For the price you can’t beat it. It was very well located, clean and comfortable. If I had to quibble there isn’t a proper desk in the room which is tricky for working but not the end of the world. The staff were polite and helpful. The rooms are small but then you can’t expect bigger at this price point.
I had an amazing stay at Scandic Uplandia! From the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and ensure I had everything I needed. They were genuinely friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The room was comfortable, clean, and had all the amenities I could ask for, making it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was warm and inviting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay with fantastic service!”
The front desk staff are amazing and truly helpful. Breakfast is very good and caters well to special dietary requirements. However, the room was basic. The primary issue was the extremely poor hygiene standards in the room, with thick layers of dirt and dust everywhere, as shown in the photos. The mattress was thin and uncomfortable. Additionally, the furniture and fixtures were old and damaged. There was no complimentary water, and the tea bags and milk were not replaced. Amenities were available upon request only, and there was no fridge or safe. Overall, it was poor value for money.
Hotel was generally very good. Staff in the hotel were very nice and kind. The room was quite calm. It's good for the rest. Near the hotel is a fuel station and a lot of shopping centres. For sure, I will come back to this hotel during my next trip to Uppsala.
I went to Uppsala with my son to attend a seminar. Sweden was cold in March but the hotel staff at Akademihotellet were exceptionally warm. I would like to thank Jessica and Linnea for being so approachable and helpful. The twin room I booked was cozy and had enough space for a big luggage and smaller handcarry luggage. The room was warm and I loved the heater in the bathroom. The hotel was very near the Uppsala University where I had my seminar. A stone’s throw away is the very interesting bookstore, the Antikvariat Thomas Andersson whose owner is very friendly and a storehouse of knowledge. My son and I loved the pantry which was accessible 24 hours and had a coffee/hot chocolate machine and biscuits, as well as still water and sparkling water. The hotel also offers a laundry area with a washing machine and dryerl but the washing machine looked as of it had a red stain. They also have a sauna and a small gym free for guests.
Room is nice and cozy, and hotel layout is unique. Combined shower/toilet design helps save space. Hotel does not have a 24 hour desk, and after hours support is lacking. Hotel has transitioned to a digital key, and mine did not work a few days after check in, at 2 AM. After hours instructions are to dial a special number on the front door keypad which results in a very short time to talk to the after hours support. I was instructed to access the hotel safe to retrieve a digital yellow master key, after multiple redials. The safe was full of physical keys, but no digital keys! My door had no physical keyhole. Repeated calls to after hour support urged me to keep looking for a master key, until I gave up and just slept on a couch in the lobby. When the morning staff arrived at ~06:30, they had to wake up another guest to retrieve the master key from their room. Staff was able to get me a functional key hours later. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel, and more importantly, my flight on my checkout day 2 days later would require me to leave the hotel before the morning staff arrived. I could not trust the hotel to maintain access to my belongings after hours, so I checked out and moved to a hotel with a 24 hour desk (the only reason booked Hotel Stella to begin with was because all others in the area were booked, but an opening came up). The new hotel was comparable price but much nicer for a similar price. Wish they would have had availability to begin with. I requested a refund of my unused nights from Hotel Stella and the owner blamed me for my experience. After multiple rounds of communication, he offered to reimburse me for the night I spent on the couch, but would not excuse me checking out early, calling my reasoning a ”fantasy”. This is a solid hotel, but beware the management!
