Home Hotel Packhuset

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times over the years and have even reviewed it before, but felt it was time for an update. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and expansion, which has made the front desk area and restaurant a bit chaotic—something to keep in mind when planning your stay.||The newer standard rooms are a significant upgrade compared to the older, tired carpeted rooms that still make up the majority of the hotel. That said, even the updated rooms aren’t without flaws. The bathrooms, while relatively modern in appearance, are very cramped and lack basic amenities like tissue boxes and rainfall showers (a standard feature in many newer Comfort hotels across the Nordics).||The TVs are on the small side, and the volume can’t be turned up enough for comfortable viewing. However, the most serious issue—by far—is the temperature control. The rooms get extremely cold, and from September through April, I highly recommend bringing your own space heater. During the summer months, there’s no air conditioning, which makes the rooms uncomfortably warm—so much so that I’d advise against staying here at all in the hotter months.

Clarion Collection Hotel Packhuset in Kalmar, Sweden, offers a charming and cozy stay by the Baltic Sea. The hotel has a boutique feel, with smaller, intimate rooms. The shower in the room is a good size, though the overall space is compact. The hallways on the first floor are notably low, adding to the unique charm of the building’s historic character.||A standout feature of this hotel is the inclusion of both breakfast and dinner, making it convenient and adding excellent value to your stay. The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway, with the water just a short walk from the hotel, offering a serene setting to start or end your day. If you’re looking for a quaint, relaxed place to stay in Kalmar, this hotel is a great choice!

The hotel is conveniently located near to the bus and train station. Although it was only an overnight stay, the hotel surpassed our expectations. Our room was spacious and bright. Well equipped with Netflix enabled TV and kettle. Large very comfortable bed and an equally spacious bathroom with large powerful shower and quality toiletries. Room cost includes afternoon tea, buffet dinner as well as breakfast and represented excellent value.|We didn’t sample afternoon tea but had dinner in the hotel. Two courses are provided, soup and a main meal, in this case a chorizo stew with salad and vegetables. We asked for a vegetarian option and they kindly cooked substantial falafel course. Meal includes coffee and water. Desserts and alcoholic drinks can be purchased at extra cost.|Breakfast the following morning had a good range of food similar to other hotels we experienced in Sweden and was perfectly fine. It was a sunny morning and we were able to dine outside on a balcony overlooking the harbour.|Staff all very pleasant and they provide storage facilities for luggage if required. For the price it represented excellent value for money.

This is a great hotel. Stay in calmar. Really like the food and facilities here. The gym is absolutely fantastic. Very well worth using if you like. The meals are served as part of their room rate and very worth it with a fantastic buffet both for breakfast and evening dinner. The cocktails are really worth going for as well. The stuff are very friendly. The room are very spacious and it's a very clean hotel. Highly recommended

Shabby chique hotel. The downstairs which was under restauration, looks promising. Reception and bar open late, cosy lounch to chill and a terrace looking out over the water as well.

Once again another hotel that doesn’t want to do a daily room cleaning. Also since we have a standard room and not a superior room, we don’t get a box of Kleenex in our room??? Never heard of such a thing! Got an opened box of Kleenex from the front desk! Unbelievable!

The hotel is well located for the Ironman event, close to train station and city centre. Convenient for swim start especially. The hotel provides excellent breakfast, afternoon snack and evening meal.

Very nice staff, helpful and friendly at any time. We`ve been there probably 14 times without no dissapointment whatsoever. Fabolous view if you live in a room facing the harbour. It is located a couple of minutes walk from the center of Kalmar. A loveley small town with nice people.|Two thumbs up!

Fantastic view from room 104 right of the harbor! Great dinner and breakfast buffet! Plus Hannah was amazing! Very attentive staff and she deserves a huge raise or promotion! Loved this hotel and would return in a heartbeat!

I had a great stay at Packhuset and the staff is by far the reason for that. Even though they had an ongoing renovation of the dining and reception area they didn't let it affect they in any way. Lovely breakfast and dinner buffé. Another extra + is the fact that you could borrow their gymcard at a really nice local gym against a small fee- very appriciated!!
