Overall, my stay at this hotel was quite pleasant thanks to its superb location in Karlskrona and the friendly staff. The rooms, while clean and nicely decorated, were a bit small for my taste. Although the service was generally helpful, I did experience some frustration when asking for assistance. Dining was a highlight, especially the cheerful breakfast service, but it could use some diversity in options. Still, I found good value for my money considering the amenities available.
