Hotel Reviews
Scandic Webers
Vesterbrogade 11B

This hotel was not up to the standard we were expecting. It doesn't deserve more than 2 stars. We were very disappointed with it.

Authenticity & Character
There was no character. It was a basic hotel. There wasn't even a coffee making device in the room. Very few amenities. There was a tub/shower, but no place to store things in the bathroom, and the bathroom smelled bad constantly. We had a room on the first floor facing the street to there was a lot of noise. No AC so you had to open the windows sometimes. We just didn't like this hotel at all.
Location
I expect we were booked here due to it's proximity to the train station. However, we didn't end up using the train at all for this part of the trip. We used an Uber 3 times to get us to two of the tours and to the airport. There was no advantage to us to being so far away from most of the important sites in Copenhagen.
Staff
Cleanliness & Comfort
If we'd had a room on an upper floor, which we requested but didn't receive, we would probably have been happier with the hotel. Breakfast was fine. There seemed to be some activities available on the main floor for kids, so it's probably a good fit for families, but it didn't suit us.
Clarion Collection Hotel Packhuset
Kalmar

This is a lovely hotel with a perfect water front location. There is plenty of seating with views of the water and also a courtyard with seating if it got cool on the water. Blankets were provided on the backs of chairs and couches if it got cool. They had live music in the courtyard one night. Providing a dinner meal as well as breakfast was helpful. The dinner food was adequate but not spectacular.

Cleanliness & Comfort
We were initially assigned to an awful, tiny, dark room that had such a sloped ceiling you could only stand up straight on one side of the room. We couldn't imagine spending 3 nights there so we went back down to the front desk and asked for a change. They were able to move us to a much nicer room with a small balcony. This bathroom also had plenty of storage space and a tub/shower so we didn't soak the floor there. We very much enjoyed this hotel, but if we hadn't been able to move rooms it would have been miserable.

Perfectly located and a very large room. The room decor was a bit spartan but it was comfortable. The hotel had a lot of seating areas where you could gather with people who were traveling with you. We saw families playing games and couples chatting together in various locations around the hotel.

Politically incorrect beer walk
Politically incorrect beer walk
Copenhagen

This was fun. Thor, the guide, was informative and funny but quite full of himself. He was also very unkempt, meaning his clothes were dirty and he didn't smell very good. I think that might be part of the image he's trying to project. We were among the oldest participants, but that didn't bother us any. It felt strange to be following a guy with a rolling cooler full of beer around the streets, but that made it quirky and fun. It was very conveniently located for us since our hotel was right around the corner from where it started, but it's not the greatest part of town overall. The beers were just ok - nothing special.

Kim-Kim team,
I rarely write reviews unless my experiences are exceptionally good or absolutely disastrous.
We have travelled the world extensively and utilized several travel agencies including great trips with KimKim several times. Historically, the trips have gone as planned with the activities and logistics going nearly flawlessly after extensive planning and attention to detail. Unfortunately, after numerous virtual meetings with our KimKim Travel expert, followed by numerous e-interaction interactions with the scheduler prior to the trip, the logistics of this trip to Sweden were absolutely a disaster!!! The activities, guides and accommodations were very good, however, the overall transport to and from activities (starting with not being picked up at the airport) along with several mis-bookings (one activity didn't actually exist), poor activity coordination and many miscommunications led to the most stressful trip I have ever experienced. We hired Kim Kim to ensure that we could be care-free. Ultimately, we had to literally planned much of our own trip on the fly with tremendous stress. This was also quite embarrassing for us because we planned the trip for 3 additional couples. If the management were to look at the numerous written and whats-app records of both the emergency hot line (that was worthless), and e-communications (to the trip planner and scheduler), they would see that there were numerous interactions from our landing in Stockholm until our departure. Unfortunately, the hot line and e-communications did virtually nothing other than to be verbally apologetic....virtually no actions that were helpful or taken when we needed them the most. I spent 40 years working for a large corporation as an executive and our mantra was "the customer is always right!". When your business is 100% customer service oriented it was unfathomable that was there was a nearly complete system failure once we landed in Sweden. After returning from our trip and we had several additional discussions with various KimKim employees, they refunded a small portion of the total trip as a token recognition of our unfortunate experience this time with KimKim. Personally, I would have expected more along with letters of apologies from all that were involved (along with management) for this debacle. Hoping that KimKim will closely review our situation carefully to ensure this never happens again! Nothing else needs to be said.

The hotel, staff and owner were absolutely amazing and wonderful! They went well above and beyond in every way possible to make our stay special and to help us with several extremely stressful situations that were result of poor planning by our travel agency. Quite frankly, it's because of the delightful experience at the Best Western that we were able to enjoy the remainder of our trip in Sweden. Thank for making us feel special when we needed help and support!

Hi Joel,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience.

First and foremost, I'm truly sorry that your trip did not meet the standard you had every right to expect. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to encounter repeated logistical issues, especially after the time we spent planning your journey together and with the added responsibility of traveling with three other couples.

I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the activities, guides, and accommodations, and I especially appreciate your kind words about the team at Best Western Hotell Lerdalshöjden. I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to them.

That said, it's clear that the transportation and operational issues had a significant impact on your overall experience. We take feedback like yours very seriously, and your comments have been carefully reviewed internally so we can better understand what went wrong and improve our processes going forward.

While I'm glad we were able to provide a partial refund after your trip, I understand that it could not undo the stress and disappointment you experienced during your travels.

Thank you again for your honest feedback. We genuinely appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention, and we wish you all the very best in your future travels.

I also want to compliment kimkim's "emergency" service. We had a late night question during the trip that affected the next morning's travel. Using the contact information kimkim provided prior to our trip, we connected and received an answer immediately. No worries! Most important for travelers is to have help readily available. Kadri and Camila (and the one-time emergency service) provided that peace of mind. This was our second trip with kimkim, and we will plan for a third soon! Thank you, Kadri and Camila!

Glad we had the chance to see this extension of Stockholm. Very scenic. The lunch provided was very good, but unfortunately when one is in the dining room, we could not hear the narration of the boat's guide as he pointed out special locations and described some history. As nice as it was to have the lunch, I think that it would be a better experience to wander the boat or sit in one of the several passenger areas, use the snack bar if necessary, and soak in the sights AND the guide's narration.

We had a wonderful time on our family trip to Denmark and Norway which was organized with the help of Kim Kim! We were travelling with 11 people (ages ranging from 3 years old to grandparents) and Kim Kim helped put together a fantastic itinerary, booked excellent accommodations and helped arrange the complex logistics of transportation for a 17 day trip all the way to Tromso in Northern Norway. We started trip planning at least 8 months in advance as we knew we would be travelling in high season. As a result, we were shuffled between a few different local travel specialists (which has never happened before with past trips). But everything worked out and it was wonderful to work with Kadri and her team! We were very impressed with the accommodations booked, the smooth logistics of transportation and small adjustments she made to the itinerary to make for a wonderful Scandinavian adventure! Kadri and her team were very response to any questions we had once we departed and the trip was very smooth. The excursions they recommended and booked were excellent while still allowing for lots of independent time to feel like we were on our own adventure! We especially enjoyed the RIB boat in the fjords of Balestrand and the boat tour out of Oslo. Our family had a blast and we look forward to planning future trips with Kim Kim again!

It was challenging to navigate the check in/out technology. It was also difficult for taxi drivers to find the hotel. We would not recommend this hotel for older travelers, unless tech savvy and in good physical shape. It was difficult not having a person on site to help with questions.

2 min walk from the Stockholm City train station, which made our trip to and from airport, Sigtuna, etc a breeze. The decor in our room was modern (we booked a suite since we are a family of 4 with 2 small children). The included buffet breakfast was great. The entire staff at the hotel was friendly, professional, and helpful. Check in process was easy and quick. The on-line check took mere minutes. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Because Silvia was amazing, I think I would use KimKim again but they are not transparent with fees, don’t have a platform where a detailed day-by-day itinerary can be created without a workaround, and it took the behind the scenes team weeks to book tickets once we had a plan and booked airline tickets which made us nervous some things would no longer be available that had other dependencies. We had to get more into the details and needed to follow-up on some things than expected.
