    I would love to give this place 5 stars. It has so much potential. Some of these complaints might be petty, but here we go. 1. The breakfast could be better. The eggs were questionable and that bacon was just inedible. Scandinavian hotel breakfasts are really top notch compared to other places in the world, so I just expected better. I'd give the breakfast 2-3 stars. 2. Convenience. It's a little cramped and not the most suitcase friendly. However I know it is an old building and to renovate would take away from it's charm. 3. The modern art - no no no. It is so out of place. Otherwise absolutely LOVED all the old architecture and styling. Very cool!!

    I you find a room available here - do not hesitate. This is probably the nicest hotel you will ever find in Malmö. It’s locate right in city centre, very close to the main station. The oldest parts of the building are from the 14th century, the breakfast room is a cellar dating back to 1307. The hotel itself is more than 100 years old and has a unique flair. Everything is kind of old, but all is very tidy and in very good shape, the rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast is tasty, with eggs, waffles, cereals and a lot more. The pricing is moderate, especially if you consider central location, the unique flair and the friendly staff.

    This hotel has an 700 year history and ouzes of atmosphere. The rooms are nice and reflects very nicely the history of this hotel. The breakfast is excellent with all you can ask for. It is served in the old and very cousy basement of the hotel. The staff are very helpful and nice. While staying here you must experience the lilbray where you can get coffee, tea and water complementary... The price is very fair and location really good and I highly recommend this unique little gem in Malmö..Everywhere you can get fifty shades of modern, but there are only one Mayfair tunneln...i'd love my stay here ❤️

    The hotel is very nice, well preserved and with a lot of history. The rooms are comfortable and you can rest and enjoy your time. Good breakfast. Location was perfect, you can visit the city by step.I fully recommend staying at this hotel.

    Is it a hotel or an art gallery? Oh my gosh, everything was perfect. They paid extra attention to decoration, and the walls were full of pictures and even better stories!!! the breakfast was good, the price was cheap, it was definitely a place where you could appreciate Swedish culture and it is a must for art lovers

    We stayed at the Tunneln for 5 nights in August and can’t say enough. The property has great history which is well presented throughout. Comfortable sized rooms and a nice breakfast spread each morning. Perfect location at walking distance to central station and old town. Very friendly and responsive hotel staff. I loved relaxing in their library and courtyard. Only thing I would recommend is to consider changing up the breakfast menu daily.

    Expected way more regarding the room standard, old pipes (really poor showering), no ventilation. Breakfast at 2/5. Ok, not more. Stay of the scrambled egg..

    Not 4 Star if you ask me. All „fine“ so nothing bad, but for the same price there are more up-to-date hotels in the area. Room was fairly small, curtains did not really stop mich light, single glazed windows, no aircon. They did well to keep an „old historic“ feeling, which to be honest fits the level hotel is at. Again: not at all a no go but „fine“ is realistic. Personnel was great. They helped relocate to quieter room without any issues, etc. Maybe its me being a business traveller at this accasion. For holidays it might be even „cute“ as other reviews say.

    This is a really cute hotel. You feel like being put back in a 50’s movie. Especially the small elevator in the lobby, which is the oldest in Malmö. The breakfast ist very good. And a lot to choose from. Mattresses are good. I slept well, which means a lot. Everything is nice and clean.

    Stepping into the Mayfair Hotel Tunneln, you're instantly embraced by its charm and history. It's like a delightful journey back in time, yet with all the comforts of the modern age. The rooms are cosy, exuding a homey feel that instantly makes you relax. And their breakfast? A perfect way to start your day. To top it off, the hotel's central location makes it an excellent base for exploring the city. A stay at the Mayfair Hotel is not just a stay; it's an experience steeped in history, charm, and utmost comfort.

    We loved every thing about this hotel. Great breakfast, nice location. Lots of interesting art.

  • 5/5 Dan B. 10 months ago on Google
    This was the best place we stayed on our whole 10 day trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and helped facilitate parking in the secure lot across the street. They were great about recommendations, and made the stay special. The room was wonderous, and had a neat view of a courtyard. The room was massive compared to other spaces we stayed in, and featured all sorts of amenities which was surprising for a historic building with an elevator from the 1930's. The breakfast in a space from 1300 was something special to experience, and the hotel was well situated to facilitate exploring Malmo by foot. I'd stay in this space again in a heartbeat. It's a historic building in many ways, but also tying back to royalty in Denmark which we learned about during our time there, so it was a neat connection to see.

    Me and my family had the greatest hotel experience at Mayfair Hotel Tunneln that we've ever had. Not the best room ever - it lacked air conditioning - not the best breakfast ever - it was a solid one, but we've been to some quite opulent hotel breakfasts - but the overall experience was just superb. There were the technical things: the hotel is located right by the train station, the beds were big and comfy, the children really enjoyed the bath, whatever, that's not what sets this hotel apart. It was the history of the building and all the effort that had been put to relay it to the visitor. The look and feel, the atmosphere of a centuries old building, that also has had the necessary renovations for modern comfort (really enjoyed the indoor plumbing, now that I think of the alternative) made our stay really something worth remembering. Some hotels may have a grander buffet for breakfast, but none that I know of can claim to serve the said breakfast in a cellar that was built in the 14th century. Many hotels boast about famous people that have stayed there, but few hotels can tell about people who lived there half a millennium ago. And tell the hotel truly did, with framed excerpts from hotels past in the hallways and a booklet of the building's history in the room, which made the times long gone seem like it was yesterday. My two children would like to note that the best two things were the bake-them-yourself waffles and the art installation chair with fluorescent tubes. The chair had to be lit up every time we passed by it, it was absolutely great. Oh yeah, the art! The hotel has an impressive collection of modern art along with historic paintings, again, making it so much more than just a place you sleep in.

    Perfect and centrally placed hotel. Cozy rooms, nice breakfast and great service. It is an old hotel with an interesting history. The owners are very interested in art so there's a lot to look at.

    The hotel is visibly very old. The rooms are tiny and our sink was leaking. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We slept there before an early flight the next morning and they made sure they gave us breakfast packages which was appreciated. The location is great.

  • 5/5 Matthew F. 11 months ago on Google
    A lot better than I was expecting. Food was surprisingly good. Simple and nothing extravagant, but just what I needed. Decent variety too. Rooms were clean and the decor of the hotels was very interesting. Felt very historical like I was staying in a piece of history rather than some random hotel. Staff were some of the most professional and polite hotel staff I have ever met at hotel. Will definitely stay again next time I pass through Malmö.

    An old gem of a hotel but sadly far too many inconveniences to give it a better rating. WiFi was really patchy, constantly struggling to hold a connection in our room. The old beauty of the hotel is ruined by a lot of really stupid looking modern art, like a set of acrylic boxes with a fake flower and a whole bunch of florescent strip lights that was never once turned on but just sat on the floor outside of a gorgeous old elevator built decades ago. One of many pieces that was just such an ugly contrast to the rest of the hotel. The breakfast area was gorgeous but I was never excited to eat much of it and the coffee was particularly bitter. Our room was a bit too cozy, very awkward to move around in for 2 and we even stacked some of the furniture up to make room. Also the TV was old and had no way to cast or stream or get anything other than basic cable. The staff were excellent, very polite and friendly and a number of options were available to make up for lack of facilities like access to the gym across the street. I enjoyed staying here to see the old beauty but wouldn't come back. I just think their money could be spent in much better ways to restore the buildings glory than on out of place art pieces.

    Great find, within walking distance to everything. Beautiful, historic building , nicely decorated. Spacious rooms (if you avoid the ones with a balcony :)). The staff is really welcoming and friendly and ready to help with whatever needed. Breakfast is also great, plenty of choices, for every taste or diet, I think.

    A hotel with a long tradition and a nice breakfast's room. Room really quiet. Central position in the center of Malmo and close 2 minutes by food from the train station.

  • 5/5 Erkki S. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding building! Excellent service and breakfast. Very good room. Coffee and tea available all day long. If you wish to have atmosphere, this is the place to stay. AAA+++

  • 2/5 Jacob M. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely not the best of experiences. Was greeted by a big earwig chilling on top of my pillow when arriving and had a very noisy mini-fridge keeping me up at night. I do not recommend staying here.

  • 5/5 Lizzie V. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic hotel. Family run and we amazing history. Comfortable library with tea and coffee all day. Excellent breakfast in 13C cellar.

    During summer as we stop travel for a while, I love to recover again staying with culture, classic, history, beautiful and friendly. I love this hotel … happy to stay here plus they have good breakfast with lovely atmosphere💐

  • 5/5 Cecilia H. 1 year ago on Google
    I stayed here for about a week while visiting family . Very convenient location . About a ten minute walk from the train station and a quick stroll from my mom’s apartment . I arrived early and when I got there the room was not ready but I was able to store my luggage in a safe spot while waiting . The front desk said that they would make sure that my room was cleaned first . When I called a couple of hours later the room was ready . Great customer service ! I loved the atmosphere and history . The staff was amazing. I had a single room which was very small . I was not planning on spending a lot of time in the room but it would have been nice to have more space for my suitcase . Luckily I always travel with packing cubes so I was able to keep organized . Minor detail . There was space in the bathroom so I was able to unpack my toiletries . Breakfast is served in the basement which is very charming . The buffet is very nice and the breakfast staff were very attentive . After a week the food choices got a little boring but at the same time at home I tend to eat the same breakfast every day. I was there during the Malmo festival which meant that it was noisy at night . The main stage is just around the corner so I could hear the music . My room was close to the stairs so even with ear plugs the noise level was less than optimal. My biggest complaint was the heat . It was quite hot while I was there . There is no air conditioning which is pretty typical for Sweden . There was a small fan but it did not too much to cool down the room. This made it hard for me to sleep. I would definitely stay here again .

    To be honest. This is not a hotel. It is more like a combined art and history museum that you can actually sleep and eat in. I would consider to stay at this hotel again if I were to visit Malmö again. The breakfast were great, staff were friendly and helpful and the bed and room were ok for me, however, the room were a bit small. I loved the library that you can just relax in with a coffee or tea. This hotel is not accessible friendly. In order to reach the check-in desk you have to walk up half a floor to reach the mezzanine floor. There is one old style elevator, but it ends at the mezzanine floor and therefore it does not reach the basement where breakfast is served.

    Very nice historic Hotel. Children‘s sink, top small to wash. The activated toilet flush on the upper floor makes a lot of noise, so that you wake up in the night. Ideal location, difficult access with trolley (cobblestones). Breakfast is good but to late 7:30. Room and view good. WIFI works perfect. Staff friendly. Thanks!

    The service was professional kind and helpful. A bit too cold in the room, but apart from that everything was alright. The atmosphere of the whole hotel (especially the lobby and library) makes me feel like I travelled back in time to XIX century - amazing experience.
