Fårösunds Fästning

The Fårsunds fästning is an excellent option if you wish to visit the north of Gotland (Fårö) and at the same time get a piece of interesting Swedish history. The rooms are all in heavy concrete (and really cool) but at the same time cosy and offer all you need in terms of comfort and equipment. The resto offers tasty lamb from the region and the breakfast offers a variety goodies (although the berries were a bit too cold). Well worth a visit!

Converted from an old military fortress into a hotel this is a very cool place. They have kept some of the old unique walls which is great. The restaurant is fantastic. We had Moules et frites and local lamb sausages, both were outstanding. Breakfast is included and very fresh. Sauna and pool nice but could've been cleaned better. The window is towards the hallway and hotel and not to the outside. Blinds were not good and windows single glazed so it was both noisy in the room and not completely darker out. Could even see in/out in some spots. Dehumidifier in bathroom could be turned off but the ventilation in the bathroom could not be and it was very noisy. Beds too soft. Another strange thing is that they lock the place up between 11am and 3pm so you cannot evwn get in to use the toilet while you wait for your room. Staff friendly and helpful. WIFI very good which was needed as phone reception patchy
