Home Hotel Carlscrona

We stayed four nights at the Home Hotel Karlskrona as a family (two adults and a ten-year-old child), in a triple room.||Location and Parking: The hotel is located in the city center near the harbor in a quiet neighborhood. However, it is not as central as other hotels in Karlskrona, such as the Scandic. Getting to the pedestrian streets, the main square, and the boat tour departures requires a bit more walking. The area is calm, but there are very few restaurants nearby (we only found one Italian restaurant by the harbor).|Parking is convenient enough, with spaces available near the reception and by the restaurant side. Spaces cannot be reserved in advance, but we never had issues finding a spot. If full, there is also a public parking just across the street.||Room : The room was clean, but small for three people. Once the third bed was added, there was very little space left to move around. The window was small and the view was over the parking lot, which made the room feel a bit dark and not particularly inviting. The bathroom was clean and functional. One inconvenience was that daily cleaning was only done upon request, which is not something we are used to in continental Europe. Even when we asked for cleaning, essentials like toilet paper were not automatically replaced, and we had to go to reception to ask.||Meals and Breakfast : One of the hotel’s strengths is that dinner is included in the room rate. We tried it twice during our stay, and it was perfectly fine: a salad buffet, a choice of meat or fish with potatoes. There were no desserts, at least on the evenings we dined there. Still, it was a nice and practical option to have.|Breakfast, however, was disappointing. The choice was limited, with few sweet options and very little variety for children. The scrambled eggs seemed to be powdered, and overall quality of food was average. That being said, both dinner and breakfast were served in the same restaurant area, which is a real highlight of the hotel: a large veranda and outdoor seating overlooking a pleasant, flowered courtyard garden. This setting made mealtime much more enjoyable.||Conclusion: The hotel has some real strengths, especially the included dinner and the pleasant restaurant area. However, it is not the best option for families due to the limited room space and location slightly away from the heart of the city.

We’ve stopped here for 1 night. The location is great, a marina is visible outside. All points of interest are within 15-20min walking distance. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was also quite tasty. Nice variety of dishes for dinner (mostly vegetable based, but some protein was served too). The variety of food served for breakfast was a nice surprise too (we came through Denmark, so selection was poorer there). Rooms were very nice with great bathrooms and a nice selection of cosmetics. All in all we’re going to visit again - someday :) Our best to the staff (Especially Jens who shared the recipe for pickled onions)

What an amazing place to stay! Just spent two nights and the staff were very welcoming. The room and beds were comfortable and the bonus was the buffet which was included in our room rate. They provided breakfast buffet, Fika, and dinner buffet which was absolutely delicious and accommodating to food allergies.

The rooms were in top class and evening dinner were excellent. The diningroom and outdoor area is Highland appritiated. Also they had fika on arrival.

Decent tourist class hotel, quiet and centrally located 10 min walk from the old, attractive town center. Stayed in a 2nd floor superior with ’sea view’, i.e. most of the view occupied by parking spaces. Small but nice room, nothing special but comfortable and functionally equipped. A couple of small lounge areas in the lobby and by the well-lit, glass-surrounded restaurant. Pretty good breakfast and dinner. No luxury but relaxing and quite comfortable stay with a welcoming reception staff.

Stayed here 24/01/25. Amazing hotel! With a full meal included and such an amazing service! Highly recommended and way better than any hotel I tried in Karlskrona, actually miles better.

Rooms are small but functional. Beds are comfy despite what they look like! Showers are good pressure and hot and general cleanliness and hygiene is brilliant. Food is excellent, compliments to the chef. Thoroughly enjoyed my first night. Few more to enjoy before heading to Copenhagen.

My rating is 4.5 stars. If it weren't for the mishap checking in, my review would be a perfect one. I rolled into Karlskrona 1.5 hours later than anticipated. I had walked from the train station to the hotel, which took five minutes. However, when you have travelled for so long, and then spent hours doing a train-train-bus-train combination from Copenhagen, this walk seemed like forever. To add insult to injury, there are tons of cobblestones that you need to walk on get to the front entrance of this Clarion hotel. I had a computer bag and one piece of luggage. Both were difficult to roll. On top of that, the restaurant had patrons who were likely observing me struggling. At this stage, I didn't care. I got to the front desk and was greeted by a friendly woman. I said my last name and she checked the system. I handed my credit card. She said that my credit card was on file and that she didn't need it. I felt that was weird, but I accepted her response. I got a room on the third floor of the same building that we were in. There is a separate building where you have to leave it to get to this one that has the restaurant. Being tired, I needed help finding the elevator. It felt like a freight elevator. You press a button to get the elevator. A beep sounds that signals that it's safe to open the door. Same goes with getting to the floor that you want. You wait for the beep before opening the door. My room was close to the elevator. I went in and noticed how humid it was. This hotel does not have air conditioning, but you do get an oscillating fan. It was perfect. I had it running the whole time that I was in the room and was comfortable. I only had two hours of sleep on my flight to Copenhagen. I napped for about fifteen minutes on the bus. I literally changed into my pajamas and crashed on the bed. Roughly 1.5 hours later, the phone rang. I thought that I was dreaming. The ringing stopped and then happened again. I picked up the phone. The woman downstairs said that there was a "miscommunication." She thought that my last name was Chan. My last name rhymes with it. There was apparently another Chinese woman who had a reservation. She gave her room to me. She asked that I come downstairs to sort out the issue. So, I changed and went downstairs. She apologized for waking me up. I gave her my credit card. I advised her that I didn't want to change rooms, for I had already slept on the bed and made the room my home away from home. She fixed everything. While I was there, I went for dinner. Dinner is served from 6 till 9 pm every night and is buffet-style. Your room rate comes complete with breakfast and dinner. The food was incredible. My first night had fried eggs and a wonderful salad bar. While I was stocking up on nourishment, I said hi to a woman who was also there for training. Through her, I met another colleague whom I have never met in person, but recognized her voice from conference calls that we have been on. We had dinner together and chatted. A fourth colleague had overheard our conversation and introduced himself. If it hadn't been for the hotel debacle, I wouldn't have met my colleagues this particular evening. We had breakfast and dinner together most of the time. A couple of us had branched out to wander around the city after work. It was nice that we had a final dinner together before we travelled home. Getting back to the food, the dinner menu changed each night. I had goat curry one evening, sauteed mushrooms that were amazing as a side another night, chilli con carne, and more. The breakfast buffet has roughly the same items. You have hard-boiled and scrambled eggs, sausage, meatballs, bacon, cereal, pastries, bread, yogurt, and more. I was pleased that it offered soy yogurt in vanilla and blueberry. My room was comfortable. I had two single beds smashed together to form a double bed. I slept well every night. The shower was great and came complete with shower gel. As with most European hotels, you don't get a ton of shelf space for your toiletries. I was fine, though. I liked that the hooks in the room were circular. They were both practical and whimsical. The closet was also minimalistic, with five hangers. It also had a shoe horn. On my final night, I went to the front desk to ask for a wakeup call for 4:30 am. He was a great chatty person to talk to. He first offered to check me out now, which meant that my bill is settled and that I could leave quickly in the morning. Great! He went one step more by offering a breakfast bag for me to take on the train. He said that it would have a couple of sandwiches with cheese and ham. Nice! My checkout went smoothly. The wakeup call happened and was automated. I went downstairs and my breakfast bag was waiting at the front desk. A woman at the front desk popped over to say bye as I put my food in my bag. It was a nice touch! The hospitality and generosity at this hotel are top notch. I highly recommend staying here. (319)

Modern, comfortable hotel near the harbor and away from the hubbub of the central city. Dinner, breakfast, and wifi included in the price. Many rooms have balconies or patios.

I was surprised that the rooms were not bigger, I stayed in a double room but what was lacking in room comfort was made upfor in hospitality and dining. Exquisite dinner (included in the price) and really high quality food. Same gors for breakfast..little dissappointed about the gymthat indeed was fully equipped but shared atmosphere with the relaxing area, thus being very warm and humid.
