Kristianstad Hotels with Pets allowed

Located in the centre of Kristianstad this hotel is within walking distance from pretty much everything. We stayed in two rooms for one night. The rooms were clean and sufficient. Staff was welcoming and serviceminded. This is basically standard three star hotel without any surprises. Not bad, but no wow-feeling either. Breakfast was buffet-style and sufficient. They made sure to provide hand sanitizer and gloves at the buffet. The lounge area was really cosy. Gym and sauna on the premises. (Check for opening hours though due to Covid19) Plus for serviceminded staff, minus for the absence of bacon at breakfast. Would stay here again!

It's sad to see a quality brand's reputation being downgraded by its secondary business. This is the case for Duxiana, the excellent bed maker's venture into hotels is filled with doubts of synergies, which I got to experience first hand. I stayed at this hotel due to business purposes. During the check-in, there was a private event held in the the (tiny) dinner area in conjunction with the reception - having to constantly move around my bags while people tried to pass by was not the start of, what I envisioned, would be a calm evening after a long days work. Next, I had to park my car, which they charge you more for compared to street parking. The parking space provided by the hotel has this extremely long and narrow entrance, so if you have a lengthened wheelbase car or SUV, forget about parking here. Next: the rooms. The rooms don't use key cards, but opts for a physical key. When entering the room (mine was a double room), you'll strangely find the shower cramped into the left (where there probably has been an old closet). Really, really strange. The bathroom is small and not up to date (and they won't provide you with neither body lotion nor conditioner, but only a two-in-one hand wash/body wash). Also strange is that the ”place your towels on the floor”-sign didn't have the Duxiana corporate logo in it, maybe it was the last hotel's name? Nevertheless, the rooms were decently clean and the beds are obviously very comfy and I slept like a baby. The next morning, I had breakfast down in the dining room. OK assortment, but I was a bit disappointed when they didn't have porridge. All in all, and sub-par experience, and they certainly have a lot to learn from their big brother in Malmö.

The location is super! Better can't go. All was reachable within minutes. The rooms are beautiful and the bed is comfortable. The bathroom was OK. No shower for whirlpool. Pretty inappropriate for shower. The service was rather deficient for such a local hotel. The bar was not open in the evening ( Tuesday). Under the week there is only until 8:30 or 9:00 breakfast. For early rising super but otherwise rather stressful. The tomatoes were sparkling. All the other was good eating.
