Find the Cheap Uppsala Hotels

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.

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!

The location is on the edge of the city, but the city is not big, the traffic is convenient, it takes only three minutes to reach the nearby large supermarket, which is very convenient. The hotel breakfast is suitable, the breakfast variety is there, there is hot water supply, it is difficult to find some hot water in Europe. The hotel room is large, and two folding sofas can be opened. The room can accommodate 4 people.

I went to Uppsala with my son to attend a seminar. Sweden was cold in March but the hotel staff at Akademihotellet were exceptionally warm. I would like to thank Jessica and Linnea for being so approachable and helpful. The twin room I booked was cozy and had enough space for a big luggage and smaller handcarry luggage. The room was warm and I loved the heater in the bathroom. The hotel was very near the Uppsala University where I had my seminar. A stone’s throw away is the very interesting bookstore, the Antikvariat Thomas Andersson whose owner is very friendly and a storehouse of knowledge. My son and I loved the pantry which was accessible 24 hours and had a coffee/hot chocolate machine and biscuits, as well as still water and sparkling water. The hotel also offers a laundry area with a washing machine and dryerl but the washing machine looked as of it had a red stain. They also have a sauna and a small gym free for guests.

The location is very good, the bus hub and train at the door, walking distance from the block and the castle church, it is very convenient. There is also a gym, a variety of games inside, a nice place

Breakfast is good, free. It is estimated that there is no extra bed, it is suitable for children, because the surrounding area is the center of the city, there is no parking lot, but there are many cars on the side.

Breakfast is not bad, DIY cakes, hot food is not much. The room is small, you can only put a bed, look at the surrounding environment before entering the room, if you are in the bathroom, it is recommended to contact the waiter to change a house, it will be very noisy.
