Scandic Uplandia

  : I had loads of luggage since I was to embark on a longer international journey after my stay at Uplandia. Since there are some roadwork going on outside I was given a map of where to find the parking garage. It appeared to me that the parking garage was not located in the same building as the hotel. Therefore I carried in my luggage when checking in. I asked if the staff could arrange so that the luggage was carried up to my room while I was parking my car. This was received with amusement from the personell at front desk. Can't do that! Typical swedish service.

  : Good breakfast and a very convenient location.
  : I forgot my electric toothbrush in the room and was ready to come back from Stockholm to fetch it. However, when I contacted the receptionist, I was informed that nobody had discovered it. I was surprised to learn that the cleaning staff routinely discards items forgotten in the hotel rooms. This practice is both perplexing in terms of hospitality and concerning for the environment. Needless to say, I am thoroughly disappointed with this experience.

  : Good choice for breakfast...also time limit 10.30am
  : Only the main door outside which didn't stay open long enough with a wheelchair. One one occasion the girls behind the bar were not very professional.

  : The Scandic Hotel is in a great location, just one block off the main pedestrian-drag. The breakfast was FANTASTIC--I'm talking, a huge table just for breads, huge table just for smrgs toppings, huge table just for pancakes and oatmeal and sausages and other eggs, and even a section with gluten free and dairy free choices. They also had a sauna (bastu) in the basement, though I was only there one night so I was not able to use it. There was plenty of room in the lobby area for sitting during the day or at night, if you wanted a more communal space to be instead of in your room.
  : The room felt a bit sterile. I think it was the lighting--kinda of more cold than warm toned. So very minor, but keeps the hotel from being a 10-start "amazing!" because it was lacking some warmth and charm. The bathroom was also a touch small, which was fine for me as a solo traveler, but I'm guessing for a couple, they would find it small. These are both tiny quibbles though. You're not supposed to be spending much time in your hotel when you're traveling! And parking is not included in the price, just FYI

  : Overall OK, no frills
  : Sauna/gym area would improve with lockers

  : Central location. Good choice at breakfast.
  : Having stayed here many times (but not for some time) the changes to the layout have ripped the heart out of this hotel and it no longer has the atmosphere it had before. Many tables were left uncleared at breakfast. Staff were not as attentive as they have been in the past. The windows are in poor condition. Lack of storage in the rooms result in having to live out of your suitcase or use the bedside tables. Restaurant now very small and looks like a cafe, so no desire to want to eat there.
