Mayfair Hotel Tunneln

What a gem of a find! Centrally located beautifully appointed historic hotel. We cannot say enough about this hotel. The front desk clerk was very friendly and knowledgeable and took a lot of time with us to recommend places to go both inside and outside of Malmo. Our room was spacious and the linens were very nice. The breakfast room is very special and hosts a wide array of food for their continental buffet. You will not be sorry if you stay here!

What a wonderful experience!! Beautiful hotel that takes you back 700 years. Very clean, comfortable beds and amazing decoration to show the history of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. All of the staff from the reception to the cleaning service to the kitchen were phenomenal. An absolute pleasure to have stayed here. Wish we could stay longer and because of that we will definitely be back!

The hotel is beautiful in many ways but it didn’t live up to my expectations. I was staying in one of the mini suites but it felt very average and basic. The pillows and duvets was of very bad quality, no hotel fluffiness at all. The towels were the same, cheapest quality. No nice products or give aways in the room, like most hotels has at least a little something (like products, chocolate, drinks etc). There were a hot tub shaped like a jacuzzi without being one, where the tap was about to fall off. And there were no blackout curtains so I woke up too early because of the light. When I got down to the breakfast there were no finesse at all. It felt like a school restaurant. Cheap school type unbreakable glasses and porcelain and the scrambled egg was cold and the müslies were spilled all over the place. They didn’t clean it up either. Nothing was homemade or ’signature’. I lost my appetite so I just had coffee.|The staff was charming and helpful though and everything was clean (except for the müsli situation).|The hotel could be so much more with a little more love in the details!

We had a wonderful stay at the Mayfair Hotel Tunneln in Malmö. The hotel is housed in a beautiful historic building with a rich past and loads of character — from the vaulted brick ceilings in the breakfast room to cozy touches like the library area.||The location is perfect, just a short walk from the train station, main squares, shops, and museums. Parking was a breeze, with a secure garage located just across the street and arranged efficiently by the front desk — a huge convenience.||Check-in service was exceptional, warm and helpful. Our room was quiet and clean, with everything we needed.||Breakfast is served downstairs in a stunning brick cellar, adding to the historic charm. The spread was plentiful, with both hot and cold items — including fresh pastries, and fruit. We also appreciated the coffee and tea available all day in the library area, a cozy spot to relax between outings.||This hotel offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and hospitality. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Malmö.

The location is very good within less than 2 minutes from the old town. Free good coffee, tee and cookies in the lobby where the public library of Malmö used to be between 1905-1926. They paid a lot of attention to details and many very famous people stayed at this hotel. The breakfast is very rich and you can choose from a very large quality of food, fruits and drink. The staff are exceptionally very nice and always ready to help. I will definitely come back to this hotel again.

Our room was spacious and beautiful. So much history and the panels in each room and even lining the hallway were very interesting and entertaining to read. The generous tea/ coffee/ cocoa and biscuits in the library was a nice offering while resting either waiting to leave or waiting for our rooms. Lovely receptionist whose English was like most Scandinavians, was superb but her American accent revealed she had lived there for a few years. Buffet breakfast was amazing located in the historical cellars, it did feel alittle claustrophobic even for myself, being short and slight.

Historic hotel, good location, convenient for station. |There's a lovely, small, dual aspect library next to Reception, all day coffee, and is comfy to sit in on a rainy afternoon.||Breakfast buffet located in the original, old cellars dating back to 1300s, sadly the cooked breakfast tasted similarly dated. I hate to say, but Breakfast was dreadful. Cold scrambled eggs, cremated bacon, very salty meatballs. In huge serving dishes. Much better to have smaller platters and top them up, yes it's more work, but makes for a tastier and hotter brekkie! On the plus side, there are plenty of other choices available on the buffet. Coffee machine out of order. ||It'd be nice to have a brief summary of the history of the hotel in the breakfast cellar. Rather than the very thick, dog-eared, book. There is one sheet, but oddly written as 'Did you know ...' so not sure who this sheet is aimed at. A missed opportunity to share interesting facts about this unique building.||The Courtyard Room was comfortable, enough power points, even a small fridge, TV. And there's a luggage bench. But ... the room smelt smokey, in a non smoking hotel! I had to remove the black cushions far away from the bed.||Bathroom is spacious, a useful magnifying mirror, plenty of space for toiletries and makeup. But bring your own toiletries as theirs is not insufficient. ||All the Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. There are steps up to Reception on arrival and down to the Courtyard rooms. I had help with my suitcase, no problem. A pleasant stay. For me it’s 3 Stars because of the poor Breakfast and lack of Toiletries, and smokey room but I’ve given 4 stars because the Staff were so pleasant.

Lovely hotel in a perfect spot in town. Close to the train station (8 min walk) and super close to the city centre with the shops, restaurants and pubs (4 min). The accommodation is full of atmosphere as it is one of the oldest hotels in Malmo. Maybe the rooms could be less decorated with info of the past on the walls and a bit more art (which is sufficiently available in the rest of the hotel and very nice!). Good breakfast and price/quality ratio. If you book directly at the hotel you get a free entrance to a gym close by!!!

We enjoyed our stay at this well preserved landmark. Our room was "deluxe" with a whirlpool bath tub. Clean, comfortable beds and a window to allow fresh Swedish air. No A/C but not needed. Buffet style breakfast was served in an impressive, cavernous cellar built in the 1500s (?) well... a really long time ago. Great staff. Make sure to take the elevator built in 1938- pretty cool.

Hotel Tunneln is a gem! This is our second trip staying here. What brought us back? First, this place is a history-lover's dream. We enjoy a delicious full Swedish breakfast smörgåsbord served beneath the gorgeous archways of a 1500s medieval cellar. There are fascinating historical clippings and other artifacts adorning the halls. A cozy historic library adjoining the reception welcomes us at all hours, with tea, coffee, gingersnaps, and other treats available 24/7. Tunneln is also a convenient, pleasant launching point for our small family. The service is attentive and helpful. The hotel is in a prime location for exploring the city by foot or transit. Moreover, the price is very reasonable for generously sized rooms with included breakfast. I'm sure there are other nice hotels in Malmö, but we'll never know, because we'll always choose Tunneln.

There are not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful our stay at this hotel was. A six night stay in Malmö and this was our hub of operation. The room was comfortable and a great place to relax after a full day of sightseeing and exploring this wonderful country. The staff was five star all the way making us feel like we were at home. The private art collection combined with the history of the space makes it a destination to visit into itself. Breakfast is included as part of your stay and it is located a short walk from the train Station, shops and restaurants. Really, you can't go wrong.

Great hotel that offers something out of the ordinary. Some of the rooms have a history that you can read about in framed articles and there is a (knight in) shining armor in the lobby. It's cosy, snug and comfortable, both geographically and concerning the bed, pillow and linen standard. I have stayed in various rooms, from smaller rooms to a suit among the rooftops with jacuzzi and a roof window that enable you to take a bath while stargazing. Lovely! There is free wifi provided and a selection of teas and ecological coffee in the lobby. Now to the best part: the breakfast buffet. It is located in the basement vault and contains an assortment of bread, jams, cheeses, hams, vegetables and cereals. There is scrambled and boiled eggs (that is traditionally served together with kaviar in Sweden), sausages, meatballs, pancakes, muffins and really tasty croissants. The lack of a gym/spa is the only thing that is missing in my opinion. Stay here if you fancy an affordable hotel that is centrally located, have a personal and historic wibe and if you value a great breakfast.

We've booked the hotel for 2 nights, 2 months ahead of the stay. The day after, there was a slight change to our travel plans and we had to cancel our plans to visit Malmo. We've booked through Booking.com so we used their platform to request the cancelation and also asked the hotel to waive the cancelations fee since we've just booked it and there was still 2 months until the dates but the hotel didn't accept and charged for the entire amount. I understand that the fine prints probably warned about it but they had the power to be helpful and apply common sense but they chose not to. Definitely not staying in that hotel next time I'll be in Malmo. Update: Like mentioned, I did talk to booking.com and they said they reached out to the hotel asking for the fees to be waved and the hotel denied it.

We started our trip in Denmark where we stayed in 2 star and 3 star hotels, and we were really looking forward to stay in this 4 star hotel in Malmö. However, with a combination of badlucks, questionable policies and poor accommodations, our stay here ended up being a not so positive experience. First, I must admit we booked a room at the Mayfair hotel through an online 3rd party service. On this website, we requested a room with 2 twin beds. The first thing we noticed was that we had one regular bed. I called the front desk, and the lady said she was very sorry but a request on a 3rd party website guarantees nothing, and all rooms with twin beds were booked. Now maybe that was our mistake, to have used a 3rd party website, however it would have been nice to send us a notice that our request couldn't be fulfilled when going ahead with the reservation. It might not be anyone's fault but the system's, but the end result is the same, our experience was lessened. Then, the fire alarm went off twice... False alarms. Once around noon, which isn't a big deal, but at 4 in the morning it was really infuriating. The building is very old and it's really something. However, if you choose to sleep with windows open, know that they might hit the frame all night long if there's wind, and the flaps might do the same. Both have a restraining/lock system that is old and not very effective. Very annoying. So like I said, bad experience because of the circumstances. And to that, I must add the wifi could barely reach our room I felt like it was 2010 (I know, first world problem...) The staff however is really nice and helping, the inside of the building is really something to see, and the breakfast is just perfect. Too bad they don't care about your online requests and 2 random fire alarms went off for nothing.

One of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. I was in Malmo for the Eurovision Song Contest and stayed at the Mayfair for a week. This place was perfect. It may be the only old hotel I think is perfect (I usually stay in very new hotels). The room was spacious, the view of the inner courtyard was nice, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect, about 3 blocks from the central train station, and 1 block from one end of a major plaza and the start of the main shopping street. Everything interesting at ESC was a 5 minute walk away. And the staff was great. Very helpful anytime I needed something.

I love this hotel! Historic site and old world charm. Reasonable prices and a great location. Nice rooms with modern baths. This is where I tell my friends to stay when they go to Malmö. This is where I stay when I stay in Malmö. Have Ull Storm (yes, that his very cool real name) tell you the history of the building. It is very interesting.

Best breakfast we have had in Sweden. Bathrooms are bigger than the average European bathroom. Great location. Coffee and tea all day. Could be difficult for people in wheel chairs. Very old and interesting building.

this was by far one of the best hotel experiences i have ever had. we decided to take an overnight trip to malmo from copenhagen. after checking out a few hotels online the tunneln seemed like the most unique/authentic 'old' sweden experience in close proximity to the train station/city center. the hotel was a block walk from the train station and had a really beautiful facade. we checked in and immediately were upgraded to a deluxe room. after taking the gorgeous old elevator (the kind you have to manually close the door behind you on) we wandered up the corridors to our room. along the walk the walls were covered in paintings and articles showing the history of the building. once at the room we opened the doors and were happy to see a super clean, bright and airy large room with a perfect view of the old city's skyline. this hotel, that once housed swedish royalty, actually provided FREE wifi in every room and the hotel staff were extremely helpful in giving us advice on the city. i must say hands down the best part of the whole experience was the amazing complimentary breakfast served in the ancient cellar (dating back to 1300's). you walk down the spiraling staircases and come upon a beautiful arched ceiling cellar with little nooks and crannies all over. the food was served in the "beatles lounge" (the band stayed in the hotel on a visit to malmo and supposedly tipped back a few when the cellar was used as a bar tavern in the 60s). the food was magnificent. the perfect swedish breakfast... swedish pancakes with a plethora of jams and spreads, fine cheeses and deli meats, perfectly cooked eggs, fresh baked bread, all kinds of swedish fish salads, breakfast meats, a lovely cereal and granola/yogurt bar, fruit bar and amazing juices as well as a really cool espresso machine that made cafe au lait's in seconds with the press of a button. i highly recommend staying in this hotel. it's super affordable and makes you feel like you're a royal in sweden a few centuries ago...

Stayed here as a tourist in Malmö, after moving from Malmö out to another part of Sweden far away. Amazing to discover Malmö that way and to find out we have hotels like Mayfair that keep international standards to a very high level. Mayfair is placed just around the corner from the city center, with ALL cafe, many exiting and highlevel restaurants including the hotels own and a lot of shopping possibilities. The hotel it selves is a historic building, and the atmosphere is phenomenal, the hotel personal is very helpfull and interested, they know just about everything about Malmö. The rooms are clean and kept in respect of the buildings history and you just feel great there.Breakfast at hotels in my opinion are almost always to much and the quality to low, like a competition on how much we can put in there, instead of less and higher quality. But at Mayfair, there is a lot of food to choose from, but the quality here are like the rest of the hotel at a very high level and the surroundings you are sitting in are nothing less than amazing. I just can't reccoment this hotel enough and Malmö as a distination, you discover a lot more as a tourist then you do as a citizen.

We stayed in Mayfair hotel last January on a short break with my wife. We heard about Malmo and wanted to explore the area and Copenhagen. Mayfair hotel really captured the spirit of our visit. Since we wanted to avoid big industrial hotels and rather stay in small boutique- ish place with character. Mayfair was just that with warm staff ready to help. We stayed in a deluxe room, really comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast room was a treat. An old cellar with all the details of the past certainly underlined the history of the house. Breakfast was really good with a lot of variety in hot and cold items and again helpful staff all over. Another detail which really impressed me was the old style lift which i found really cool. The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station and the main street of Malmo which i everything takes place from shopping to fairs. I definitely recommend this hotel and for sure we are coming back again
