An unexpected highlight on our trip. This hotel was an unexpected joy with a rather strange, but visually abundant amount of material to see on every wall. The staff, while young, were all friendly and helpful. The restaurant, located across the street in a separate building was very good. Rooms were well sized and comfortable. I recommend spending some time in the lobby with a beverage and digging into the decor. Breakfast was also very good.

Hotell Gastis was so quirky with so many books and artefacts. Our room was very small but perfectly adequate. We hired bikes and visited a small nature reserve. We also went in the Leninbadet which was an amazing experience, even with the steam room not working. It was like going back in time and we loved it.
There were major building works going on outside the hotel but we couldn’t hear anything even though our room overlooked them.
The roof terrace was lovely and we sat there with a post dinner drink!
Drinks were expensive and we didn’t eat there in the evening, but the breakfast was really good and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

A unique and fun hotel
Truly unique with 15000 books and a wellness section modeled after Lenin’s bathhouse… quirky and charming, with uniquely designed rooms. We stayed in the Otto Torell-room which was huge. The somewhat worn standard is part of the charm and something to appreciate in this hotel. There’s also so much to look at with weird and curious details littered throughout. Staff was friendly but everything including the bar closed at around 10pm.

Trivseln blev hög och trevlig, frukosten blev en höjdare också.

Overflod af polstrede møbler, bøger og tæpper i de lange gange giver risiko for hurtig spredning af eventuel brand. Påfaldende at brandtrapperne var af træ. Elevator kun til 2. sal og derefter trappe til 3. sal. Bøger og billeder overalt med kommunistpropaganda var meget støvede ligesom tæpper gav besvær for en støvallergiker. Støvsugere var efterladt på de smalle gange hele dagen med besværet passage. Flere udtjente elpærer på værelse 304. Morgenmaden var god trods skåret porcelæn, men den begrænsede plads gjorde det nødvendigt at inddele gæsterne i faste tidsrammer. Vi følte ikke lyst til at afprøve baren eller Leninbadet.

Frukost var bra.Rummet okej. Väldigt lyhört, dörren otät
Fick ett mail om hotellets tider om kvällsmaten kl 4.15 på natten, dagen efter skulle vi checka ut.
Hade varit en klar fördel om vi fått det när vi checkade in.

Ett trevligt centralt hotell , personalen var riktigt trevlig och bra frukost . Nackdelen med hotellet var alla trappor samt det var uppdelat i tre olika byggnader . Sängarna på vårat rum har nog gjort sitt men påpekade det vid utcheckning så hoppas dom byta ut nu
