Quiet, clean and cozy. We stayed for one night, we liked how flexible were check in-out. It’s very comfortable because we are travelling throughout the country and we can’t predict the time of arrival. The room was clean, the breakfast was good:) Also very quick responses to questions in correspondence, which is important when traveling. Thank you.

Quiet environment. A bit older building, former head office of some industrial company. Thus had lots of public relaxing places (play area for kids with play kitchen, games; lounges; play room for older kids/adults; TVs etc etc). Outside spaces also nice. The building also has kitchen and laudry room for guests. I think this would be great for larger group of friends, or people working in the area during the week/for a project (longer stay kind of hotel), or for moderate conference etc. Not for romantic holiday or visiting the city. Complimentary evening snack was very nice suprise! Breakfast was ok, porrige, mysli, breads, yoghurt, veggies, boiled eggs, cold cuts, cheese, coffee tea (juice machine was broken).

I wouldn't call this place necessarily a hotel, maybe a hostel as it has rooms that share bathrooms, but offer lounges, kitchenette etc. As this is older place, bathrooms are just that (old showers, plastic flooring and a hint of moldy smell). Also some WC/showers are like on cheap cruise ships. No aircon. It was very bright to sleep as curtains are not good (thin and see through) and other window in my room didn't even have blinds. Linen smelled ok though and I didn't see stains. Looking at the map, you'd think you can reach the sea, but no, all fenced out. There was no receptionist. They promised a baby bed but they forgot to tell me that guests have to get the bed from a closet themselves.

Nice room, great view onto Umeälven (not all rooms will have that of course), saw a cat from a window. Breakfast modest but meets expectations

The location is not great for carless people, I guess. If you're staying more than one night, visiting Umeå from here would be annoying

Suited our plans perfectly. Great family facilities/ breakfast/ guest kitchen in a retro cool style! Car needed to get about. Clean and tidy. Lovely, helpful team at breakfast buffet.

Big rooms. Pinpong table and pool table, playing area for the kids. Evening snack was an extra plus, and breakfast was fine. Friendly staff.

Old building in need for renovation. Ventilation was poor and we had to keep a window open.

We loved the breakfast and the evening snack that was provided at no extra charge. The hotel is a little dated, 1950 or 1960 comes to mind when looking at the furnishings. Bathroom old fashioned even for Sweden. Very comfortable sleep in two rooms with joined bathroom.

There was no possibility of convincing a taxi to take us to the Wasa line ferry Umea Sweden to Vaasa Finland. It was 2.5 miles away from the hotel and we had a long hard walk with suit cases. The staff at the hotel was helpful and called 4 different taxi companies to no avail. They did not want to drive 15 miles to pick up customers for a 2.5 mile journey.

The best hotel in town (and the only one), very calm, easy check-in (the key was waiting for me at reception), comfortable room, fast wi-fi, quiet for sleeping, big breakfast, free sandwiches offered in the evening as well and coffee, tea, huge parking free of charge with heaters, near the sea...

All was OK

The location is in a historic district, amenable to walking among the buildings in the parklike setting. Located very close to the terminal of the ferry to Finland. The single room had a nice view. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The only drawback was the lack of staffing at the time, but thanks to good information ahead of arrival, there was no problem in accessing the hotel or reaching staff via telephone.

I have no remarks in this regard. I was satisfied.

breakfast was super; room was simple but clean and quiet hotel entrance was locked so I called the number (same as described in booking.com); a lady helped out perfectly with an access code.

on arrival it looks a deserted place, however, you have received a welcome mail on the morning of your arrival which explains access to the hotel perfectly. (access code front door and location of your key)

Location - close to the ferry terminal. Room was OK, bed was good. Overall very much worth the price.
