    Slightly weird room layout for a hotel but actually very efficient. Locked up kitchen cabinets (maybe they open if you request?) loved having kettle for tea coffee.

    Beautiful comfy lobby. On a path to/from ferry so wonderful location for those who don’t want to take taxi. Nice staff. Great breakfast.

    There was only one tiny table for everything and glass surface, so it was hard to work with laptop. No microwave means it was impossible to heat most of the food.

    Property has convenient location, friendly staff, a big size room for this money.

    The room was in the older part of the hotel I think, it was quite run-down and not very fresh unfortunately. The mattress was a tad bit too soft causing me some back issues.

    Great location, great breakfast buffet, spacious room.

    The room could have been just a little cleaner/less dusty, although it didn't feel exactly dirty. The window looked out to the parking lot. A better view would've been nice but not necessary.

    The location was great. Very quiet, close to the centre, bus station and ferry terminal. The breakfast was very rich and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The bedroom was comfortable and had everything we needed.

    We arrived late, after the opening hours of the reception, and it was a little tricky to find the key cards in the dark. Luckily another guest arrived a few minutes later. She had visited the hotel before and knew exactly where to find them. She did mention, though, that she had same problem the first time she visited the hotel. Also, the signposts in the parking lot were, in my opinion, not very clear.

    The location is brilliant, close to the ferry terminal and the old city centre. There is plenty of free parking spaces and a supermarket 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The rooms and views are great, and the breakfast is excellent.

    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.

    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.

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

    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."

    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.

    The bed was a bit too firm for my tastes - but that is admittedly a matter of taste.

    Comfy, spacious room with a lovely city view. Very close to the habor and the old town. Friendly staff, great selection at breakfast, and I was able to check in very early! Overall, I was very happy with my one-night stay and thought this hotel offered good value for the money!

    The chairs in the room were uncomfortable.

    The room was very large, the bathroom was good size, the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good. Decor was attractive. We liked the private balcony outside the room. The location was excellent, just outside the city wall, also close to the ferry terminal.

    Bathroom smelled a little bad. The two mattresses in the bed were sliding. The room’s interior design could have been more modern (in comparison with the super modern lobby)

    Good location. Not too far from the city center, but very peaceful. Great breakfast buffet. A lot of options. Friendly staff.

    There was no safety box in the room.

    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.
