Good service, fair price
Nice place for the price. The shower gets most of the bathroom wet but that is semi by design so it will drain. Otherwise they have everything you need and I’d recommend to friends.

Gem of a Hotel in Uppsala
Hotel Botanika is a great place to stay when in Uppsala. The staff is quite friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is amazing, with lots of great choices. Being a budget hotel, the rooms are utilitarian, but had a certain chic about them. We would definitely stay there again!

Overall, Satisfying.
There are many great things about Botanika Uppsala. Excellent location, helpful staff, affordability, and free breakfast, to name a few. The downsides were the rooms themselves. Pretty threadbare (we were in a deluxe double which had a seating area with a couch,TV, and coffee table. No desk, chair(s), nightstands, or surface area in the bathroom to keep/store anything. The closets and floors were kinda dusty. The WiFi took some time to actually work but worked well after a few hours. A bit more care for travelers (e.g., extra pillows, at least one luggage rack, and nightstand/bathroom shelf would have made this a much better stay. Overall, fairly satisfied.

Basic room but nicely decorated. I would have liked tea & coffee facilities and a hair dryer (although not a problem to borrow one from reception). The room was not regularly cleaned. I asked for this to be done but the room was only cleaned once during the 6 nights stay. Great breakfast including some Swedish specialities. Strong and full flavoured coffee, just like the Swedes prefer it. Bed was initially too hard for my liking but with an added top mattress, I slept like a baby! Great location, everything I needed was nearby.

Lovely little hotel
What an amazing hotel! The staff go over the top to make your stay comfortable. It’s a quaint hotel that’s an older building so be prepared there’s no AC. We had a heat wave during our stay but there’s a store that sells fans right around the corner. Just make sure you leave your windows really open during the day to let the room cool down at night. The breakfast was really good with many options. I really can’t say enough good things about the staff. I was scammed by a taxi driver (btw, they should give you a firm price, not tell you it’s metered when coming from the airport) and the airport staff went to work trying to help me get my money back. Close to public transport and tourist places. Easy to get around. Comfortable bed and room and tons of plants!

Such a disappointing stay
We paid for a family room for two adults and a child, but received a room with 3 bunk beds. This was a hostel room, much to our surprise. No frills, no comfort, unfortunately. While making our own beds we discovered crumbs under two of the three mattresses, and later we discovered a previous tenant’s sock wedged between another mattress and its frame. Frequent gurgles from the bathroom drain from usage in other rooms, and loud bass pounding from lounge or neighbouring bar past midnight contributed to an unpleasant stay. Breakfast was adequate but pancakes would have been nice, considering the amount of kids there were in the restaurant. There was a waffle maker but the queue was long. A second waffle maker or the addition of pancakes might make the food area less congested. Staff was friendly and location was great, but not enough to make us a want to book a future visit.

Relaxing and friendly place to stay at.
Personal was very helpful and nice. Room was clean. Me and my girlfriend like the bed so much that she wanted to steal it. Can be a bit to hard for some people. Parking on the street just across from the hotel. Very close to the city center and very easy to drive to. Breakfast buffé in the morning was great and much to choose from. Very relaxing atmosphere. Every time I will see some relatives, this will be the place to stay at.
