We checked in late. Location was good. Our room with private toilet and bathroom was fresh and clean. The staff was helpful and very dog friendly. Our dog got his own bed and water and food bowls. The only thing got us disappointed was the price for 1 night 2256kr. That was overpriced. The place did not have an elevator. We could have stayed at other hotel with swimming pool and breakfast.

Svårt med bilparkering, personalen borde kunna hjälpa till. Tvålkoppar i dusch/wc fungerade inte under två dygn trots tillsägelse. Vid arrangemang utanför borde dörrarna stängas så att inte obehöriga gå in. Ppl utanför är svindyra!

Trötta medeltidare fick någonstans att sova med kort varsel sista natten innan färjan hem. Väldigt nöjda allihop. Extra stort tack till den hjälpsamma receptionisten som hjälpte oss när det hade blivit fel antal personer i bokningen så att vi fick sovplats alla 4!

Ostädat rum, tog lång tid att checka in utan att få information om vad som var fel. Väldigt lyhört vilket var väldigt jobbigt när städarna på super tidigt på morgonen och slog i flera dörrar. Toaletterna och duschrummen var smutsiga och luktade kiss.

Rent och fräscht och kändes relativt nyrenoverat. Trevlig personal. Smidigt med bagageförvaring. Bra mottagande av hund med både hundbädd och skålar på rummet vid ankomst. Små rum (celler) precis som väntat. Ligger en kort promenad från färjeterminalen precis där Visby ’börjar’. Skulle gärna bo här igen. Enda minuset är dörrbromsen som är av en variant som pekar rakt in mot rummet och hamnar på en ganska låg höjd, dock markerad med gulsvart varningstejp.

Vi bodde i en liten studio med 4 bäddar (2 i ett separat rum), badrum och ett välutrustad kök. Enkel men skinande ren och i perfekt skick. Mkt prisvänlig, perfekt för en grupp vänner eller en liten familj som vill bo centralt i Visby. Underbar och språkkunnig personal!

En karta så att gästen hittar det som finns tillgängligt. Stod att det fanns två kök men hittade bara ett. Skulle vara bra om det fanns en hylla där folk kan lämna böcker och spel som de har tröttnat på till de andra gästerna.

Det var rent och så på rummet men stökigt utanför, antar att det berodde delvis på ombyggnad på g. Vår lägenhet hade inga fönster, bara skjutdörren, som även var ytterdörr. För att få luft var vi tvungna att ha denna lite på glänt, men överraskades då i stället av en herre i kalsonger som gått fel och hamnade i vårt rum och la sig i en av underslafarna (där det tack och lov inte låg någon annan) i stället för sitt eget klockan mitt i natten. Alternativ ventilationsmöjlighet vore att föredra. Baren utanför var jättetrevlig. Läget i stan kanon, mitt emellan gamla stan och färjan.
