I had an incredible experience at Hotel Botanika! Very nice hotel with friendly staff, great breakfast, and I appreciated the sense of humor written on random signs in the hotel. Love the theme!

Great Location!

Great breakfast and dining!

Great breakfast, rooms were clean and spacious.

Very friendly and helpful service. Great location!

Brilliant stay at Hotel Botanica. Good location, excellent breakfast, really great service. All in all, highly recommended.

helt ok

The free breakfast was amazing. Ate between 9:15 and 10:00 am and didnt need to spend a cent on food until dinner. Very nice staff. Near a lot of restaurabts and bus stops.

Lovely staff, nice room, very convenient place to stay

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.

I like the way they present breakfast I love it but I need to see more halal food for the future cos we was to family there and I’ve seen more people to so if they can serve halal food to and I like all the staff and very polite and respectful and thanx for given me My son phone 📱 I’ve forgot in room after a check out they found my phone and they call me next day and thanx for everything see you next time thanx again …

Lovely area overlooking Linnaeus garden

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!

Walkable

The vibrant atmosphere at this hotel was like a hostel for adults. We enjoyed the games area, the bar and the fun vibe.

I slept like a baby in the room. The bed is surprisingly comfortable and it actually doesn’t bother me that the pillows are smaller than other hotel pillows. The only minus is the bathtub since water was all over the floor after a quick shower. This was because the well in the floor was plugged from before and so the water was coming up instead of going down… I had to catch an early train and was able to take breakfast with me, which was really nice. Will probably stay there again when I visit Uppsala. Thank you!

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.

This to me is a hostel ( I was not aware of this prior to booking). For being a hostel, it is surprisingly clean, bed is more comfortable than it looks, pillows are super comfortable even though they look like couch pillows. The breakfast is surprisingly nice-not like the hotels in Uppsala but actually decent. I love that it’s the only accommodation in Uppsala where my morning coffee is burning hot instead of lukewarm! The staff is very friendly. Minus for the creaky floorboards in my room, I had no desk in the room (227) and when I am staying in Uppsala it’s for work so it’s one of those things I just expect to have. No phone, no water. You can hear everything outside your door. Nowhere to hang anything (no hooks). Very limited food options at the hostel restaurant.

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.

Clean, easy, nothing fancy. Good location. Regular 3 star hotel.

Helpful staff. No hair drier.

Botanika is likely the best value for your money you'll find in Uppsala. Clean, nice staff, fairly decent bar/restaurant, quite good breakfast, and wakable distance to main attractions,

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!

Not recommending.

Lets start with the positive: Extremely friendly and helpful staff and a very cozy bar. Overall we were happy with our stay - but there were a few flaws. Pillows are very small (half size of a normal pillow) - but no problem to get another one from reception. Ordered cleaning that never came - but got new towels from reception. Rooms are a bit tired and small and have no air conditioning - but beds are comfortable. Bathroom tiny and hardly room for an adult in the shower. When you shower the entire bathroom is soaked in water and you have a shower curtain sticking to your body the entire time. Not very nice. Breakfast very basic. Okay first day - but the second day the bread was so dry it must have been from the day before. Not good. Great and friendly vibe at the hotel bar (except for the horrible live band that played the first night). Amazing bar staff. But the hotel lacks some of the basics you can expect. If you don’t set your expectations too high and prioritize the vibe and friendly staff then the place is nice. If you prefer larger rooms with good amenities or a good hotel breakfast look elsewhere.

Good hotel with friendly staff

Great amazing breakfast. No frills rooms but good for the price. Very nice service.

Underbart

A great place to stay! Cosy with nice bar and games rooms.

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.
