Best Western Solhem Hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Ellen at the front desk was delightful and very helpful throughout our stay, answering many questions with patience and accuracy. Her assistance definitely made our visit much easier and more enjoyable. Breakfast was a huge buffet with a large variety of hot and cold items. One could eat outside or inside, but if you eat outside don’t leave your food unattended due to friendly birds. There are about 12 free parking spaces in front of the hotel as well as free parking in the neighboring street. If there is no free parking, there is for-pay parking behind the hotel, paid for at the front desk. Our room was clean and met our expectations. It included a nice balcony which was unexpected where we enjoyed our takeaway pizza Al fresco. The hotel is located steps from the Visby medieval wall so it is very easy to walk into and from town to visit the sites and eat. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

Great location close to the center of Visby and a short 500m walk from the ferry terminal. Close to everything without being in the middle of everything.

Parking is very limited. If you don't need a car to tour the rest of the island, I would recommend not getting one or renting one for just the days or times you need it. There are lots of taxis available and a couple of rental car locations within walking distance. There are only a few spaces belonging to the hotel in the front that are free, (and usually full) otherwise there is a small lot behind the hotel owned by another party that charges by the hour and it can get expensive if you need to park there for longer periods. There is no "daily rate."

Good location right outside the old city in a quiet place, close to the ferry terminal, bus terminal and a big supermarket. Spacious room, clean facilities, comfy fluffy beds. The hotel is very cozy and the breakfast is good! The room has a sea view which was very pretty!

The windows provide no sound insulation. Our room faced a parking lot with noisy tourist buses and people chatting around them, and also a popular picknick spot, so no evening privacy unless you keep the curtains closed haha :)) The room interior was rather worn. I find the hotel rates overpriced. No safe or fridge in the room.

Breakfast was amazing! And we had the view to the sea from our room. We could watch beautiful sunsets. Location is very convenient.

I had a bit higher expectation because of the pictures and the price. The room, in my opinion, needs some renovation. And there was loud music outside sometimes, that we couldn't avoid even if we close the window.

Very good breakfast, comfortable lobby

Late check in after 2300 requires to inquire extra, as there is no more staff, so you need to be informed of the door code. My written inquiry got no reply, so I had to call the hotel. However, staff is very reliable, I found my envelope with the room key exactly at the location where advised. Until then, I was a bit tense whether things would work out as advised. Yes, it did. But my being tense is something that males me uncomfortable.

The location was great close to the ferry terminal and east walking distance to Visby old town. It was very comfortable.

The staffs limited English made it difficult at times. We ordered a breakfast pack the night before as we had an early ferry the next morning. Our meal pack order wasn’t received by the kitchen staff. Created an uncomfortable conversation that morning as the morning staff could not speak English. Lucky I knew some Swedish.

We stayed twice in this hotel, traveled by bike with a toddler and a small dog. We received great help and kindenss. The staff is very helpful. Also a huge thank you to the cleaning staff, who was patient, helpful and very professional. The breakfast is perfect, great variety also for who likes sweets!

The first room we stayed in was a bit less appropriate for a toddler (he could climb to the window! Because windows are lower than usual, which gives a nice character to the place but is really dangerous for the little ones). If you travel with bikes/trailers, the elevator is small so it does not allow to carry trailers up easily. The staff will help you figure out where to store your property in safety!

Best Western Solhem Hotel is located just outside the old city wall of Visby. It is near the centre and above the harbour but still very peacefull during the night. The breadfast buffet was excellent with many delicious cold and warm choices. The rooms were more modern and clean than the house looks like from the outside. We had a beautiful view to the sea and sun set.

There was no safety box in the room.

Great location with the city within easy walking distance. The breakfast was really good - one of the best ones in a while. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel was cozy and clean - some parts were in need of a renovation/redoing but some parts had been modernized (interior in the common areas etc.).

The hotel was a bit outdated and old in some parts. You can see it’s an old hotel. Still, everything was clean and working.

* Nice building adjacent to the wall. This made navigation very easy as I could always find the hotel by following the wall no matter where I went. * Staff were kind enough to let me stow my bag even after I checked out * Breakfast buffet was good * Internet was fast, ~100 Mbps and very stable

* The desk had a pane of glass on it which isn't ideal for some mice. I ended up using a sheet of paper to get my mouse to track properly * Shower head was leaking a lot, managed to fix this myself by tightening it * Reception closes before the check in time (???) which means you gotta let yourself in using the provided door code and find your room keys in a basket full of envelopes. Kinda bizarre. * Clock on the TV was ~30 minutes fast
