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.

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

Cosy time warp

An enjoyable stay inside a "step back in time" hotel, dressed up from a time long gone. Great staff, nice breakfast, in a very cosy environment, though I'd have preferred slight softer pillows.

This hotel is large enough to have most amenities and small enough to be homey and quaint. Absolutely loved the parlor and library feel in the main building. Be aware, though, that many of the rooms are in buildings across the street and accessible only by stairs.

Very interesting hotel. I loved the way they foster reading by offering books to customers. I got my book home and looking forward to read it. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel are amazing. Staff is very helpfull. Looking forward to use the spa next time. Unfortunately I did not had enough time due to the short stay.

Kvinnan i receptionen får 10 av 10. Dock smutsigt badrum. Hotellet i sin helhet är i ok skick. Frukost får 10 av 10. Men inte alls likt hotellvistelse vi tidigare har varit på. Inget modernt hotell, och priset per natt är för dyrt för vad du får. Vi kunde knappt sova då ventilationen lät för mycket i rummet. Trodde först det var grannen som duscha..

Bra val!

Grymt hotell. Vi hade till och med turen att bli uppgraderade under våran vistelse. Supertrevlig och mottagande personal, bra frukost och riktigt mäktigt/ häftigt rum. Bra priser på drinkar och öl. Ligger nära resecentrum och stadens centrum (ca 5 min till station och 2 till centrum). finns också ett häftigt spa som kan vara värt att besöka om man ändå ska dit :)
