The hotel is located conveniently outside old town of Kalmar. It is right by a nice walk by the sea with lots birds and swans. High recommend to go for a walk along the lake (sea). The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room and bedding are spotless clean. I'd definitely come back and stay again.

A twenty minute walk from Kalmar Centre, Svanen is well located and offers all the amenities that you need for a short stay. The room I stayed in was clean, internet worked well and there was a large common kitchen which I particularly appreciated. It is not a party hostel, so you won't hear much noise in the evening. They also have a bike-renting service for 100 SEK/day. If you want to see much of the town, you are better off renting a bike.

Very good hostel with excellent facilities such as kitchen with microwaves, fridges, electric stove, kettles and basic kitchen utensils. There was also a good common-area/lobby with TV and small library with storybooks, novels, board-games, etc. There was also washing machine and vacuum cleaner. The room was convenient for a family of four with children and beds were also good. It was close to the bus-stop and around 15 mins by walk from the central train-station. The area around the hostel was good for walking. The staff were helpful and breakfast was also quite good for the price of 100 SEK. Bathrooms were quite clean.

I was alone in a 4 person room, what I really appreciated after being on a long trip and felt ill. Staff was great, a lot of spare around, nature, silent, could see stars in the night, community kitchen was great and well equipped and clean. Nice Talks to other guests, Sauna Option to rent was great, even I had no time to book it. I would definetaly come back!

Staff was really helpful as I had to check-in really late (my bus arrived at midnight). Everything was organised nicely, including questions about bedlinen or towels needed. As a consequence of checking in late, I was a bit late getting my room ready in the morning (cleaning) and they were very understanding on checking out a bit later. I asked for timetables on public transport to visit Öland island and I had a full page handwritten with schedules of both buslines and the ferry :-) There's cleaning gear at your service to get your cleaning done, as well as a to-do list on what's expected. Everything is clean, new and tidy, and it's very silent. The location is just off Kalmar itself, but it only took me 15-20 minutes by foot from the Central station. A hi-five for the amazing showers and shared kitchen !

It is as Swedish it can be. Close to the hostel is a homestead farm (museum) with a café, though even the hostel didn't serve breakfast, the café dit. It was also not too far away from supermarkets
