This is our Budget pick in Uppsala. It suits drivers, sports fans heading to the nearby arenas, families and anyone who wants a 4-star hotel for well under the city's median price. The property lists a spa and wellness centre, a gym, a restaurant, free parking, family rooms, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a garden and a terrace. Our data tags it as pet-friendly.
Skip it if you want to stroll to the cathedral and the old centre. The main sights are around 40 minutes away on foot. Groups who need the sofa bed should also take note: guests call those hard and noisy.
Location and getting around
The address is Tennisvägen. Guests like that it is close to the highway and the sports arenas, with easy access by car. The location sub-score is 8.4, lower than the other numbers in its profile.
The Linnaean Garden is about 3.1 km away, around 39 minutes on foot. Uppsala Cathedral and the Church of Sweden site listed in our data are both about 3.4 km, around 43 minutes. All three are far, so plan on public transport, a taxi or your car. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.3 out of 10 from 3,530 reviews, a large review base. On review score it ranked joint sixth of the 7 eligible properties compared, so it is not among the city's top-rated hotels.
Breakfast is the standout: guests describe a varied, tasty buffet with plenty of fresh items. The easy car access near the highway and arenas is the other plus. On the downside, regular mattresses are generally comfortable but the sofa beds are described as hard and noisy.
