Elite Stadshotellet Västerås

.

..........................

Fantastic hotel and staff are incredible. Special call-out to Anders who managed to swap us over to a room with improved WiFi (which was excellent basically throughout the hotel but we had a bit on an issue with one of our devices) -- but sorted with swapping to a room straight outside a WiFi router. The pub belonging to the hotel is decidedly the cosiest in the city, and with a proper ole English feel - as someone living in London, it's a big plus it doesn't smell of fermented beer on the carpeted floor! Pub food was surprisingly good, and amount of drinks - especially beers and whiskey for a reasonable price - is outstanding. Gym was great and empty each time we were there. Sauna superb and accessible free against being booked. Possibly top 5 hotel beds ever slept in - incredibly nice. Exceptionally quiet (in both rooms - reception confirmed super thick walls) and couldn't hear much of anything from outside or neighboring rooms. Breakfast buffet massive and delicious...they even have homemade Swedish meatballs and pickled herring {NB! not the fermented Surströmming, thank god!} Very clean all over, as expected with Swedish standards - but this place exceeds the average. Borrowed their bikes (for free with helmet, can you believe it!) which was very pleasant considering one of the best cities in Sweden if not the world, to explore by bike. Highlight staff were throughout just absolutely 10/10! We'll definitely come back and can't recommend it enough!

bra!

Room was tidy and well equipped, friendly staff, tasty and plentiful breakfast.
