    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.

    The poor environment in the corridors and the rooms for breskfast

    It was nice! Staff, cleanliness, location, beds. But it was clear that the rooms and the whole hotel are from the 90ties-a kind of sad air of ”lets try to just keep on with this” The yellowpainted walls in a 90style, the poor no-one-has-bothered-to-concider-the-furniture-and-decorations because the customers are to poor to notice or bother. Breakfast was outstanding!

    The hotel was a bit outdated and old in some parts. You can see it’s an old hotel. Still, everything was clean and working.

    Great location with the city within easy walking distance. The breakfast was really good - one of the best ones in a while. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel was cozy and clean - some parts were in need of a renovation/redoing but some parts had been modernized (interior in the common areas etc.).

    Late check in after 2300 requires to inquire extra, as there is no more staff, so you need to be informed of the door code. My written inquiry got no reply, so I had to call the hotel. However, staff is very reliable, I found my envelope with the room key exactly at the location where advised. Until then, I was a bit tense whether things would work out as advised. Yes, it did. But my being tense is something that males me uncomfortable.

    Very good breakfast, comfortable lobby

    I had a bit higher expectation because of the pictures and the price. The room, in my opinion, needs some renovation. And there was loud music outside sometimes, that we couldn't avoid even if we close the window.

    Breakfast was amazing! And we had the view to the sea from our room. We could watch beautiful sunsets. Location is very convenient.

    Some rooms are now getting quite old and require some updating.

    The hotel is ideally located, just on the outside of the Visby wall. Therefore, you’re close to everything but not in the crush of the old town. The hotel has a good breakfast and a sauna.
