IKEA Hotel

As we toured Scandinavia, one of my friends wanted to specifically stay at this hotel for a night, just because it was Ikea. We'd been in Malmö for a couple of nights and were on our way to Stockholm and this hotel was in between the two cities, although much closer to Malmö. We took the train and the hotel is visible from the train station so it's not too far of a walk, even when pulling your luggage.||I wasn't really sure what to expect but the hotel was larger than I'd realized. Since there were three of us we'd reserved a family room that has two sets of bunk beds. The upper bunks have a permanent railing to keep occupants from rolling out of the bed, as well as ladders that are fixed in place. Each bunk has a curtain that can be pulled for privacy as well as a single electrical outlet, a light, and a small shelf for glasses, books, phones, etc.||The bathroom was on the small side but had a nice, wide ledge over the sink that was big enough for all three of us to store our toiletry bags on. And, hooray, the shower had a full-length door that kept all the water in the shower area. Now if only the combo shampoo/body wash product could be swapped out for separate toiletries plus a conditioner!||On the ground floor there were lots of common area with various types of seating as well as a play area for small children. The next floor up has an area called The Living Room which is a communal kitchen area where guests can make their own coffee/tea or prepare their own meals.||The ground floor also offers two sets of complimentary washers and dryers. Our stop here was halfway through our tour so we spent several hours in the laundry room and really just enjoying not being on our feet all day.||I was amazed at the number of people who showed up at breakfast as I'd seen almost none of them in the hotel the previous day. But breakfast is a huge affair with a a massive buffet of all kinds of food.||Other places to dine nearby include Grillen, just beside the hotel. It's open for lunch during the week and for dinner each night. Across the parking lot from the hotel is the Ikea Museum (you get free museum entrance if you're staying at the hotel) and they have a lunch-only restaurant which was decent. Beyond that you'll need to wander into Älmhult for food.||The website only accepts reservations six months in advance, so keep that in mind when looking to book your stay.||The hotel was surprisingly large, modern, and thoroughly Ikea. I'm not sure what else there is to do in the area so I don't know that I'd ever find myself in Älmhult again, but if I did, I'd be happy to stay here.

The IKEA Hotel is an fantastic choice for families. The rooms are simple, clean, and practical. The breakfast is good, and they provide free tickets to the IKEA Museum. We really enjoyed our stay!

Staff was nice, she gave me an early check in at 1.30pm, tack~ Room rate was reasonable, room size fit me because I stayed alone. Provided hair dryer, body wash in the room. A small tv which was enough for me. Including breakfast but I didn't enjoy it, I had an early train the next morning. All in house guest could go to the museum for free~ There are few restaurants and supermarkets nearby that just about 10mins walk, needed to across the train station.

For one night when driving down south.. was a good place to stay. Sad that the museum was open only to 6pm. Could have been open 1h longer. Since when one is traveling it is very rare to arrive early. Loved the friendliness of staff everywhere. Rooms where good and comfortable. Bed was a big plus. Shower cabinet could have been a little bigger. Breakfast was great. Dinner at the grill was a disappointment. We ordered a bottle of wine. Never saw the bottle and the wine was way too cold. Appetizers were good but maincourse selections were only 2, we took the brisket. Half of the meat was not eatable. Horrible meat. Nice stay and would recommend for people traveling by

The breakfast here was nice. The only thing is the bacon was over cooked. But most everything was good.

Nice place to stay, but I was slightly disappointed with not every items in the room was from IKEA. Is that because it has to be durable? Anyway one thing you must not forget is your toothpaste otherwise you need to buy one from the reception.

I have only been to the restaurant for dinner. They only have very few vegan options unfortunately. Not very cozy, a big simple and pretty basic look. Big outside seating area which is a plus, but its next to a carpark. The old restaurant that was inside the hotel was alot cosier.

Place with nice atmosphere. Delicious breakfast with rich menu. Room in old part of the hotel very poor. No available el. contact in room. Toilet in ferry style... Hotel looks good on the hall and common space. Thats it.

I'm giving this a 5 because it was a bargain. Really amazing and courteous service, I stayed in the old section, the brand new hotel will be ready with in the next few months. I came to stay here so that I could visit the IKEA Museum The rooms are furnished with IKEA furniture. They look out on a Courtyard and garden also furniture with items from IKEA. The garden furniture and plant accessory product line is much more extensive than what's available in the US. I presume that's because IKEA would be competing with Home Depot and the other big box store. The Ikea Hotel will eventually have conference rooms, a nice business center and many other amenities. It will house IKEA co-workers who come for training from all over the world.

Great value for the price in otherwise expensive Sweden. . Good restaurant as well (not the same menu as an IKEA store, more upscale). Free laundry machines and bicycles. Extremely clean facility. Staff was very friendly and helpful to this American tourist.

I love this hotel tremendously! I'm a frequent traveler for business and pleasure and this hotel made it to my top 3 in the world list. The staff, stylish simplistic design, the comfortable touches, free laundry onsite, the multiple meeting rooms and hangout space, and the fresh garden to pick from our back all make this place stand out from other hotels around the world.
