WORST:
- I asked if I could get an iron to iron my shirt for the next day. By the receptionist I was handed a key to the luggage room were the iron was located. However by handing me the key to this room, I could also potentially take all the luggage stored in the room (which of coarse I did not). I.e. everyone asking to iron their clothing could get access to your stored luggage!

GOOD:
- Check-in
- Internet availability
- Possible to open window
- Shower pressure
- Parking free and close to hotel

BAD:
- Very limited seating during breakfast (especially at 06:30-07:00)
- Very few newspapers awailable during breakfast
- Internet download speed
- Cleanliness of room

In principle a nice but a bit remote (~3km out of town) place but....
Lets start from the beginning: Very helpful staff at the reception and in the restaurant. Great breakfast. Nice entrance. Everything clean - except the room. Stains on the carped and the best way to deal with the fungus in the shower (those you can see): Give them names but don't take them home.....
Not as worse as the room but also a little bit strange: The breakfast area. All chairs full of stains and dirty that you would prefer not to sit down. Many words: see the pictures.....
P.S. found the bed with the multi-layer-mattress-construction not too comfortable...

The room was clean and comfortable room- midway in size between Holiday Inn Express and Travelodge rooms. The furnishings/ decorations in the public areas could have done with renewing . Staff were friendly and spoke good English and the room rate (approx £100 per night including a reasonable breakfast with a good choice ) was very good value especially by Scandinavian standards .
The hotel is not actually that near Gammla (Old) Uppsala although it is in a quiet area of the town. The hotel has bikes available for free hire but if you are otherwise without transport a hotel in the centre of town might be more convenient .

This hotel is on the edge of Uppsala, a 20-minute walk from the town centre, but well located for the motorway network. It has ample free car parking.

It has a motel-flavour to it, but the staff were very pleasant and helpful with maps and directions. The room was a good size, but slightly basic and (typical for Scandics) lacking toiletries and tissues. The restaurant was closed during my visit (Sunday night), but the breakfast was fine the following morning.
