Solbacken-Hälsobacken Holidays from £133

The property was clean and conveniently located near the center of Lund. Breakfast was good.

Wonderful place to stay! The "room" was actually set up like a 2 bedroom apartment with lots of room for the three of us. The price included full dinner the night we arrived and a full breakfast the next morning. The food was delicious! What a bargain!

Everything about the hotel was great. However, our room was located facing a backyard, possibly the relatively close coop supermarket, which was apparently used to loudly unload merchandise every morning (except Sunday) starting around 6am and finishing only hours later. This made it impossible to sleep later than 6am at any point during our week's stay there. Aside from this, the hotel is well located.

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.

I had what I think is the the cheapest room on offer. It was downstairs but I still had a window that opened onto a courtyard. The staff were very friendly and let me borrow a bike as much as I liked. The room was clean and there was unlimited tea in the common area. One of the lights was broken, but there were more and the shower was great. For the price, I have to give it 5 stars.
