Top Karlsborg Hotel Reviews

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. "
