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.
