Breakfast
Hotell Repet offers a cozy and homelike atmosphere, complemented by very good reception and service. Its prime location near Österport adds convenience for travelers, and the highlight is the wonderful rooftop terrace, which provides a delightful setting for both breakfast and dinner. While breakfast isn't officially included, guests have access to a nearby supermarket, allowing them to gather necessary items and enjoy a relaxed morning meal on the terrace. Some may find the absence of an included breakfast option surprising, especially as nearby establishments open later in the morning. Nevertheless, the charm of having a kitchen within the accommodation adds a personal touch, making it feel like a home away from home. This approach allows guests to create personalized breakfast experiences, adding a unique aspect to their stay.
Rooms
Nestled in the heart of Visby's historic old town, Hotell Repet is a charming accommodation choice offering spacious, clean, and well-designed rooms that cater to a variety of guest needs. Many visitors emphasize the delightful ambiance and tasteful decor of the rooms, which blend modern style with comfort. The rooms often feature a light-filled space with balconies or terraces that allow guests to soak in the picturesque surroundings. Apartments at the hotel are noted for being cozy yet well-planned, with some highlighting their chic, predominantly white interiors, which add to the sense of cleanliness and space.
The hotel's location is a significant draw, providing easy access to the cultural and historical attractions of Visby while being conveniently nestled in a quiet corner of the old town. Most rooms are praised for their spaciousness and thoughtful furnishing, from comfortable firm beds to functional bathrooms, ensuring a relaxing stay.
While some accommodations could benefit from minor updates, the overall quality remains impressive. The thoughtfully designed layouts and shared spaces like terraces add an inviting touch. Families might want to consider room placement, as some street-facing spaces could be less suitable due to ambient noise. Nonetheless, for those seeking a blend of style, comfort, and prime location, Hotell Repet consistently meets and exceeds expectations.
Beds
At Hotell Repet, guests frequently commend the beds for their comfort, which stands out as one of the hotel's most appreciated features. Many visitors find the beds very comfy with some describing them as cozy and supportive, catering well to those who prefer a firm mattress. The bedding is noted for being clean, complementing the comfortable sleeping experience.
Accommodations are described as spacious and well-equipped, featuring high-quality materials and tasteful decor, making the small apartments or studios particularly appealing. However, despite the generally positive feedback on the beds, some elements could benefit from updates. Comments highlight issues with older furniture, such as sofa beds that are more suitable for children than adults and non-connected twin beds sometimes used as doubles.
Overall, while some furnishings and infrastructure could use a refresh, the satisfaction with the beds largely contributes to a restful stay, and the cozy, well-appointed living spaces enhance the overall experience at Hotell Repet.
Cleanliness
Hotell Repet receives mixed reviews regarding cleanliness, with guests highlighting both positive and negative aspects. Nestled in a fantastic location, the hotel boasts convenience with kitchen facilities and ample space, along with outdoor balconies that add charm to the stay. The interior design is appreciated for its modern, Ikea-inspired aesthetic and cleanliness in areas like bedding, towels, and bathroom facilities provides comfort to guests. Many reviewers note the rooms as clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated, contributing to a welcoming environment.
However, the hotel struggles with maintenance issues, and some guests reported instances such as unwashed dishes, dusty surfaces, mold in showers, and dirty appliances. The appearance of insects and poorly cleaned areas—like behind sofas or within cabinets—detracts from the otherwise well-designed spaces. The lack of thorough cleaning and missing kitchen essentials are mentioned as detractors from the otherwise pleasant ambiance.
Overall, Hotell Repet’s central location and aesthetic appeal are strong selling points, but improvements in housekeeping would elevate the guest experience.

Quick staff responses to inquiries helped resolve issues with facilities, though communication challenges occasionally arise, especially when trying to reach staff by phone. Despite some difficulties with codes and necessary room items, guests generally find the staff accommodating when in contact. The hotel strikes a balance with its excellent location and room quality, making it a popular choice for those comfortable with a mostly self-serviced stay.
