hours without being ticketed. We chanced it and happily were not ticketed either! Very short walk to Kalmar Castle & area restaurants. Lovely city, wish we could have stayed longer! Staff also gave helpful advice regarding upcoming stay in Stockholm.
Love this place. The owner is very nice and helpful. Close walking distance to bus/train station, restaurants, castle, city park, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

Couldn’t ask for more. Quaint hotel in a nice location. Staff was amazing; so friendly! The rooms were clean and had everything we needed; they even provided a hair dryer after the one we brought broke. Excellent restaurant with a nice bar on site. We are already planning our return trip
Cute place with a very popular restaurant as well as deli.

Good Location - Friendly Staff
We stayed here in Kalmar for one night in mid June. The location worked well for walking to the castle and enjoying the sights in the harbour. One of the great features is the attached restaurant which serves a variety of healthy dishes.
We had a very pleasant stay in this small and different hotel. The rooms are situated in two buildings, and ours was in a charming wooden house with historical flair and even an old tiled stove. The reception is in the charming little restaurant. And even though we almost were the only guests, they had made us a small breakfast buffet, with home made bread and really high quality products. We really felt at home in this simple but charming hotel.

Thank you for staying with us and for the kind words. That makes us very happy!
Ett mycket mysigt och trevligt litet hotell med fina rum och supertrevlig personal. Frukosten var i min mening mycket bra med perfekt kokade frukostägg.
Mycket bra på alla sätt. Om hotellet kunde sätta in tre-glasfönster hade allt varit perfekt. Då hade temperaturen i sovrummet varit ännu bättre vintertid.
