This is a typically wonderful Scandic hotel with excellent service, great beds, and decadent breakfasts and is right across the road from the Central Train Station. It also has a good, though oddly painted dark, gym. The outside is safe but a lot of smokers and drunks hang out there.

Pleasant and quiet stay in a comfortable room
Very quiet and peaceful place. Well appointed room. Breakfast verged on a simpler buffet type. Building is on the hill top and in the 1700s or 1800s served as Gotland’s archive. Lovely view of harbour from our bedroom. Well located just a 10-minute walk into the heart of Visby.

Nice but daily maintenance neglected
Nice and cosy small hotel, well situated ,short distance to everything in the old town.
Unfortunately daily maintenance seems to be neglected -in our room safe did not work, hand shower also broken and some spotlights in the roof.
No aircond in the room so can be pretty warm during summertime.

We thoroughly enjoyed this little manor house. Loved the floor heating in the bathroom and the beautiful ancient windows. Absolute best was their breakfast, by far the BEST breakfast I ever had at any hotel around the world.
The only thing that was a bit unusual, we booked the deluxe room and were expecting a sitting area, but only got one chair and a stool at a tiny desk. It did not look like the picture n the internet. It only bugged me on the one day we had rain and hung out in the room for a bit.
Walkable to town without being in the midst of party area at night. Quiet enough to sleep with the windows open.
Loved this experience.

Var städat men lite slitet i badrummet. Det var ganska lyhört både från gatan och mellan rummen.
Frukosten var av enklare karaktär men helt okej.
Fanns parkering på gatan utanför hotellet, 2 timmar fritt därefter mot betalning per timme. Vi var på gotland mitten maj så det fanns mycket parkeringar, kan dock tänka mig att det är svårare att hitta parkering under högsäsongen.
