Återkommer nästa år

God frukost med nybakat bröd. Mysigt ställe, bra läge nära centrum och precis vid havet.

Man vet ju att det är toa och dusch i korridoren så ingen överraskning men jag hade ju gärna sett att detta fanns på rummet. Inga problem att komma åt eftersom det inte var fullbokat men vid fullbokat kan det nog bli problem och kö.

Beautiful fortress, comfy prisen cell.

The location is perfect.

There are only 2 showers for more than 20 people. I took the shower early in the morning to avoid waiting.

Great location and unusual experience

The location is spectacular, with old and well preserved history, next to the sea. The premises of the prison were rather for an experience for me but the rest of the hotel is very cosy and traditional style. the breakfast is very nice, which you can have outside with a fortress view. It is very quiet around.

The room was rather for a prisoner experience and very modest,the original doors of the room gave a grumpy feeling. The house is a bit noisy and shared premises are not always maintained clean by other guests.

Unique experience staying within the fortress walls!

It was a neat experience to stay within the fortress walls with an incredible view, to boot. We enjoyed exploring the grounds, but regret that we were visiting too late to pop into the museum! We wish we could have stayed longer!

Breakfast was not available to us because we had to leave too early.

Overall a great experience, next time we'll allow more time to really explore everything!

Very helpful and welcoming from the very first phone call. Rooms are fresh and clean and you definitely get a sense of the history of this former fortress.

There really wasn't anything to dislike, it is a great place to stay!

Varberg Fortress is a great place to stay

Our room was comfortable, and the view from our window over the bay was nice, even though shrubbery partially blocked our view of the beautiful Kallbadhus building. Breakfast was delicious (cereals, yoghurt, fresh rolls, cheese, salad vegetables). The only cooked items were boiled eggs. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location in the fortress is great and walking around, there are wonderful views over the bay, as you are up so high. The museum is nearby (12-4pm), and free entry during Autumn and Spring is included with your stay (need to show proof). The Bocksten Man exhibition is excellent with information displayed in Swedish and English. The other exhibitions are in Swedish, and my phone wasn't working so couldn't access the app with English translations. Delicious food at the Museum cafe.

The area around the breakfast bar had space for only 2 people so felt very crowded. Its location next to the doorway created congestion with guests waiting outside the door, but not being able to see why they were stuck there. Toilet and shower were down the corridor, but having a sink in our room for cleaning teeth was good. There was no TV in our room, but the quiet was kind of nice.

Great room

Location was great and a very nice view on the seaside. Delicious breakfast

My room was next to the showers and toilets so there was a bit of noise in the morning but nothing too bad

A nice trip.

The location was very good. We liked everything very much. It was simple but clean, just what we had expected.

The only thing we did not like was the weather but that is something else.

The location is simply wonderful within the fortress walls and at 1 minute from the sea! Very nice idea to turn an old prison into a b&b.

Some people came in late and were a bit noisy. But there were ear buds in the room and they were fine.
