This is a small hotel located in a renovated church. The renovation is top notch. Everything is very high quality. Our room was spotlessly clean. Our room and the entire inside of the hotel seemed like new. However, our room was one of the smallest hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. It was uncomfortably cramped for two people. There is very little room for luggage. There is no refrigerator in the room (and probably no room to include one).

The windows in our room did not open but the small floor fan helped keep the room comfortable. Although, the fan made moving around in the room even more difficult due to the lack of floor space. The location is very close to the city center with easy access to shopping and the train station and bus center. The breakfast was fantastic and the man who staffs the breakfast area is delightful. Given how friendly we have found everyone in Sweden, we were both somewhat surprised and disappointed with Gunilla. She did not seem to want to be bothered with us. I would describe her as begrudgingly helpful. There are a lot of things to like about Sockerslottet Hotel, however, given the tiny rooms and Gunilla’s attitude, I would at least look at other options if I ever returned to Kristinehamn.
