Hotels near Almedalen, Visby

Great hotel in Visby. Good breakfast and comfortable beds. Very comfortable.

If you have a dog, then this is THE hotel to book if you are visiting Visby! When we arrived we found the dog bed, a blanket, a towel, food bowls and a small bag with two treats, two poop bags and a welcome letter! Extremely nice feeling! Just love it! The staff was all super friendly as well.

We actually stayed in this hotel in June 22 not July, but are very late writing our review. We stayed for midsummer weekend in one of the apartment suites. I must say that the first thing we thought when we stepped in the room was, ”I wonder if the hotel have made a mistake”. Our apartment honestly looked like it should have been 3 times what we paid for it. It's a historic building and the rooms are tastefully authentic. In short, they're just gorgeous!! My husband and I travel a lot and agree it's one of the coolest we've ever stayed! The staff we're great, happy and friendly. Always on hand to answer any need. Breakfast was in the main building. It had a lovely selection every day. In fact we arrived late for breakfast one morning but they were more than happy accommodate us.

The hotel is located in the old town of Visby, with a rich breakfast and worth a stay. Toothbrushes and slippers should be brought by yourself.

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!

Wonderful hotel, perfect location just a few minute's walk from Stora Torget. Clean, cozy rooms, fantastic breakfast, pleasant staff, very reasonably priced. Plenty of street parking available when we were there (beginning of May). (*) There is, however something we'd like to point out. In order to conserve water, the hotel encourages its guests to ”say no to room cleaning”, to keep washing towels and bed linens to a minimum. Great in theory, especially if you are only there a few nights. We had a longer stay, and would have appreciated our room being tidied up a bit (after all, we're paying the service). Since no staff came in the room, towards the end of our stay, we had to hunt down toilet paper and shower gel, and our trash can was overflowing. Luckily we were able to get hold of the receptionist before she left for the day to get a new TP roll. Most hotels clean rooms daily, and change towels when guests request that. The universal ”throw towels on the bathroom floor if you want new ones” would have worked well at Hotell Slottsbacken. We were left with the feeling that while we were trying to be environmentally conscious, we were giving the cleaning crew a free pass. That said, we would absolutely stay at Hotell Slottsbacken again if we ever return to Gotland.

The service was excellent, extremely helpful reception team. An example of the helpfulness, we arrived around 6 AM and I asked about when we could expect to check in to the room in order to plan our day. The unexpected answer was we will clean your room first as soon as the cleaning staff arrives, so around 9:30 we could check in. The customer in center when solving problems instead of hiding behind policies, amazing attitude!

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.
