Karlaby Holidays from £227

I would like to rate this hotel a 3.5 but I can't. It is not the building in the pictures at all, that is a residence of some sort. The hotel is an old yellow building past that fancy building. The building greets you with ratty old carpet throughout and a very old elevator. The room was like a nunnery we stayed at in Italy once, sparse, with not a thing on the walls. The furniture is old and banged up. I thought it was an old dorm converted, only to learn that it had a heyday and has been around for years. The shower was weak and low pressure. The staff are rarely at the front desk. Breakfast was very minimal, probably because there didn't seem to be a lot of people staying at the hotel. To be fair, Lund itself seems to need an overhaul compared to other parts of Sweden. A plus, the pillows were lovely, the bed ok, and the staff very nice of you saw them. There's a heat rack in the bathroom and thank goodness because it's towel per guest which I always find so sillly. This place isn't cheaper than others in the area and doesn't deserve the 3 star rating at all. Really, it was fine but gives hostel vibes.

Centrally located, clean room. Wifi is a bit slow at times, but good overall.
