The rooms were not really heated. We shortened the stay. Other travelers seemed to be okay with it. The problem didn't seem to be able to be solved. It's a shame because the location is ideal for visiting and reaching the station. To see in the future

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 paid £134 for a two-night weekend stay in September. The hotel is directly opposite the railway station, so a good, central location. It is next to a shopping centre with a large supermarket and other shops, so handy to buy takeout food. The room was fine and the shower room larger than some I’ve been in recently, so no need to turn and twist when having a shower or using the toilet. The price included breakfast which was a good choice of food and hot scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage. The hotel will also do a takeout breakfast if you have to leave early. All in all a great price – I recently paid more than £134 for one night in a Hamburg hotel which was in a terrible area – particularly as Sweden is not a low cost country.

A quaint hotel in a very good location close to the central station and the main business district. Very good and friendly staff with a lovely breakfast. Wonderful smoothies and they even thought about an immunity boost in the range of drinks.

Well located in the city centre, very close to the main station, but nevertheless quiet. Ample and tasty breakfast, good internet connection, BUT...heating in the room was not working. 4pm. Repair guy not reachable, OK; happens, but next day-same story. Hotel also unable to issue an invoice. Bottom line, excellent infrastructure, but personnel and service are a nightmare.

I needed to book several rooms for a business trip and staff was very supportive during the whole process. The hotel is simple, clean and staff is kind. Breakfast room really nice and breakfast was really good!

The Best Western Svava Hotel in Uppsala is a very nice place to stay, convenient location next to train station and the old part of the town, clean, sufficiently large rooms with modern equipment, very calm, excellent breakfast, all at a good price. You get real value here, and this is why I choose the Best Western Svava whenever I am in Uppsala. This time, however, I was greatly dissatisfied with the way I was treated on arrival and departure. On July 24, I arrived pretty early around 10am, my room was not ready yet, so I had to wait. I asked if it could be made possible to give me the room somewhat earlier, and the receptionist let me know that she was confident to have it ready for me by noon and would be going to inform me immediately when this were to happen. By the end of this conversation she could not resist to point out to me that check-in to the room was not guaranteed before 3:30pm. At noon, I asked again, room still not ready, and again I was instructed that there was no claim to get the room before 3:30pm. Same game at 1pm when I decided to go for a brief lunch. Back from lunch around 2:30pm same procedure, but this time I was offered an immediately available alternative which was a room in which the window could not be opened (it was summer and pretty hot and stuffy air at that time). After having been waiting so long for a room with window, I declined with thanks and stood by for another hour. At 3:30pm (the receptionist had changed around 3), I stepped up to the desk and received my room without any comment or delay. A similar experience awaited me at checkout. I asked if I could pay with my bank card, and the receptionist answered that my bill had been charged to my credit card already (which I had to deposit at reservation time). In my experience, bills are never automatically charged to your credit card that is deposited as a security when booking. Rather, you always get asked at checkout time how you wish to pay, and therefore, I expressed my dissatisfaction with this procedure at Svava Hotel. In response, I got no regret, no excuse, but just the instruction that I had consented to this practice when reserving the room. Into the bargain, I was given the teaching "you must read the terms and conditions before booking". After this experience, I am asking myself several questions: • Why wasn't I informed when the room became available, particularly since I had been asking for it so many times during such a long waiting period? (It is not credible that the room became ready to move into at 15:30pm sharp.) • Why doesn't hotel management establish priority cleaning for guests arriving early, so they can check into their rooms before official check-in time? (Checkout is before 12:00pm, so there is plenty of time for cleaning and flexible check-in.) • Why aren't guests offered flexible method of payment as is common practice elsewhere? • Shouldn't hotel personnel be trained to not always and without being asked instruct guests about their rights they are NOT given at the Svava Hotel? All in all, good hotel, but there is still plenty of room for further improvements!
