Best Western Strand Hotel

I stayed at BW Strandhotel from Monday, June 3 to Saturday June 8, 2019. I only got at the hotel on June 3rd, at 11:00 p.m. with no suitcase, as it had not been transferred from Stockholm to Visby. The airport phone me on Tuesday June 4th at 10:30 a.m. that I could recover my luggage. Which I did: when I arrived with it at 11.30 a.m at the hotel, I asked the young man - who was making up my room - to come back later because I needed to change to go to my conference. He went of but DID NOT DO my room on Monday... Bizarre... The next day, a young lady was doing the room and everything seemed fine. There are some minor details where the hotel was not quite up to the mark: - the paper towel box was empty - the soap box in the shower was empty.... less

Spent a night. Disappointed in the quality of the pillows, i was expecting an amazing sleep for the price we paid but the pillows were cheap and not at all comfortable. Weird diagonal angle of the bed which made the room feel really small. Breakfast was ok, not really great. Oily, wet/soggy bacon and meh eggs, dry bread. Cold and way too strong coffee. Forgot my charger in the room and emailed asking about it, didn't get an answer. A month later I was nearby so i went in and asked and they had it (after standing a while waiting for someone of the 5 people behind the counter to notice/talk to me), so why didn't they just answer my email? Not really worth the price but I guess if you have to stay somewhere it's ok, though personally I would choose a different hotel. Staff was blasé and felt like we were just a hassle for them except for the girl at checkout who was really nice, i think she was called Tindra. Won't be staying here again. less

The hotel is well located and easy to access. There are parking places too, but the city is not easy to drive through. The timing was perfect, because there was not too many people walking around the city and occupying the restaurants. It's worthwhile to visit the local liquor shop, Systembolaget at Ostervag 3, outside the old town at about 09.55 - 10.00 AM to see how quickly the "busy" street becomes empty when Systembolaget opens at 10..00 AM. Visby is a must to visit in case you visit Sweden. less

This is a very good hotell near "where it happens". The restaurand is a good breakfast restaurant but not very attractive for dinners. The location is dark ( after restoration) ana abitb unfriendly, in my opinion. Unfortunately this is not a restaurant you recommend your friends to go to for a good dinner. less

Nicely kept budget hotel centrally located, friendly and helpful front desk staff. Cozy lobby area. However difficult/impossible to find seats in the breakfast restaurant which seems to be too small until 9:30 for the number of rooms/guests in the weekend. less
