building itself was very old and that create some minor issues, e.g. main door stairs were a bit worned out etc. However, nice small hotel + location was great - very easy to access downtown + easy to get out from the town (buy car). Breakfast Ok, also for food restriction one's. No complains for room service/cleaning

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.

Bra rum men lite lyhört.
Fint hotell med bra parkeringsmöjligheter innanför murarna. Dock lite lyhört mellan rummen och eftersom AC saknas fick jag ha öppet fönster med trafik utanför mkt tidigt på morgonen.

Skulle bare bruge det som start på Gotlandsleden og vi kom sent ind på færgen, men alt var på plads og det var nemt at komme ind med kode som var blevet sendt inden. Værelset var dejligt og morgenmad gave en god start på cykelferie, vi var lidt kede af vi ikke var der en dag mere.
