Lovely hotel, maximising contrast with the uninspiring room

It's located right next to the castle and the cathedral, and a short downhill walk to town. The breakfast was very good with a large selection and lots of options for different dietary preferences. The communal areas of the hotel were stylish and comfortable. The staff were all polite and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the duvet soft. Overall, I slept well here.

Great stay

Perfect stay. Beautiful room. Helpfull staff and delicious breakfast with very wide selection. There was no kettle in the room, but coffee and tea was prepared at the restaurant, so you could enjoy it for free.

Thanks so much and hope to be back soon!

The breakfast is great, especially the healthy shots. I love the hot tiles in the bathroom and the beautiful art deco interiors. Staff are friendly and the location is tops. I love this hotel, it's the third time I go there. Definitely my favorite hotel in the world!

Not quite as charming as before the (still ongoing?) revamp, but still my favourite Uppsala hotel.

Charming, great location, friendly staff, good breakfast. It's great to have the sauna, and that you can book it for 1-hour slots for private use, but the sauna area could do with an upgrade, or at least a little TLC (for example a clock/timer inside the sauna, a ladle in the water bucket, some glasses for water?)

Perfect for a stay in the center of Uppsala

The hotel is perfectly located in Uppsala's city center. Parking is available for an additional fee. The (family) room was perfect and very spacious, as we had also access to the adjacent kitchen. Very good breakfast !

Great location to see the city

Comfortable bed. Good bathroom with nice shower. Great TV, perfect for use with a console like a switch. Wifi worked well. Location is good especially with the option to pay for parking. You can park your car in the underground parking or outside for a fee. You need to reserve a parking spot.
