Best place to stay in Umeå.

It's the best place to stay if you are in Umeå. Clean, great breakfast, very comfortable. And the money you put in the room goes back to the kids. It's a win win.

Great value for the price

The hotel is very well located - close to the center and the central station. I stayed in a single room and it was very clean and nice, modern furniture and a comfortable bed. Very clean facilities overall! The staff was very helpful and friendly via email before and also at my arrival. Overall a great place, the only downside are the prices and even thus are quite good for what you get compared to other places. I would have liked a dorm room for those traveling on a lower budget.

Really clean common areas, very beautiful breakfast, room was basic but comfortable. Price was lower than Umeå's average. For me the worst thing was there was no elevator and I didn't know that. 😔

Very noisy -- don't expect to be able to sleep

Excessive noise from cars in the street all night. The hotel's solution was to offer earplugs to their guests. Trust me, you are going to need them. But do not expect to be able to sleep since the noise is beyond any earplug on earth. And no breakfast for us, since the breakfast service didn't open until late in the morning -- and we couldn't wait that long before we had to leave, just as many other guests.

Vore tacksam om det tydligt framgår att det ingår frukost i bokningen. Det var svårt att läsa sig fram till det i efterhand. Frukosten vara en av de bästa hittills i hotellsvängen, men när en swishkod med pris för frukost dök upp blev vi lite osäkra om frukost ingick (fick fråga oss fram om det).
