Elite Hotel Ideon, Lund
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a 4-star hotel with a well-reviewed breakfast buffet, a gym and a very large review base, and you do not mind being about 25 minutes on foot from the cathedral. If cleanliness is your first concern, read recent reviews first, since some guests mention dust and missed spots in bathrooms.

Business travellers, people visiting the Ideon area and anyone who values a good breakfast will find a lot to like. The score is 8.2 out of 10 from 2,089 reviews, the largest review count among our three Lund picks.
Families can look at the listed family rooms, and the property is tagged as pet-friendly, though pet rules and fees are not confirmed.
Skip it if you want to step out straight into the old centre. The cathedral is about 25 minutes away on foot. Travellers on a tight budget should also look at our cheaper Budget pick.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Scheelevägen 27. Guests rate the location 8.1 out of 10, which is decent but lower than other parts of the profile.
The Museum of Sketches for Public Art is about 1.5 km away, roughly 19 minutes walking. Lund Cathedral is about 2 km, around 25 minutes. Dalby Söderskog National Park is 8.5 km away, more than an hour and a half on foot, so it is far and you will need public transport or a taxi.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Real routes can take longer.
What guests say
Breakfast gets the most praise: an extensive buffet with a wide range of hot and cold options. Staff are described as friendly, helpful and service-minded, with a warm welcome at arrival.
On the negative side, cleanliness is described as generally good, but some guests found dust, stains or missed spots in bathrooms. It is not the dominant theme, but it is worth checking the most recent reviews.
Price and how it compares with our other Lund picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) was €164.25 per night. That sits above the sample median of €147.03. This is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Motel L Lund, scored 8.3 and was seen at €78.95. Our Luxury pick, Best Western Plus Park City Lund, scored 8.5 at €147.03. In this sample, the Best Value hotel was actually the most expensive of the three for those dates, and it has the lowest score. That is unusual, so compare the three on your own dates before deciding.
What you get: free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a fitness centre and air conditioning. Breakfast is listed as continental and buffet, but whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 3 eligible hotels in Lund. The Best Value slot balances guest score, review volume and price, so it does not always go to the cheapest hotel. With 2,089 reviews, this hotel has the most evidence behind its rating, and that weighed in its favour.
Its score placed it joint third of the three, so be clear about the trade-off: you get more reviews and a strong breakfast reputation rather than the top rating.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check the room details and cancellation policy for your rate.
Confirm whether breakfast is included, and check gym opening hours and any spa access, since the tag is listed but details are not confirmed. If you bring a pet, ask about rules and fees.
