Gay couple hotel review of the gay-friendly Ohboy Bike Hotel in Malmö, Sweden. During our Swedish summer adventure to Malmö, we stayed at the gay-friendly bike hotel in the Western Harbor. Centrally located just around the corner from the shore of the Baltic Sea, the Ohboy offers loft hotel rooms with complimentary bikes and enough space to sleep, cook, eat and work.

The 2-star hotel was the first gay-friendly accommodation of our 10 days trip to Malmö and Southern Sweden, Skåne and is an innovative example of the Scandinavian design and efficiency in construction and smart living solutions. Enjoy our photos, story and tips and we are convinced that we can inspire you to book a stay at the gay-friendly Ohboy Bike Hotel in the Western Harbor in Malmö with our Couple of Men gay couple hotel review.

Review of the Ohboy Bike Hotel in Malmö

We stayed at the loft room 12 located on the ground floor (like all the other loft rooms) with a convenient parking spot for our complimentary rental bikes. The apartment has two floors. The lower level had a comfortable double bed, a small working space and a bathroom with a shower. On the upper floor, the hotel makers installed a hammock, a corner booth and a fully functioning and equipped kitchen (refrigerator, induction hob plate, microwave), where liked to prepare our own breakfast and dinner. Organic coffee and tea was part of the amenities. We especially liked the compact yet functional overall build of the Ohboy Bike Hotel in Malmö and the circumstance, that we, thanks to our bikes, were able to be in the city center or at the beach after just 5 to 10 biking minutes.

Bike-friendly loft hotel rooms

The interiors of the Ohboy Bike Hotel loft rooms are locally sourced and the design, the production, and all materials for the furniture are from the south of Sweden. Additional to that, the smart design of the Ohboy Bike Hotel in Malmö received several awards for the creative sustainable solutions that have been applied to it. Bikers and Skater Fans will be especially pleased with the bike-friendly hotel that offers not only complimentary bikes but also a skateboard and helmet for the skatepark located right in front of the Ohboy Hotel Malmö.

Exploring the South Swedish City of Malmö

Malmö, the third biggest city of Sweden, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, is the cultural center of the Southern Swedish county Skåne. Especially in the past couple of years after the world-famous Øresund Bridge was built and Malmö University opened its gates, Malmö became more and more attractive to investors and young professionals from all over the world. We arrived by plane at Copenhagen Airport and took the train over the Øresund Bridge to Malmö Central Station. Due to the close connection to the Baltic Sea, the best way to see some of Malmö’s highlights like the lighthouses, the typical Scanian buildings, and parks, and, of course, the rough but beautiful shoreline is by bike and by boat during a self-guided boat tour.
