Categories

Cleanliness
8.4
Rooms described as clean in several reviews (German/English guest explicitly noted a clean room); minor maintenance issues noted (shower fixtures) but overall cleanliness is positive.
Service
8.5
Many guests praised reception staff as charming, helpful and accommodating (including multilingual help); a few notes about 'tidvis ingen personal' (occasionally no staff) reduce the score slightly.
Location
9
Repeatedly praised: close to the port, just outside the city wall, easy walk to centre/ferry terminal — consistently positive across reviews.
Room Quality
7.2
Mixed: some guests found rooms comfortable with sea view, others reported hard beds, bathroom in need of renovation, broken bedside lamp and showerhead issues — maintenance/comfort concerns lower this score.
Amenities
7.6
Basic amenities (electric kettle, tea) and a pleasant lobby mentioned positively; however no minibar/fridge in rooms and inconsistent parking availability create mixed impressions.
Value for Money
8.6
Several guests explicitly noted good price–quality or value for money; overall perceived as good value despite some room/parking drawbacks.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Breakfast repeatedly described as excellent/phenomenal with wide selection (bread, cold cuts, muesli, waffle iron); a few minor comments on variety (more herring/roll types) but overall very strong.
Overall Experience
7.9
Generally positive overall (many would return or recommend, staff praised, great breakfast and location) but tempered by parking problems and some room maintenance issues.

Ich bin froh dieses Hotel gebucht zu haben
Pros:

[DE/ENG]

Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen, und Preis-Leistungs-technisch war es sehr sehr gut. Das Empfangspersonal war sehr charmant und von Minute eins an hilfsbereit. Ob bei der Auswahl von Restaurants, Auskunft über Attraktionen in Vsiby (mit Karte) oder Empfehlungen für Reiseziele wurden wir gut beraten. Es wurde sich sogar extra bemüht mit uns deutsch zu sprechen. (Meiste Gespräche waren trotzdem auf english weil es für uns beide besser war aber dennoch sehr sehr zuvorkommend)

Das Zimmer war sauber und hatte den Charm eines eher alten Hauses und war dennoch wohlig warm. Die Ausstattung belief sich auf einen Tisch mit Stuhl, einen Sessel, einem Bett und einem Badezimmer. Geräte wie Wasserkocher und Teebeutel wurden uns auch gratis zur Verfügung gestellt.

Das Frühstück war phänomenal, es gab eine große Auswahl von Brot, Wurst, bishin zu Müsli und sogar einem Waffeleisen mit dem man selber Waffeln machen konnte. (Das Frühstück wurde auch frequentiert vom Personal nachgefüllt also gab es nie Mangel)

Insgesamt haben wir uns in Visby und das Solhem verliebt und würden irgendwann gerne wiederkommen.

We really enjoyed our stay. The reception staff were very charming and helpful from the very first minute. Whether it was choosing restaurants, providing information about attractions in Visby (complete with a map), or offering recommendations for other placed to visit.

The room was clean and possessed the charm of an older building, while remaining comfortably warm. A electric kettle and tea bags were also provided free of charge.

The breakfast was phenomenal; there was a wide selection, ranging from bread and cold cuts to muesli they even have an old-fashioned waffle iron.

We fell in love with visby and the solhem and hope to return someday.
