Visby Hotels with Balcony

I can't say enough about this place. First, it's in easy walking distance (10 minutes over cobblestones) of the ferry from Nynashamn. Kalk is located on a charming street beside a small section of the medieval wall that surrounds/surrounded Visby. You can walk out the door and be close to old church ruins and the town center with its many restaurants. And in the morning, you'll enjoy the best free breakfast we had in Sweden, which is saying something. The rooms are comfortable, wonderfully appointed (the tiles are made of Gotland stone with fossils) and the beds terrific. Our room on the second floor had a nice view of the charming narrow streets and houses below. Higher up (and more expensive) rooms have balconies and a view of the water, but we didn't spring for those. The service is terrific. The helpful woman at the front desk helped us arrange a car rental to visit the island of Fârö to the north, which was well worth the trip. The front desk closes after 6:00pm, but it's easy to let yourself in. If you like small, unique hotels, this is an exemplar of one. I still dream about that breakfast.

Very worth experiencing the cabin, although mini but everything is equipped, there is a small yard! If a family of four stays, the price is too high! Unfortunately, I booked for one night, if I come next time, I must book a few more days in advance! Before leaving, I met the staff who came to clean, very enthusiastic, and helped me find the next hotel! A great experience! My son also likes it! It should be noted that bedding (sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases) bath towels and toiletries should also be provided by themselves or asked them to pay for rent. This is also the norm in most homestays or apartments in Northern Europe!

If you have a car, you must pay for parking ($26 for 3 days). It can be noisy if you face the main road. No shelf or counter space in bathroom. Breakfast offering are extensive, but it can be crowded and you must book a time slot the night before. Lots of electric outlets in room. Walking distance to Old Visby. Helpful staff. Close to ferry.

First of all I would like to point out that I didn’t in fact stay here, but popped in for a coffee to warm myself after a long walk to Högklint and back. They have a small bar/café /restaurant where they serve lunch. I ordered a Cappuccino, and received it beautifully served on a small wood plank together with a couple of pieces of chocolate. It tasted lovely, and service was quick, efficient and friendly. To be recommended!

I do agree with one of the previous posters, when I booked on booking.com I thought this was a hotel....like all other hotels I've ever been at but it's not. This is a 'self-service' ”hotel”....almost like an AirBnB I guess. You check yourself in with a door code, and a code for the lock box - there is no front desk, just a cleaning person making up the rooms...but you could use a special code for the luggage storage room if you arrived early and store your luggage. That was great for us as we arrived at 11:30am. When we returned at later that afternoon, We were fortunate the cleaner happened to be still there making up rooms because our code didn't open our rooms key box. She was able to access for us which saved us having to e-mail/ call the hotel line....which would have been a pain since in Sweden we did not have a phone data plan. But on the upside the room was very comfortable and pretty well kept, I loved the air conditioning and the full kitchen - great for making a quick bite. The location is in the old town of Visby - very close to the gate leading to a few shops, I didn't find any street noise whatsoever but some rooms I suppose may. It was a bit odd too having to take out the garbage and wash up and put away your dishes...but I understand it keeps the costs down. It's worth staying here if you'd like to prepare a few of your own meals as the kitchenette is well stocked, but if you're used to asking the front desk for restaurant recommendations, directions or anything at all for that matter....well you may want to go elsewhere.
