Hotell Botanika

Very basic rooms with minimal amenities but good for a stay in Uppsala. The breakfast is extensive and there are always friendly hotel staff at reception. In the mornings, I could smell some cooking odours but that might just be my particular room. Wish there were things like tea and coffee, and a hairdryer in all rooms but these are minor in the grand scheme of things.

The breakfast was amazing.nnThe room was small but nicely decorated. I liked that the beds were a little higher. You can stream at the television which was also nice. The showers get nice and hot.nnWhat wasn't great was that the curtains didn't close off properly.nAnd I missed a bit of personal touch. The only thing the person at reception told me was; this is your room. Check out is at 11. Which I guess is all the information I needed, but it would be nice to feel invited to the bar or to ask questions.

Hardest beds ever, horrificly uncomfortable.nYou can see that its an old house and much of the stuff is outdated but at least its not dirty.nExpensive to enjoy the games area.nIt feels more like a hostel but to the price of a 4+ star hotel.nThere are a lot of better options in Uppsala.

Had bad luck with our room this time.. a frequently used smoking area right below our 2nd story window so our room fills with cigarette odor. No AC on the room means we have to have the window open to ventilate.nnAlso there’s a smell from the kitchen coming into the room somewhere, as of this writting the room smells of scrambled egg and cooking grease…nnA shame for a otherwise decent hotel.

Nice hotel, would recommend. Room was clean. Breakfast was nice. It is a great location as it is very close to the centre of Uppsala. On street parking was available directly outside, but it can be tricky to find a spot - we had to circle around the block a couple of times.
