Staff and Service: The staff received overwhelming praise for their friendliness, attentiveness, and willingness to assist, with users mentioning that they 'went the extra mile.'

This quirky old hotel with its pink flamingo theme was a delight to stay in. We stayed in the largest room, a corner room with multiple windows facing in two directions on the top floor, room 402. It had a king size 4 poster bed, a living area with capacious and comfortable couch and chairs, and a spacious, pristine bathroom. A small wardrobe easily accommodated our hanging clothing, but there was not much space for other clothes. In addition to photos of 402, I took a photo of rooms 406 and of 407 (while housekeeping was making up the rooms) - I will attach them to this review; they will be single room pics at the end in that order. The bar area is warm and inviting, and the breakfast room is the most charming we have ever seen. The breakfast offered fantastic variety, with all foods properly labelled to avoid allergies – without a doubt, the best of all of the 5-star hotels we stayed in on this trip. The hotel’s location was exquisite – quiet at night (if you get a room far from the bar downstairs) but in the heart of the old town within walking distance to the most popular sites. We put on 25,000 steps in our one full day in Malmo, and saw most of the key sites. Malmo surprised us with its old-world charm and friendliness on the one hand, and its progressive, innovative vibe on the other. The shortcomings in this hotel were: 1. The early checkout, time of 11 AM (most hotels of this calibre allow check out at noon); 2. The lack of face cloths in the bathroom, not unusual for European hotels, but inconvenient (we brought our own); and 3. The lack of telephones in the rooms - we had to get dressed and go to the reception to ask even the simplest and shortest of questions. Those shortcomings are the reason for my 4 star rating. Overall, the positives outweighed the shortcomings by a wide margin, and we would recommend this hotel.

Cool.
