Best Western Strand Hotel

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

Very service minded staff in this nice in the middle of town hotel. Breakfast is great and in is in a waking distance from the harbor, about 15-20 minutes walk. Beds are great and shower and bathroom is clean with nice towels, though the are rather small. The room is small, no refrigerator or minibar. Bring your own shampoo. The eating area is really nice, but crowded when hotel is fully booked. The cozynesss is worth the stay, I liked it very much. less

We stayed for the weekend at this nice hotel which is located about 10 minutes walk from the port and a few minutes walk from the city centre. The hotel is old, and charming.The room was comfortable and the wardrobe had enough space for clothes. The bathroom was well equiped, but missed bathroom amenities like shower cap, hand soap and body lotion. The restaurant and bar is at the lobby and atrium level has a good selection and reasonable prices. The breakfast was perfect, it has all tou would like to ask. Overall a good budget hotel at a great location. less

The hotel is dated and certainly not luxurious but it serves the purpose of a good budget hotel, located in the centre of the town and great as a base for exploring Visby. You certainly wouldn't want to spend much longer there than was necessary. We received no help with our luggage up 2 flights of steep stairs as the lift was broken and when we entered our room the windows were smashed which the reception claimed they already knew about. Apparently it's a common occurence after a weekend in the summer. We were offered two rooms miles away from eachother which was not suitable at all. Rooms were absolutely boiling as there was no air-conditioning but understable for a country where high temperatures are the exception rather than the rule. Breakfast was extensive but staff were low on the ground so you had to wait a long time for anyone to assist you when things inevitably ran out. Coffee was from a machine but I suppose it all tastes similar. The pool was very small but clean and functional. The bathroom was a bit of a state with somebody else's hair on the floor and could do with a deep clean on the grouting but it was okay if you kept your flip flops on. Bed was comfortable and adaptable too which was novel. less

We stayed for the weekend at this nice hotel in the middle of the Old Town. When booking our stay, we asked for a room with the seeview, but we got a room facing a neighbours terrace, which we didn’t like. The friendly staff made us move to a room with better view, as all rooms with the sea view were already occupied. The room was comfortable and the wardrobe had enough space for clothes. The bathroom was well equiped, but bathroom amenities like shower cap, hand soap and body lotion were missing. The breakfast buffet was perfect, there was everything you could ask for. We did enjoy our stay and we can recommend the Strand Hotel to other Visby visitors. less
