Visby hotels near Visby Cathedral

Pros: A very cosy hotell right in the middle of the old part of Visby town. The staff was very helpfull also with planning trips on the island. Good beds and a nice and clean bathroom. Plenty of spaces so sit outside in the garden. Since the hotell does not sell alcoholic drinks, you are allowed to bring your own and glasses are made available. Breakfast was plentiful and delicat. Coffee and tea is available all day. On the saturday we were offered tradisjonal safran pancake. Even ruins of an old church were part of the hotell.

Cons: The place was a bit hard to find even though the hotell had given us driving directions. Parking space was very narrow. Besides this there is nothing we did not like and we recommend this hotell for a stay in the beautiful little town Visby.

Pros: Lovely breakfast, absolutely amazing staff, they give you free fika on Saturday afternoons, room was beautiful and very spacious.

Cons: The room was quite warm and there was no way to regulate the heat. Luckily windows did open.

Pros: Great location, with the church ruin attached, garden to sit in. Staff very friendly and helpful, great breakfast with plenty of choice (smoothies were especially good). Nice and quiet but close to everything.

Cons: The room was a little warm, but that was because of a problem with the heating, which was if not fixed at least improved once I pointed it out.

Pros: I loved the location, next to the ruined church and the botanical garden . I loved the garden for sitting in if an evening. The staff were incredibly friendly too. Oh, and I like the free coffee.

Pros: Staff was soooo helpful! Breakfast was over the top delicious and location was central and walking to city wall and tower was perfect.

Pros: Helpful, friendly staff. Äsa was a pleasure to deal with, providing information and guidance to make our stay very rewarding. The detailed and thoughtful amenities and the outdoor garden settings made relaxing at the end of the day entirely pleasant. Breakfast was excellent, both in range and quality of food. The location was also great, right next to the park and close to the cathedral and the Town square with well-stacked supermarket.

Cons: AC in room would have made the unusually hot weather during our visit more comfortable.

Pros: A wonderful hotel for families. The location is close to everything in medieval Visby, but also quiet and secluded. Our room was spacious for the 4 of us (2 adults, 2 young children), very comfortable & spotlessly clean. Breakfast was great- plentiful and delicious; staff courteous and very helpful. The children were thrilled with their "very own" ruin in the garden- able to play and wander around the ruined building of St Clemens. We were spoilt with the weather which added to the enjoyment of our wonderful Easter break. (Complete with Easter witches parade through the old town of Visby.)

Cons: There was nothing that we didn't like. Just as a side note, if you take a car, be prepared to leave your key, so they can manage the parking space logistics. We had no problems with doing that and it all worked fine, even with our 4 bikes on the car. The staff make it smooth and painfree for guests, but just wanted to mention this so you know what to expect. (The staff emailed us beforehand to also tell us about this, which was very good communication. As well as giving us very clear instructions on how to get to the hotel.)

Pros: All the wonderfully warm caring helpful staff. History of the hotel and hotel itself. Lovely garden/courtyard. Access to one of the ruins directly from the hotel. Location. Breakfast & coffee/tea service throughout the day! I took my parents visiting from Tokyo to Visby and stayed here and they absolutely loved it!

Pros: Great shower. Modern amenities with old Swedish flavour. Excellent breakfast. Helpful and friendly staff.

Pros: Historic and authentic place, cozy atmosphere, great location, nice and friendly staff, wonderful, typically Swedish breakfast buffet.

Cons: Our room was extremely small, a bit cold and damp. The double bed was only 140 cm - if this was indicated at the time of my booking I missed it. I would not have booked it if I had known...

Pros: All good and functional with a nice room. Close to all the town action but far enough away to be quiet.

Cons: Parking could be a problem here and more information about the island attractions would be appreciated at checkin

Pros: Quiet, clean, comfortable with helpful attentive staff.

Pros: I liked the location. Very close to the old town and close to the commercial and touristical streets.

Cons: The rooms lack of AC. So it is warm in during the summer.

Pros: Location, well appointed room and staff is exceptionally helpful- outstanding

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great comfy bed, luxurious room, great variety and quality for breakfast, extra thick curtains so that no light gets in even during Swedish midsummer, friendly staff (although sometimes the reception is unmanned and you have to look for them, but that was not a big problem), strategic and beautiful location.

Cons: Soundproofing. Was staying on the third floor, the door that leads to the corridor shuts with a great noise which made me jump from my sleep quite a few times. Internal soundproofing could be better in general (no issue with external noise however), which is quite hard to change, but at least they could start with changing the loud doors.

Pros: Old building converted to hotel. Wonderful atmosphere. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Cons: All main floors served by elevator but outside staircase to the entrance hard to negotiate with a heavy suitcase.

Pros: We changed our arrangements at the last minute and the hotel staff managed to accomodate us. We were allocated a beautiful apartment not far from the Hotel. I cannot thank the staff enough for their hospitality and the ease of managing our booking.

Cons: We didn't spend enough time in Visby!

Pros: very nice room, close to centre of visby, parking slots on request, good breakfast

Pros: Perfect with carpark behind the hotel. Yoy need to book though.

Pros: Great structure and position

Cons: Terrible mattress

Pros: Lovely old building with nice public spaces.

Cons: Small room. Emotional pressure to not have your room cleaned. Photos suggest pool is included but in fact had to book and pay extra. Litter in the lift.

Pros: I liked: 1. How easy made the reception the check-in for us out of regular working time. 2. Organization, cleanliness and variety of things for breakfast. 3. Bathroom cleanliness

Cons: The bedroom's window could not be opened unless I had wanted other guests to see me. I mean when I was out of the bathroom of course.

Pros: Location is great

Cons: It is dark. Not clean. Not very updated and not really good value for money. We Stayed in four different hotels when visiting Gotland. All at the same price but all of them with more service minded staff, and much nicer and cleaner rooms and facilities.

Pros: The breakfast was OK, nothing special, not super duper. The location is very good, at most center part.

Cons: The room is smaller then on the pictures at the website, at least twice smaller. The hotel were cheating on the picture on the booking com - that's for sure. One of the reception girls were not very pleasant and at that moment when we just arrived reception were "understaffed" (lack of stuff and too many people in queue waiting). The other reception girl next day were quite nice, and helpful. The beds are too soft, and so the sleep is fine but my back asks for more harder mattress at the hotel bed. But the price/facilities value I consider is overpriced, but that's Sweden - everything is overpriced here in compare with other Europe. The swimming pool at SPA of the hotel you need to pay extra if you want to visit, at 4 star hotel! (terrible) In general Gotland is fine and the city look very nice, but it is very cold! We were freezing at the end of the June! When at my country (where I am from) it was +33, there at Gotland it were +14 in the morning and +16/17 in the day with freezing sea wind (all the days were like that, no exceptions)! Not the best place to visit at the summer if you want to get summer warmth, I was wearing autumn clothes to feel good, when at the same time Swedish were walking half naked, that was freaking me out (it is absolutely ridiculous to see how they build there resorts with swimming pools - this is complete waste at such a weather, I would never swim at 16 degree of the air, I am not a Baltic Sea seal or a seagull). And the most ridiculous is when I saw an aqua-park! It is open air and air was +15/16, it was like a fridge! Swedish were happily splashing in the water, when I was in long sleeve jacket with covered head, warm pants, socks and closed shoes. The cold wind was bone piercing, but Swedish consider its a fine weather, so they were swimming, no problem for them. I was shocked. Probably those people just had an reincarnation as a walrus in previous life's ;)

Pros: the place is very nice old space with vaults and very nice furnishing and decoration the breakfast was really astonishing... some kind of perfect! the location allows to wander around the inner Visby town.

Cons: the bathroom sounds a little old and not as good looking as the rest the staff did not look for very much helping or satisfying us. They close the swimming pool quite early and really do not want to give you five mn extra to test it... then we could not swim, because it was closed all the time...

Pros: The location!

Cons: Our room was facing toward the street and we could hear the sound of the recycling truck gathering glass bottles really early in the morning.

Cons: Only an internal window that would not open in bedroom. Lights didn’t work. Unhelpful staff. Very poor value for money.

Pros: The bar and hotel setting was very nice.

Cons: Difficult to sleep, rooms to warm and AC was very poor.

Pros: Amazing room. So much character and style.

Cons: In low season breakfast is served in another hotel. It’s only a couple of hundred meters down the street but anyhow. You should also change the hangers from the mix of crappy plastic ones from here and there to something a bit more in line with the rest of the experience.

Pros: Breakfast old style furniture

Cons: Mattress too soft, similar to an hammock

Pros: Very good location in the centre of Visby. The neighbourhood is lovely. Our room was small but cosy and there was a big bathroom. The breakfast in the very nice medieval style room is copious and varied. The buildings are authentic and perfect for a medieval style holiday.

Cons: We were staying in the annex, which is in another street. No problem, but we got a wrong key and unclear directions. The receptionist would call us when we could check in, but she didn’t (although she had checked the phone number). The second day our room was not cleaned!! When we called the reception we had to get new towels ourselves (!) from another hotel a block away. Oh yes, and the jacuzzi that was mentioned by the receptionist didn’t work!! They were going to check it but we received no further news on that...

Pros: - First, the staff! Lovely Ellen at the reception was so sweet and incredibely helpful! - The room we booked was unavailable so we were moved to a huge 3-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and a living room and so much space and sunlight (at no extra cost). It was AMAZING! - Breakfast buffet was delicious. - The decor, while slightly overwhelming, is pretty spectacular! - Everything was perfectly clean. - Perfect location, bang in the middle of the town centre.

Cons: While it's very well advertised that there is no wifi in the annex rooms, it would have been really useful!

Pros: Decor, staff, breakfast.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Central location near Stora Torg, "Big Square" in Visby was great! a short walk from my room in the Annex. WiFi signal was good and quick in my room. Breakfast was great and the Breakfast room, in a beautiful converted small cinema, had free coffee and small biscuits/cookies way after the hours of breakfast. The staff was friendly and showed me all around the historic property. Jasmine and her mom at breakfast, and Susann at check-in, were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: I felt the mattresses were a little bit too soft in my room in the Annex. Also, because the Annex is about 300 meters from the main building (check-in/reception), it was hard to get my rolling luggage to my room because the entire Old Town of Visby is paved with large bumpy cobbles. I would love if the Check-In staff had a large-wheeled luggage cart with inflated tires that guests could borrow, perhaps against a deposit, that could be used to protect the small hard luggage wheels from the rough road. This is not a major issue and if you are staying anywhere in Historic Visby, your luggage wheels will take a beating from the streets.

Pros: Location

Cons: A lot of noice from drunk people....

Pros: Good breakfast, in the city center, lovely straff

Cons: To light in the morning, no aircondition so its getting superhot during summer

Pros: IF you like antiques and history this will be the place Excelent in many aspects. Very cousi and unique

Cons: Kids

Pros: We stayed in an apartment room, which had two bedrooms. The rooms were very spacious and it was nice to have a kitchen. The location was perfect for our exploring. The breakfast was very good and served in a very pretty and comfortable gathering area. Additional seating for our sitting room was provided when we requested it. The beds were comfortable. The staff were typically very helpful.

Cons: There were no doors on the bedrooms. One bedroom was situated in the living room space, and there was no place for a door because it was a very wide opening. The other doors were all simply missing. We did request they be installed, and were assured they would be, but they were not. Very difficult for privacy with three adults. The bathroom was dimly lit and there was mold around the tub/shower area. The furniture was all pretty run-down except for the beds. It was hard to cool the rooms down. There is no elevator and the steps going to the rooms are winding.

Pros: Prime location in Visby, everything is in walking distance. Parking is a bit difficult, but in the low season you can park very close by on Tage Cervins Gata. Otherwise, there is a bigger parking in front of Gotland campus of the Uppsala university. There was always place there.

Cons: Silverfish, lots and lots of silverfish! I can handle 1 or 2... but when the lights go out, they are everywhere. The bed, the walls, the floor, the lamps. It was from a nightmare! There were dozens. The family room is in a building separate from the hotel. At first, the impression was great. It was a huge room with kitchen and washing machine. But by closer inspection the room is dusty and dirty. There is a table on in the room that somehow is covered in cotton and is filled with stains. There is no cleaning at all, and they don’t even come there to clean and to refresh towels. We asked, but they reply was: clean it yourself. It’s not stated in the room description, and this is misleading. The beds are bad. It’s just 2 loose beds with a matrasses and loose top matras on it. You are basically lying on the matrass itself which didnt feel hygienic. But the insects infested this building are the worst. We had to sleep with the lights on so they didn’t come out. It was horrid. The lady at the reception waved away our complaints, saying they are harmless and it is normal in Visby. Old buildings and such. We refused to spent another night in that building, After some pressure they gave us a deluxe room in the hotel itself, and guess what? No silverfish and daily cleaning! It was a LOT better than the family room. Large room, great beds, great matrasses. It’s like the family room is a failed B&B which they don’t care about. One word of advice, NEVER EVER make a reservation for the family room unless they rid it of insects. They way they treated us was unfit for a 4 star hotel, and I’m still very upset about it.

Pros: The location was fantastic. Walking distance to both sea and restaurants.

Cons: The room was very small. The breakfast was OK but not great. I missed blueberries, strawberries for instance.

Pros: Läget.

Cons: no internet connection during entire stay despite several calls to reception, Food in the freezer on arrival, shower broken, bad and worn out bed, reception was not reachable several times, no proper check out possible due to no available personell, room in another building on the second floor without elevator (and a lousy description of the way), no information sheet in room

Pros: Super Nice staff. Fresh and clean. 10/10 Will go agian.

Cons: Everyting is 10/10

Pros: We were here for the medieval week, and Donners Hotell was a wonderful place to stay in Visby. The location was excellent, within the city wall and opposite to the tourist center. Visby was small but full of magic, living in the center means that you are close to everywhere! The room was spacious and cozy, and most surprisingly we had a well in our room! The breakfast was really nice. Imagine how perfect it was to explore Visby from here after a good breakfast and end up here to have a nice sleep! It felt like time travel: in the hotel we were in the modern world, but a few steps out, we fell into the medieval times! Visby was and will always be one of our favorites:)

Pros: The receptionist was very helpful

Cons: Everything thing was good.

Pros: location was great. rooms were clean and breakfast was good.

Cons: Internet was awful. Our room had a view of a neighbor's wall! bathroom amenities are too small and were not changed in the three days of our stay (though they were finished).

Pros: Your breakfast was outstanding, so was your staff!

Cons: Great customer service

Pros: The room was very small, bed was good and large.

Cons: Location is very good the old town.

Pros: Very central location close to everything but noisy at night until midnight. We had a family suite at the top floor attic. Not good for tall people. Nice sea view from window. Kitchen.

Cons: It felt like we were at Airbnb but not a hotel. Our suite wasn’t cleaned even once during 6 night stay. Dust bunnies everywhere on the floor. Smelly pillows and duvet. Attic ceilings for short people. Towels changed only once in 6 days. Garbage taken out once. Staff very sour, curt and not friendly. No fresh soap in the bathroom. Very expensive pretending to be 4 stars but just 3 stars. Would not come again.

Pros: The facilities were excellent and although travelling on business, I took my wife and small dog along for the trip. We were made to feel very welcome and the "pet friendly" rooms were fantastic, with dog chews, blanket, bowls, and even poop bags provided. The breakfast buffet was super and the whole experience was really good. Normally I am not a fan of Scandic as a brand and tend to avoid them, however I would very much recommend Scandic Visby, especially if travelling with a four-legged friend.

Pros: - just the location.

Cons: -Less cleanliness. Could have even better.

Pros: Nice small outdoor playground for children.

Pros: Super breakfast! Pool, spa and sauna was highly appreciated.

Pros: Very comfortable. Our third time there. Great breakfast!

Cons: The round mirrors on the restaurant wall were really dirty. Shame!

Pros: Excellent location for our last night on Gotland before getting early morning ferry - short walk across the road to terminal. Easy to walk into old town. Liked the photos of Gotland in bedroom!

Cons: Only one teabag!!

Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were new, close to the ferry, and easy walk into town.

Cons: Didn't realise they don't change towels or service the room at all Room was very small with two people, no air-conditioning so after three days needed a service.

Pros: 5-minute walk from ferry terminal, perfect for using ferry. Not old-town scenic, as you do see the water but it's over the ferry terminal, parking lots, etc. 5-10 minute walk to downtown

Cons: OK place, but it is a big national chain with big facilities (several buildings on this property, so not so homey)

Pros: Great food. smorgesbord was good but could use some variety day to day.

Cons: They put me on the upper floor (3 level) of a building with very steep and narrow stairs and no elevator. I am 73 years old and the stairs were a hazard to me trying to manage a large suitcase. They apparently had other rooms in buildings that had elevators but the staff did not offer to move me to accommodate the dangerous situation that carrying my luggage put me in.
