The room and spa was fine. A bit on the pricy side for what you get, but overall not bad.
What ruined the entire weekend was the food.
Waiting an hour for a tiny portion with absolutely zero spices is not okay. When we complained they offered us a free dessert, so service staff was good at least, but the food was horrible.
This went full circle at breakfast when the scrambled eggs didn’t even have salt on them.
Tip for anyone going there is to eat somewhere else. Anywhere else.
Will not go there again.

The facilities are a bit tired and the beds are really soft. We changed rooms from the spa house to the main house after 2 nights. The bed was marginally better/newer and the room was a bit fresher. The reception staff were empathetic to our problem with the beds, but told us all the beds are the same.
From the spa we only used the outdoor hot tub and the indoor pool. The hot tub was not so hot and the pool was quite warm.
The breakfast spread is good, hot food included. But they stop refilling it for the later seatings so you may not get bacon if you're not an early riser.
The restaurant for dinner was the highlight. Excellent food and friendly staff.
While the whisky selection large, the regular bar staff aren't very knowledgable about it. So do your research ahead of time (and watch the price list!) or be sure to come when they're offering a scheduled tasting (presumably this would be better, but there were no tastings during our stay so I can't say for sure).

What a wonderful hotel to stay!
So great swimming pool and jacuzzi bath!
Free refreshments by the pool ...
Great amenity, Bath robe and slippers....
Good AC (air conditioning), very clean and nice.
We loved this place and from now on we always would like to come to stay in this hotel. It’s a new our favourite place to spend our free time. Additionally this hotel takes Covid19 so seriously, that it’s very clean and for breakfast and fitness or wellness, you must book time in order to avoid too many people at the same time.
They clean dining-tables very often with disinfectant liquid (consideration for Corona). We felt very safe at this hotel.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff and good food.
Beds were not comfortable and playground outside needs to be updated. But overall good location and we enjoyed our stay.

The Hotel tradition back back to the 18th century. It is well kept and has it's own whiskey distillery. An outside, an indoor pool and a spa with Sauna and whirlpool rounds up the advantages. It is located close to the baltic sea and only a short drive away from a small shopping center or over the bridge to Kalmar. Within five minutes you can walk to the small harbor that has some restaurants.

Generally speaking it was a nice place. But the windows were at specific places dirty and the breakfast with law quality (tasteless).

Ok hotel, but overpriced as much at Oland overall. Bed quite hard, woke up when sun rose since blinds were not covering enough to keep room dark.
Ok small and sparse selection buffet breakfast, nothing special. Plus though for gluten and lactose -free. Ok for a night stay, but overpriced.

Resort type hotel on Oland Island
Perfect room clean and comfortable
Beautiful and helpful desk clerk Sophia fixed a mixup in our reservation to get third person in our party Ron with regular bed instead of golf out third bed.
Couldn't have been treated nicer
Outstanding breakfast
Great place to stay before driving around Oland island, well worth seeing

My wife and I were very happy with our 4 day stay. The room was well appointed, immaculate. Comfortable beds, nice bathroom. Nice desk staff.
The location was perfect. Both breakfast and lunch buffets were good although expensive. Sweden is expensive anyway.
We had massages in the spa. Excellent.
Would highly recommend the spa and hotel.

Hotel looks really good from the outside. Inside in the main house it is a bit disappointing. Quiet dirty in the entrance in front of the stairs.
Room on the ground floor was ok and quiet. However a bit dark and furnished with old looking furniture. Could be renovated. Not cosy.
Located 200 metres from the seaside, no seaview (on an island). Some of the surrounding buildings looked a bit shabby.

We requested a queen bedded room with spa access. On check in we were not offered the room requested and told we might be able to change the next day. Dinner the same evening was not up to standard, main course mussels were perfect but pomme frites were cold and had been cooked in stale oil. We emailed the hotel and the response we received was offhand almost to the point of rudeness'. (Sophia)
The following evening we ate at Kaj4 resteraunt on the quayside, a fabulous meal, a great teams of staff and a perfect location 😃
