Best Western Hotel Svava

Well, I have spent the last nine days at this hotel, and there is a lot of info to provide you. We originally booked a small queen room, but were upgraded to a Superior room upon check-in. Very nice, friendly and helpful staff working the front desk. You should know that the rooms are small. The Superior room was bigger than the small queen, but it was only about 225 sq.ft. The bathroom was approx. 4x6, so it’s a tight squeeze in the shower. There are only two spots to park out front and they are taken most of the time. But the parking garage is underground; go past the front of hotel and turn right on first side street, then turn down at first ramp underground. Park down there and ring the door for the front desk to let you in. The door says Svava on it. Pay for parking at front desk and put tag in car. Cheaper that way. There are four floors in the hotel. The bar is not really a bar. They have two barstools and a limited selection of beer, wine spirits and microwave food. The breakfast is fantastic! Everything you would want; eggs, sausage, bacon, fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, breads, cereal, yogurt, coffee, juice, pastry! This is truly the best part of the stay. The maids were efficient everyday, and there is a sauna here, but you need a key to get in. No pool, hot tub, or other amenities. 15 channels on tv with most showing English speaking shows from the 90’s. All in all, a pleasant stay, but pretty bare bones other than the breakfast! less

Chose this hotel because of it's central location in the city centre and within walking distance of the University, it also offers secure parking in an adjacent and separately managed parking lot. The reception staff could not have been more helpful and whilst the rooms were on the small side, they were perfectly adequate for a short stay - the units are built around a small shopping mall and views from the windows are slightly unusual in that guests are looking over various shopping units including the shopping aisle of a small surpermarket. Breakfast was included in the room rate and was of very good standard on a self service basis. Recommended for 2/4 day stays. less

If you stay here be sure to ask for the rewards on your Best Western account. We booked through third party and manager first said no, but then they gave us credit when I checked in. The location is like a 3-4 minute walk from train station. The breakfast was good and the selection was fresh and plenty. They do have an ice machine which is great for Americans! Just ask at the front desk. less

Close to the railway station and bus station, so excellent for access and travelling around. Also close to main tourist attractions. The room was comfortable, although there was an absence of shelves or drawers to put things when you unpacked and only limited hanging space, this was surprising as there was plenty of space in the room to rectify this (we had a deluxe room). The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with a very wide choice of fruit, yoghurt, col meat, cheese etc, everything you would expect, also delicious scrambled egg. less

The hotel is near to the Central station and near to the castle, the cathedral, parks, shops, beautiful bridges, restaurants and conference center.Good if you do a short visit to Uppsala for work and at the same time would like to enjoy the city. less
