    Would need a little love when it comes to surfaces but acceptable at this price point.

    Spacious apartment with a lot of space with the four rooms and kitchen. Plus a great little balcony with city view.

    A very nice B&B but do not expect a traditional hotel.

    The hotel is more of a B&B than a hotel. The reception is a key box. We had trouble locating the code to gain access - it appeared to be sent by sms.

    Nicely decorated room with interesting details. Very central. Close to restaurants and sights. Very good breakfast. Easy to find parking even in central Ystad.

    I think the bathroom is disappointing when you first see it. Even in a vintage hotel you expect a clean feel to the bathroom but it seems very unloved and not maintained. There are a few relatively cheap fixes that could be done to improve or. A nicer floor, tile grout refresh, painting the door. Additionally, it would be nice if the twin beds could be locked together. My partner and I wanted to cuddle but the beds just separated like a modern chastity belt of sorts.

    Quirky, vintage style was my favourite, as well as a cosy, studio flat feel to the room. I love unusual hotels and it is very unusual. The bed was very comfortable and the cushions and the duvet very soft. I slept very well there. I really enjoyed my stay despite a couple of things marked below.

    Some art feeling in the heart of Ystad

    What could be better - hummus at breakfast for plant eaters. What could be helpful - a notice during the booking to the message that the parking is available and that it is a payable service per night (~10 EUR).

    Breakfast was organised like an art exhibition and also had available plant based "milk" for the coffee and muesli. There were radishes and more other veggies and fruits, so the hotel is a decent choice for plant eaters. And top of all - the location of the hotel, just in the heart of Ystad and nearby the waterfront.

    there wasn't a lift to our rooms with were in an extension but normally this would have beenno problem but we were both having difficulties with our legs.

    Very interesting breakfast area. Lots of artwork on the walls and mixture of regular lighting and candles. We thought it was like being on a stage set with figures dressed as historical characters and lots of unusual pieces of furniture and pottery. Our room was in an extension and was full of antique furniture and amusing pottery and plants.

    Its a shame that the standard rooms are really basic and mine (the twin room) was definitely too expensive considering the general standard of the room. Luckily, I didn't have to share it with anybody.

    Breakfast was really good. The hot plates weren't hot, but that's normal for many hotels. Love the ambience of the hallways and breakfast room.

    I am vegan and there were not many vegan options for breakfast. Breakfast is served in a beautiful room and there are lots of different types of food. It would have been nice to have vegan yogurt, vegan butter, hummus etc.

    The staff is friendly and welcoming. It felt like coming to a family hotel (and this is what the hotel is), which is a nice change from impersonal hotels.

    Bathroom rather small and the bedroom would have benefited from at least one larger bedside table.

    Lovely genuine staff who showed real interest in us as holidaymakers. The hotel had a lot of character with beautiful art in our bedroom which overlooked the cobbled street leading to the central square. The bedroom was light and airy. Hotel very convenient for the town of Ystad. We enjoyed a good tasty breakfast.

    Breakfast was excellent - we loved the bread especially. Our room was nice and airy, with a view of the street. The room was quite minimalist - it had no wardrobe- but looked great and the beds were comfortable. There was a rack with hangers to hang our clothes - all you need really. Everyone was very friendly.
