Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that your room experience was bad. Our location in the city center of Uppsala, can bring som noice from the streets outside, but I I hope you enjoy the room itself? If I understand you right, you extend your stay with one night? That requered a payment at the reception for that night. Best regards, Scandic Uplandia

Check for renovated rooms
I ordered an upgraded room and all of the photos on the internet showed upgraded rooms. Unfortunately we did not get an upgraded room and instead got a room that is in very much need of a renovation. But I think that they are renovating all of the rooms, it just takes time. It was just frustrating to get a worn out room when there were some rooms renovated and it did not say in any of the information. The lobby, bar and breakfast area were very nice and beautifully renovated. Hopefully if we stay here next time everything will be ready.

Great location, mediocre service, room was cold.
The best part of this hotel is the location. Easy walk to anything you might want to see downtown Uppsala. There was no heat in the room, but after calling the front desk, they promised a portable heater to be brought when the front desk shift changed. That wasn't good enough, so I went downstairs to get the heater, and they then brought it up immediately. It worked well. The elevator to the garage is a serious pain the butt. You have to pull open a door, with a lot of force before the elevator sliding door is accessible. Same when you get out, you have to push the outer door open with a lot of force, which is difficult when you have two heavy luggage bags with you. Also, when leaving the hotel the last time, you don't have any room key anymore, so you cannot activate the elevator to the basement to get to your car. Another pain in the butt. You have to exit the elevator through that heavy door and go ask for a spare key, and then get back in, and then throw the key away after you have gotten to your car. Not very green, with no really benefit to security either. There is a sauna the elevator goes to as well, perhaps that is why there is such security on that elevator. The breakfast was the second best of seven hotels in Sweden and Germany we stayed at. Normal cold cuts and so on, but a great selection, not oversalted. The trash can in the bathroom was another pain. You had to open with one hand, and put the trash in the other. Why not a foot operated lid?

Dated and not good value for money
Very dated hotel. Stayed in an few Scandia hotels and this one has been the lowest standard. Not cheap either in comparison to others I have stayed in Uppsala. Room was over powered by the huge air con system. The bathroom was tired and needed work. Whiles walls were very thin and you could hear everyone. Breakfast was ok and staff were ok.

Great location for central Uppsala
Ten minute wait at reception.Only one receptionist. No apology for the wait and no smile. When you book a twin room you would expect the beds to be more than 20cm apart. Two people, four nights. Four hangers, no drawers or cupboards for clothes. Only a place for one suitcase. Swedish minimalism taken perhaps a little too far. Ideal for a short business trip, less so for a leisure vacation. Great bathroom. Fabulous breakfast.

Stayed for 3 nights with my mum and sister while visiting my son who lives and studies in Uppsala. We were all very comfortable and found everything more than satisfactory. Especially grateful to a member of staff who helped me to my room in a wheelchair when I became unwell at breakfast on my first morning. Nothing to do with the food!

The hotel is very conveniently located to shopping and restaurants. It is a couple of blocks from the train station but it wasn't a bad walk even with our luggage. The rooms are quite small but we had an amazing view of the Uppsala Cathedral from our window! The breakfast buffet was delicious. We would stay here again.

It's Getting Better
We've stayed here several times in the past and felt that the rooms were a bit "Spartan". They're getting better but clothing storage is still lacking. The staff is very helpful, the breakfast is outstanding, the availability of internet connection is good and the location is super. We would stay there again.

Stayed here for 5 nights in a business trip. Room was basic but comfortable. Importantly the temperature was just right. Hotel is in an excellent location with easy walk to restaurants. I didn't eat dinner at the hotel but breakfast was fine, with some excellent bacon. Bar is a bit soulless but showing football most nights. Parking garage was easy to use.

Central Uppsala Location
Holiday itself is centrally located in downtown Uppsala, just a short walk away from major shopping and restaurants. Close to all main sights of the city. Front desk staff very helpful and and informative. Room is typical of Scandic quality - very clean, everything works.Breakfast is pretty much standard fare, but also of good quality and quantity. I have no hesitation of recommending the hotel to others, and would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful breakfast
Best breakfast buffet I've ever seen. The bed was extremely comfortable, too. The only issue I encountered was a problem with my heating system, and the friendly folks at the front desk lent me a space heater since I had already unpacked and didn't want to change rooms. They were also able to answer questions about restaurants and helped in other ways throughout my stay.

I stayed here for five nights while I worked near by at the university. The bed was comfortable, it had a great shower in the room and there was also free wifi. Although the room was tidied each day, it wasn't cleaned, the bin was a bit horrible with old stains at the bottom and the sink didn't get cleaned each day. The staff at the hotel are very helpful and friendly. The food is good at the bar, although it could do with having a few more things to choose from on the menu.
