Really clean common areas, very beautiful breakfast, room was basic but comfortable. Price was lower than Umeå's average. For me the worst thing was there was no elevator and I didn't know that. 😔

Fresh and modern

No fuss living near city centre. Super clean and modern common facilities with no passive aggressive signs like there usually are in Swedish common areas. Solid, decent breakfast for the price! Would have paid a little extra for hot meals/bacon in the morning and tea/coffee around the clock, otherwise super happy with my stay.

Nice stay downtown

Easy checkout despite that there was no staff there, clean rooms, comfortable beds, lockers in rooms, great wifi, charging station by the beds. Good breakfast, though it would be nice if it could be available until a little longer than 0830. Two blocks away from the main square which is convenient.

Nice week's stay

I had a nice stay and was there all week! Nice little breakfast and my room was private one. The only downside was it gets a little noisy at night with people opening and closing their doors. But with ear plugs, was fine.

Unorganized and missing info in the description

I found out when I got there the staff is only around for 1 hour out of the day. If you need linens call the after hours number. The room was kind of a free for all. Grab whatever blanket or pillow looked unclaimed and make it yours. The bathroom smelled of urine as well. I was not in the mood for dealing with the mess so I payed for a hotel that night. Basically if you need something extremely cheap and don't mind the lack of organization this place will be ok. Personally I'd rather pay a little more and have a better hostel experience like other's I've stayed at in Sweden.

Kaikki oli oikein hyvin, kiitos. Sain aamiaisboksin mukaan, kun lähdin aikaisin junalle, ja viereisessä keittiössä saatoin keittää aamulla kahvit. Erinomainen paikka junalla matkustaville.

Prima en kamer net hotel. Fijne keuken met alle benodigdheden wel waren de anti-aanbakpannen al wat beschadigd/verslechterd. Het ontbijt was ook lekker met ook lactose vrije yoghurt en melk als optie. De kamer was iets wat tochtig, en soms wat onrustig door de gedeelde wc en douche die er vlak naast waren. Zat aan de achterzijde van het hotel dus geen last gehad van de trein en het overige verkeer die langs de voorzijde rijden.
