Top Karlsborg Hotel Reviews

Home Hotel Majoren

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely stay for me and my adult son while visiting my daughter studying at the university. The staff members were very friendly and attentive. The location was fabulous with walking distance (5 mins) to train and bus terminal and to the town square and shopping. The breakfast and dinners (included) were lovely and rooms well appointed. Very comfortable beds, linens, pillows etc. We stayed 4 nights and felt at home."

Hotell Skövde

10/10 Excellent

"Just across the street from the railway station, this hotel was the perfect place to exit the train, check in, go grab dinner and my favorite beverage, and then retire for the night. The next morning is easily started with coffee and breakfast. Veteran move: run across the street to see the final departure time of your train before checking out."

"Greatest place for kids. Nice grounds. Didn’t find the shared showers. But that’s because I misunderstood the ”spa” part and didn’t read the shared facilities properly. Breakfast was a bit bare, but this was definitely off season. "
