“Go here for the location and the breakfast.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

We stayed 4 nights at this hotel and we were about 60 people on business.

The rooms are nice, and its easy to get lost due to the long hallways.
We had a party on the roof, it was overlooking some very old churches, it was nice and very relaxing.

This hotel is right infront of the sea boardwalk, and you can walk for miles enjoying the sea breeze, maybe rent a bike or go by segway.

Breakfast was nice, its a big buffe and its a perfect start of the day.
This hotel is down town Visby, and inside the walls of the old hansa town.

In the summer this is where the party people stay so it might be noicy, but this the summer months and visby is a party town for the jet set, this is nothing to be surprised about if going here that time of year.

I will go back with my family in the fall when the champagne popping kids are gone and the older crowd enters visby in September.

Room Tip: Ask for the rooms on the top floor with the big patio, its private and very nice.

“Expensive but not convenient”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

This hotel has been expanding so I cannot tell about the other rooms, but our room was small with minimum facilities. It does not have air conditioning though it costed us $350 a night. It is located at the sea level, that means you can reach it without climbing the hill from a boat but you have to climb up the hill for anything you need.

“Overpriced disappointment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

Overall, what an overpriced disappointment. Let me start with the pros: large room, good closet space, green environment. Cons: NO amenities whatsoever -- only soap was in a squeeze bottle by the sink and in the shower, front desk staff was not friendly or welcoming and some were not knowledgeable, not enough seating in the breakfast area, noisy noisy noisy at night, and EXPENSIVE. I've been to several Best Westerns around the world and this was a bummer.

Room Tip: Ask for a room not overlooking the street.

“great location, great hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2009

person found this review helpful

I really liked this hotel, the location is great and the room was big and clean.
Only negatives were that the breakfast was very busy and that the room window was not keeping out noice (from wind, no traffic).
Would go here again next time in Visby.

“Had trouble finding my room, otherwise perfectly ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2007
2
people found this review helpful

Finding the way to my room was a bit of a challenge, as getting there involved various corridors, stairs and the lift. Well, it is an old building, so it's only natural that the layout is not going to be like that of a modern hotel. ;)
The location is very good, the room was nice enough (I imagine the rooms on the top floor may get a bit hot in the summer though) and the hotel breakfast was perfectly adequate. Would stay there again.
