Old Town Gävle

This is a really good option on a separate island but everything is within walking distance. The best thing about this hotel is the outdoor area, lovely restaurant and the seating where you can relax with a drink, it’s very calm. That said, the rooms are very small, staff are not really interested in providing any service, on occasion some were rude. One thing to note is that in the long summer evenings there are boy racers who drive fast on Skeppsholmen island, causing a lot of noise. Would return only if the rate was decent.

Room too small for two people. Two dangerous steps down into the room immediately at entrance. Carpet stained. Mirrors dirty. Poor housekeeping. Mould on signage in bathroom. Despite asking for room change offered an identical size room on the next floor. Staff member in bar extremely rude. Definitely not 5 star Hotel more akin to a poor 3 star.
