Hotell Centralstation

Right next to the central station, very good value for money. Late and good, cheap breakfast. Would certainly stay here again. My room had four bunk beds and no windows, like a ship cabin. But the advantage is that it is very silent, no street noise. If you are alone or only 2 people in the room, it is very nice. At full occupancy, it may be a bit cramped. Mattresses were good (real spring mattresses), pillows OK. Reading lamps at each bed, and electric sockets. There was noise from other rooms at some times during the night, but nothing terrible – it can happen randomly. Digital nomads and others who need to study or work can use the very large breakfast/lounge area, which is bright, silent and has large windows to the street and old central station. Or you can borrow a chair and bring it to the room. The communal bathroom area is large and clean. Breakfast for 95 SEK is a bargain. Served until 11 at weekdays and 13 in weekdays. The buffet was like an average hotel – with two additions: there are very good gluten-free options (good kinds of bread, three müslis, good corn flakes) – and you can bake your own wafers which are all gluten-free. I dared to use the wafer machines and didn't get any adverse reaction. There is also oat milk, but gluten-free plant milk is lacking. They need to get soy milk too. Laundry costs 75 SEK and you get to use the laundry room for 2 hours. The kitchen is large and very clean, but should be better equipped. Ample space in refrigerators, and one freezer. They provide only paper cups, no real glasses or cups. That is not sustainable.

Very basic accommodation, but the price is right. The breakfast is a definite plus. As I was here to see a concert and really only needed a bed, this place was perfect. 👌

Great breakfast bar. Pay and eat as much as you want. They have waffles too!

If you consider to stay at this price, I strongly advice you to read our experience in advance. I wish I would have done the same... You won't get a hotel room, but a prison cell. The hotel's location is excellent and this is the cheapest place in this area, also the staff is helpful. But if you are even slightly claustrophobic, this place will give you nightmares. There are no windows in the rooms, and the rooms are extremely small, about 6-7 m2. So you have a bed, and if you book a "larger" room, you even get your own bathroom. Yay... I work in tourism myself and have seen many hotels, but never thought that such a place could exist. So long story short, the rooms are extremely small, you don't have a window, and if you don't pay attention, you will end up with a shared bathroom. This place is just depressing, the rooms make you feel like being in jail. And although being the cheapest, it's way too pricey for what it provides. So better invest a couple of kronor more and book a decent accommodation.

The facilities of the shared bathroom and kitchen are great, but one's experience at this hostel is largely subject to the cleanliness of other guests. Sometimes people made a mess and it was unsightly. I also heard sounds from adjacent rooms, but luckily no one had been loud at night. I personally have no other complaint, but for the same price I have enjoyed included breakfasts, bigger rooms, and bathrooms shared by less people in Brussels, Münster, and München; and Uppsala is not as expensive a city. That said, great location and very nice staff. And the temperature is very conductive to good sleep.

Located right in the city centre close to grocery stores, cafes, etc. The stuff is super friendly and willing to help! The property is clean, tidy, and quiet. Kitchen is available, fully-equipped with everything a person needs. Bedrooms are equipped with all the amenities needed. Beds are comfortable, too. The bathroom is clean, hot water available. Wi-fi is good (average speed). All in all, excellent price/value ratio. Recommend it!

Decent rooms and breakfast with plenty of showers but an extreme lack of toilets. The rating is based on low expectations which they failed to meet due to the toilets

Very clean hotel, internal room meant no windows or ventilation, but regardless for the price it was comfortable and did the job. Staff are warm and friendly, shower and toilet area are well maintained, shower rooms could do with a coat hook, but are totally functional. A continental style buffet is available at an additional cost, there was a good variety of foods and cereals available and waffles could be made fresh to order. Excellently located for shops and the local bus station! Overall good value for the price!
