Stayed here for two nights. Have to say the quality of the hotel is in desperate need of a refresh. It is such a beautiful building and has immense potential but needs the care and money to update it to a current four star standard. The bedrooms are quite untidy and dusty. The carpet on the stairs in so worn... More

The rooms were spacious but very poorly cleaned, furniture was old and tatty, TV from 1969... The beds were made when we came but very slovenly done no fluffing of cushions and easy on the eye soft furnishings here im afraid. The bathroom was spacious but very old and needed renovating and fixing a great deal. The breakfast room was... More

Worn out rooms. Not enough space to eat breakfast. Poor quality food for breakfast. Poor soundproofing against the main street.

I stayed here for one night. Location is great and the building is fantastic. Sadly there is a need for renovation both for the rooms and in the rest of the building. I can't accept that the bathroom is 20 years old for that kind of price.

We got a wonderful room on 4:th floor facing the park. We liked the size, the big windows facing the park, the very height. I am very sensitive to noise, but here it was no problem. But if you are like me, be sure to get a room not lower than 3:rd floor. (Don´t choose the dull backside.) The beds... More

We stayed one night in the hotel on a weekend discounted rate. The lobby seems grand but is just a facade. Once inside, the decor and furnishings have definitely seen better days. We were first given a room with peeling paint and stains on the walls. When we asked for another, we were offered a fifth floor room in the... More

Spent a nice romantic weekend at this hotel. The room was a quiet and fine double room with nothing to complain about. Not luxuary nor extravagant interior, but a very charming building with Its own cosy atmosphere. A three course dinner was included one night. Not gourmet level, but acceptable. Breakfast was fine. Helpful and nice smiling staff. Nice restaurants... More

Having stayed at the Christian IV in Kristianstad two nights in the summer of 2008, we cannot recommend the hotel. When we arrived a very timid receptionist just handed us the key to a narrow dark room with a view straight into a yellowish brick wall and with the noise of ventilators. Walking back to the reception we asked for... More
