Hostels are often for young backpackers, but this downtown building in the center of Old Uppsala…read morewas opened in April, 2013 so everything is new and fresh. They have private rooms including singles and doubles, as well as larger rooms, so except for no private bathroom and shower they are very nice. And the bathrooms are single and the showers are single and just a couple of feet across the hall from your room, so this is not a group shower experience! There is an elevator, and a reception desk, and bedding and towels provided. Breakfast is $10 which is reasonable, but we walked to a Kondotori for coffee and pastries instead. The Castle is just above you, the beautiful brick cathedral is a block away, the shopping street is two blocks away. Nice restaurants along the river. Only parking is a problem, as from 8am to 6pm you have to pay even on the street. So it was free overnight but in the morning I had to start feeding the meter! But this is the nicest newest Hostel you will ever meet and even married people like us were very happy with the room and its price. Wi-Fi free. Uppsala is a wonderful Medieval town. The Gustavium museum across from the cathedral is worth the small admission price. Discounts for over 65 or under 18. All non-smoking, Hurray!

(This review is only about the breakfast buffet, as it is the only thing that I have experience of…read moreat this place. Just so you know!) The place is located in the centrum of Uppsala, just across the street from the Uppsala Central Station. Thus it will serve very well as accommodation if you come by train or by bus. Kind staff, a very nice atmosphere and a fresh interior. The breakfast buffet is included in the hotel price, but if you are a hostel guest (or if you just randomly drop in from the street as I did, in because I wanted to have a little bit of a morning luxury) you can buy the buffet for 79kr. I think it was totally worth every "krona". The buffet was very good; there were a large assortment of muesli and yoghurt, different types of bread, cheese, jam etc. Also boiled eggs and fresh fruits. And what was probably the best part: you could make your own Belgian-style waffles! And of course add some nutella, peanut butter, whipped cream etc. to it. Yum! Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and juice are included. In addition, they also offer gluten free breakfast. It's the swedish way - no discrimination. The atmosphere was cosy and calm. They also have a shelf full of books if you like to read while enjoying your "frukost". Very good breakfast buffet for a reasonable price at a good location!

We stayed at this hostel for one night in early April. This is a charming place as the 6 rooms are…read moreall located in the sleeper compartment of a train. Each room is being sponsored by a local company and furnished according to the company's area of expertise. The engine from the 1930s is also still there. Usually they don't open the hostel until May due to the temperatures in the sleeping and restaurant compartments where breakfast is being served. However, the very friendly and helpful host was nice enough to open up for us anyway and with a heater in our room it worked out fine. Breakfast is generous, both warm and cold and comes at a good price. Swedish husmanskost is the word!
