We thoroughly enjoyed this little manor house. Loved the floor heating in the bathroom and the beautiful ancient windows. Absolute best was their breakfast, by far the BEST breakfast I ever had at any hotel around the world. The only thing that was a bit unusual, we booked the deluxe room and were expecting a sitting area, but only got one chair and a stool at a tiny desk. It did not look like the picture n the internet. It only bugged me on the one day we had rain and hung out in the room for a bit. Walkable to town without being in the midst of party area at night. Quiet enough to sleep with the windows open. Loved this experience.

Not much atmosphere
A pleasant hotel but the reception area is very small and the rest of the building comprised corridors with rooms and no social space (that I could find). Helpful receptionists but not 24/7. Breakfast OK but unremarkable. Nice Swedish decor but elements of the hotel looked tired (eg room documentation and signs, broken steps up to the entrance).

Booked the room becuse they advertised WiFi and Caboe TV and we really needed both . WiFI was horrible and cable TV didn’t even exist. Blaming myself for not checking reviews better beforehand because then I would have seen that already in 2021and 2022 hotel got bad reviews for just WiFi and cable . The girls that worked in the front desk was absolutely amazing and very sweet and helpful and helped us solve our issues the best they could being very creative. Cable TV doesn’t exist there even though they advertise it and WiFi seams to be a problem owners have no intention to solve . The hotel Should be very thankful for their amazing staff .

Very nice old hotel in great location, just outside main center of Visby - 5 mins walk to main square. Staff very friendly and good breakfast. As an old hotel it doesn’t have air conditioning and rooms can get hot when the weather is sunny.

250+ year old building excellently converted into a small 4 star hotel. Great location in the old city near many bars and restaurants. Breakfast choice is limited but of good quality. Only 4 working stations in the TV abd variable WiFi. 9 minutes walk from the ferry terminal.

Lovely old, historic building in a quiet setting inside the Visby ring wall, with a small park out front and close to everything. Nice, comfortable, atmospheric room and hearty breakfast spread in the morning. My main criticisms are that I couldn't get the promised cable TV channels to work and the wifi kept cutting out, which was important because I had some work to do. Would recommend Hotell Slottsbacken is price and connectivity aren't your main priorities.
