A must stay if you're an aviation geek like me…read more As a child, 747s had just come on the scene and took the public imagination instantly with its gargantuan size and instantly recognizable hump. I spent decades revering this icon of global travel to exotic destinations. Rode it for many years when in college and as a young adult. And now I get to come up close to one just as this queen of the skies is getting retired from most flagship airlines in favor of 2 engined planes. Very clever use of space with strong homage to key areas of the aircraft. I originally booked an engine nacelle room. But am grateful the receptionist offered to place me in the main cabin for several reasons--proximity to toilet-showers, noise insulation (from aircraft taxiing nearby), and the alarming wobble each time someone walks the wing overhead! Breakfast begins at 3am. An easy terminal shuttle bus (P3 Alfa) runs 4 times an hour for much of the day and night. No shoes inside the hostel--bring flip flops to use around and un bathrooms.

Good value and certainly an unusual experience for a stay near the airport. I don't see it as…read moregimmicky as some other reviews, since it is a fitting use and very well done. Getting to and from any terminal at the airport is quick with the free shuttle. I definitely would only stay before an early flight or after a late arrival: no reason to stay this far out more than one night. It is important to expect a hostel experience, such as shared showers. I stayed in one of the engines. Other than the constant hum of the nearby airport, it was quiet and comfortable. The employees were very friendly. Breakfast was a simple continental spread, starting at 3am to accommodate even the craziest flights. I thought it was a bit odd that the snow hadn't been cleared at all for me to get from the main area to my engine...luckily it was less than 2 inches, I hope they'd clear it if there was more...

This place is interesting. My room was long and very narrow, but saved from feeling coffin-like by…read morethe high ceiling and bright window, giving me a view of the street and courtyard. The photos online were a bit deceptive, but the room was very clean and the bathroom super modern. When I checked in there was no one at reception, but the intercom rings the sister hostel/hotel, Hotel Centralstation, and they walk you through the process over the 'com. Breakfast is included, so the price was quite a bargain by Sweden's high priced standards. I may not like the room if I were staying for a week, but for a night it was just fine, and close to my favorite bar in Uppsala, O'Neill's. p.s. Pillows are cheap, it really chaps my hide when they only give you one! p.p.s. Staff give you the option of eating breakfast here or at the sister hotel. GO to the other. The breakfast is extraordinary! Huge assortment including fresh Belgian waffles that you make yourself.

(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!

I arrived early in the morning and they accommodated me by letting me check in early. I asked for a…read morequiet room and they delivered. I really appreciate the service. The room is small but functional. Beds are soft and comfy. Free wi-fi. It's a bare bones room but I won't be here for long so it's fine. Central location is walking distance to restaurants, bars, and stores.

Food in the bistro is about avrage but could be better and not much to choice from if you are a vegeterian or only eat chicken and fish. Breakfast is just above average and it dos the job for most people but the downside is they cut up so much fruits and after the pandemic and especially in Sweden it feels unhygienic and unsafe to eat. But in all breakfast is good. The rooms are ok nothing special but good and the cleaning staff is super friendly and helpful. The gym is good and has all you need to keep in shape, but the sauna and the showers need a makeover and more regular cleaning During my 3 nights the showers was not clean even if i told them after the first night that the show was full of hair and you could see the hair was from more intimate parts. So if the clean they showers, put up some hooks for towels, fix the bucket in the sauna like buying a new one, put a thermometer in the sauna and maybe add some hocks or shelving, a hairdryer the sauna would be a great pleace visit again. The best thing would be a phone with a direct line to reception so you could order drinks like water, coffee and fruit and so one without having to leave the sauna area as it is on a sperat floor in the building from the reception.

Scandinavian Breakfast was included, as a buffet in a bright, sunny room. Lots and lots of fresh food, our younger selves would have been overjoyed....it was perfect. My last travel in Europe years ago did not include a private bathroom and shower, so I was surprised and happy to have this at the Charlotte. The room was not huge by American standards but clean and comfortable with everything we needed, for a middle aged American couple with no recent European travel in years. There is free wi-fi which I will think of now always as "vee-fee". There is an Uppsalakort discount card available for reduced admissions at Uppsala hotels, museums, bus and train fare, and eateries but if you're gonna get, get it BEFORE if you can, there is a substantial discount applicable to your stay even at the Hotel Charlotte. We missed this because you must show the card at check-in. We loved Uppsala, too many things to do and see for our two day stay, with the castle, the medieval cathedral still very actively used, and the amazing museums and libraries all within easy walking for anyone moderately fit. We did not need or want a car. Had it rained, which it did not, public transport possibilities were readily available and cheap.
