Best Western Strand Hotel

The hotel is located inside the ring wall and is close to everything which is comfortable. Mostly the staff is very friendly and helpful but unfortunately there are some who are less helpful. The hotel offers parking but cannot be reserved, a tip is to park at the "Kruttornet" which is close by and is much cheaper. Our room was quite spacious but poor ventilation which several other users at TA have complained about, however there is fan in the room which was sufficient when we were visiting. Unfortunately, the internet was really bad in our room and it was simply better to use 4G on mobiles than to use Wifi. The breakfast is ok but quickly becomes full in the mornings and you sometimes have to wait a bit. Only recommend this hotel for its location otherwise there is nothing special that justifies the high price. less

What a find in this amazing walled town I Gotland. Was originally a beer cellar and has been tastefully transformed. Staff couldn't do more for us. Rooms clean Libray for quite moments and stunning breakfast less

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
