Hotel berhampiran Koloniträdgårdsföreningen Viola -stadsodling, Uppsala

There was a horrible sewer stench in my room throughout my 3-day visit to the extend I thought I was turning into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle at some point. I was staying at the 3rd floor, and my colleague at 5th floor had the same issue, so this wasn’t a one off. My two other colleagues in other rooms didn’t experience it. I complained about it three times, but nothing was done. One guy was supposedly sent to check it out, whilst I wasn’t there, but the response was, he couldn’t smell it. Later I realized, the smell started whenever I flushed the toilet or used the sink. The guy must have not known. I guarantee you, if he had turned on the water, he would have instantly noticed. Other than that: Great staff and aside from the horrible smell – great stay. Edit: After I left, my Ninja Turtle mutation has now completed, and I combat villains every night wearing nothing but my shell and a headband. My diet consists of 100% pizza. 5/5 would visit again.

Great room--quite spacious, great staff--all of whom were professional. I loved the view of the train tracks and station, though there was no noise. Solid breakfast. Overall, excellent.

Room is nice and cozy, and hotel layout is unique. Combined shower/toilet design helps save space. Hotel does not have a 24 hour desk, and after hours support is lacking. Hotel has transitioned to a digital key, and mine did not work a few days after check in, at 2 AM. After hours instructions are to dial a special number on the front door keypad which results in a very short time to talk to the after hours support. I was instructed to access the hotel safe to retrieve a digital yellow master key, after multiple redials. The safe was full of physical keys, but no digital keys! My door had no physical keyhole. Repeated calls to after hour support urged me to keep looking for a master key, until I gave up and just slept on a couch in the lobby. When the morning staff arrived at ~06:30, they had to wake up another guest to retrieve the master key from their room. Staff was able to get me a functional key hours later. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel, and more importantly, my flight on my checkout day 2 days later would require me to leave the hotel before the morning staff arrived. I could not trust the hotel to maintain access to my belongings after hours, so I checked out and moved to a hotel with a 24 hour desk (the only reason booked Hotel Stella to begin with was because all others in the area were booked, but an opening came up). The new hotel was comparable price but much nicer for a similar price. Wish they would have had availability to begin with. I requested a refund of my unused nights from Hotel Stella and the owner blamed me for my experience. After multiple rounds of communication, he offered to reimburse me for the night I spent on the couch, but would not excuse me checking out early, calling my reasoning a ”fantasy”. This is a solid hotel, but beware the management!

Hotel was generally very good. Staff in the hotel were very nice and kind. The room was quite calm. It's good for the rest. Near the hotel is a fuel station and a lot of shopping centres. For sure, I will come back to this hotel during my next trip to Uppsala.

he apartment turned out to be better than expected, the only problem being location. When we booked we weren’t too worried about location as we have a car to get into town centre – in reality parking anywhere near the town centre is a nightmare for tourists. You need a parking app on your phone and also need to understand Swedish (which we don’t). In the end we returned to the apartment and took a bus instead – the number 6 bus stops around 400 metres away. The apartment block looks fairly new and there is some private parking available outside, although not one for every apartment and not bookable. Loads of space for pushbikes. The common areas inside the building are clean and tidy, a guest laundry is available. Our room was slightly bigger than expected, reasonable cooking facilities and a well designed bathroom to maximise available space. Overall a good stay, but if you’re going to centrum don’t even think about taking a car unless you understand the process or Swedish.

Another little gem and highly recommended. We booked this hotel as an overnighter, having flown in from Lulea (northern Sweden0 that afternoon and on our way to Budapest. The hotel is about 15km from Arlanda Airport, so quite convenient. Just beware (see my other review) of the outrageous charges imposed on a 15km taxi ride.by an “outfit” called weride. They pepper the arrivals door at the airport.. The hotel is actually a converted boarding school from the 30’s we think, but the Town, Sigtuna is the OLDEST in Sweden and very, very interesting. We only had a late afternoon to wander, but will be coming back to explore this fascinating town dating back to the Viking era. Hotel Kristina is run by a family with the familiar, personal touch. Rooms are ok in size and the bathroom, also good with piping hot water. The restaurant, breakfast and bar were great and the hotel features an outdoor sunroom/greenhouse which is heated. We sat “outside” with drinks and enjoyed the pitter-patter of rain on the glass panels. By far the highlight was the staff who were exceptionally friendly, helpful and had a great sense of humour. Just be aware that access to reception is via steps although there is an elevator the staff can operate for luggage and mobility compromised visitors/guests. The town, via Hotel Kristina is worthy of a dedicated day;s exploration if you are heading to Stockholm. Highly recommended as stated at the outset.

Stayed one night for a sleep over for my flight. Hotel was easy to locate and check in was smooth. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast selection was lacking as I feel it can be better. Some of the fruits do not seem very fresh. Otherwise a good stay overall.

This was great after arriving late. Comfortable and clean room, lots of space for working in the lobby, great WiFi and excellent breakfast. And they kindly let us do late checkout for free. Would absolutely recommend The only improvement is that there wasn’t any clear signage how to find the airport from the hotel. On the way back to the airport the next day, we found a much easier way.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, making me feel right at home. The location couldn't have been better, with easy access to everything I needed. The overall comfort of the room and amenities exceeded my expectations, ensuring a relaxing stay. I particularly appreciated the convenience of the shuttle bus service, which made getting around the area a breeze. I'll definitely be choosing this hotel again for my next visit!

Excellent location with a complementary shuttle service from/to the airport every 30 min. The rooms are spacious and clean. It includes a kettle so you can make coffee or tea any time during your stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet is served between 4 am and 10 an. and you have plenty of options to choose from. Great choice if you need to catch an early flight next morning.
