First Hotel Planetstaden

I’ve stayed at this hotel a couple of times when I belonged to the Clarion brand. In 2019, First hotel has taken over it and it’s still haven’t reach the level of Clarion. Reception guy was very nice, rooms were clean although we found two spiders in our bed !!. The breakfast is mediocre as common in Swedish hotels, with no signs of gluten free bread, bacon was almost black and the scrambled eggs made of powdered eggs. We didn’t try the spa or the gym. We booked late with booking.com and got a good price.

Edit: breakfast has gone hill too. It's okay.nnAs a break from driving back to Europe, Lund is a good option. I have stayed here before, since this is my go to stop for when I'm driving higher into Sweden. So my 3 star review is purely because of the new management. The prices are still similar, but you get way less.nn- no more dinner included around 150 sekn- no more spa included around 140 sekn- no more parking included around 175 seknnSo that's a difference of around 40 euros, if you'd like the same services as before.nnThe whole reason of coming to this place and paying a bit more for the room was because of all these perks.nnImagine, you drive +10h to get to Sweden, you are tired and finally arrive. You then could park your car safely, go straight to diner, relax your body at the Spa and then sleep. It was perfect and the sole reason why I came here everytime.nnI expected the same this time, so I didnt read up on the new policies. I made my booking as usual and arrived on assumption. This is ofcourse my mistake.nnNevertheless, I'm not coming back because the bang for my buck is gone. Call me a cheap skate, but there's better options around now for this price.nnHotel staff was lovely as always and the rooms are what you get. It's either the older wing of 20x rooms or the newer wing. But that's ok. It's all you need.

The worst hotel I have ever seen in my life. You have to pay attention when booking here. Everything you have to pay, even the games, even the pool. You have to pay. There is nothing with your reservation. They are scammers. Even the pictures do not match. Even one star is not worthy.

You get what you pay for, and it is cheap. Late check-in, received with an annoyed and indifferent attitude. My roomnwas small and cramped, but with a small desktop and fridge. Probably value for you money if you are on fast in’n’out and not too tall.nWell-equipped gym.

Found it too expensive for what you get. All the pictures they post are from the new aisle, the difference wasn’t clear upon booking. Upgrading was offered upon arrival, but 1 it’s difficult to choose without seeing the sad old room you get otherwise , 2 too much of a difference, 3 why not use the nicer refurbished rooms by default when the place isn’t fully booked, especially when I booked several months ahead…nThe punishment for opting for the cheap room was a leaky shower in the dark behind a blood-stained curtain.nThe spa/pool is advertised as being included but actually isn’t.nStayed at two other places on this holiday and both had options to recycle trash unfortunately a by-product of traveling but not this one.nExtra star because the breakfast was really nice
