Stora Frö Vacation Rentals

"Staff & Service would received 5 stars if not for one of the staff members in the spa. We seemed like an inconvenience. Beyond that everything was wonderful."

"We loved our stay here. Thank you! "

"Lovely hotel, old feel. Dinner of soup salad and bread included, as well as breakfast. Walking distance to train and beautiful Kalmar Castle. Food was great, room lovely. Staff made all the difference—lovely and welcoming. This hotel is a gem!"

"The pictures do not do it justice. If you are from North America this will give you the ultimate cozy Scandinavian vibe. The lighting, candles even during breakfast, and room decor was such a welcome in the cold rainy days in October. It was bare bones with no conditioner, shampoo, hair dryer but still simple, cozy with warm people working there. The beautiful library is across the street and great to see. So quick and easy to the downtown centre. Centrally located. We loved our stay!!"

"Very friendly and helpful"

"The apartment worked for our small family very well. Separate bedrooms is such a plus when traveling with an adult child. International travelers should be aware of a few things: there are no soaps, shampoo, etc included unless a previous guest leaves some behind. AND there are no linens / towels automatically included, they must be ordered ahead of time and paid separately. If you don’t know this and roll in late and the restaurant is closed you will be sleeping on beds with no linens. AND you are expected to clean the unit top to bottom unless you pay for an extra fee for cleaning. They say they will charge you for having to clean the unit if it does not meet their standards. When we checked in I found the toilet was dirty with dirty tissues in the bowl and toilet paper plastered to the top rim. So I don’t know how closely they inspect the units. The property is in very good condition, our unit had no mechanical or maintenance problems. There was a table and 4 chairs available on a private porch along with a grill. Plenty of parking for everyone. A very short walk down to the small beach. This property would be great for a relaxing vacation, the island has everything you need with groceries and shopping. We didn’t eat at the restaurant so i can’t comment on it, but they did have a wood fired oven for pizza. I would stay here again knowing what I know now, but definitely plan differently. Also having to pay for linens & cleaning ups the base price. "

"This property suited our needs for an overnight stay. Parking was easy and convenient. They offered a breakfast buffet in the morning that was nice. The room was clean, as was the property. We never interacted with anyone, so if we had any questions, it might have been difficult. The area around the hotel seemed commercial, but we were just there for an overnight stay for nearby visit. "

"The breakfast was excellent with a wonderful offering of great food and much variety. "

"I stayed here for Ironman Kalmar and cannot recommend it enough. I changed my travel plans last minute to arrive a day early and stay in a different local hotel. I asked if early check-in would be possible as I had to vacate the first place by 11am, and the receptionist was so friendly and helpful in putting a note on my reservation, and then letting me know the next morning I could check in before 11 because a room was ready. The breakfast was phenomenal. They opened up at 4am on race morning and had everything I thought I needed plus more. (Fruit smoothie, ginger juice shot with chili, pancakes with real maple syrup, so many different breads, meats, cheese, fruit, salads etc. in addition to your typical breakfast.) Finally, checkout the day after the race was delayed 2 hours, which I've never experienced at any other race, but which would've been much appreciated had I not opted to stay an extra day (specifically to avoid having to pack up and be out by 10:30am)."
