Vandrarhem Uppsala - Portalgatan

Stayed for 5 days in a 1 person room. Ground floor room facing the parking lot. Pro’s: Can walk to central Uppsala in 15-20 minutes. Clean. Everything needed for simple cooking (including a freezer) is available. Not to much noise from co-inhabitants. Functional WiFi. Smooth check-out. Con’s: 1-person room is substantially smaller than photos shown on webpage. There is a window, but it only opens maybe 2-3cm leaving it impossible to air out the room. Be ready for a 10minute walk to the nearest bus stop if you do not have a car. Room at ground floor level means that there is a substantial risk that the view from your (small) window will be looking out directly onto a parking lot- as in a person sitting in the parked car will be 1 meter from your window, necessitating use of the blinds if you want any privacy. Furthermore the parking lot is used by many of the inhabitants as a hangout place for smoking. You may have to make a stop by central Uppsala prior to check-in for payment at the hotel reception at another branch of the hotel depending on your booking method.
