I would like to recommend this place to anyone who want to experience something more than just another ordinary hotel! You will find a really cool attraction as well as a great nights sleep in one of the former prison cells. The room was clean and quiet. The hotel is beautifully restored and has an amazing vibe! Breakfast was average, but extra pluss though for friendly and helpful staff in the kitchen. There is also a nice little museum which contributes to the experience.

Staff was very kind and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was amazing. The room was a little small, but the price wasn't outrageous. The location was close to downtown shopping and public transportation. Reduced-price parking was nice, but spots were taken pretty quickly, depending on the time of day. Overall, I will recommend it to others.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They do not have a breakfast buffet, but you can buy meat & cheese sandwiches or yogurt & granola cups or other items. The most challenging thing for us was figuring out how to get to the parking lot behind the hotel. There are a lot of one way streets, so we got confused but finally figured it out.

This was a great hotel for our stay in Umea. Great breakfast buffet, very helpful staff, roomy room, sauna and workout room available, great central location to use as base for exploring area.

Clean, comfortable, great for families with Big Kids Too! My only complaint is the continuous, noisy fan in the bathroom. We kept the door shut to cut down on the noise. It wasn't until our last day that we discovered how to turn the fan off. The switch was in a cupboard in the kitchen. A switch in the bathroom would have been helpful. Overall, we had a great experience.
