Lund Hostels

Parking can be paid at the hotel, but received two tickets anyway - solved by the hotel after we had left. Caused frustration and time to spend calling the parking company, talking with the reception etc. The sheets in one of our rooms did not seem to have been changed after last guest, as there were hair found between the sheets. Reception contacted and they made sure to get the sheets changed.

We enjoyed our stay – staff were friendly, place was clean, there were rooms for a family of five (seemingly an amazing find in and around Lund!) and the breakfast was amazing!! At least for anyone visiting in the near future though I would highly recommend earplugs (which we luckily remembered) as the windows desperately need changing – which they are in the process of doing. We stayed during a storm and the windows were so poor it was almost as windy inside as it was out! Our children had fun in the pool, but we were caught short on our first visit without having shower gel/ shampoo with us and 2 of them ended up very itchy for the rest of the day, simply from the extreme amounts of chlorine in the pool – of course it's better this way then them getting sick, but remember proper soap and moisturiser for afterwards – the soap canisters were nearly empty (or not working properly). The hotel is quite far out but bus connection was good and we never waited long for a bus. Would definitely consider going back!

The Aparthotel is very well located in the city center with restaurants, transport, and shops very nearby. Tourist attractions are also well within walking distance so the location of this Aparthotel is excellent. The reception area is nice however not once during our stay did we see a member of staff there. Things are mostly done online - you have a pin to enter your room/hotel building which was given via email/text however it was odd not to see anyone at the reception at all. We did see cleaners around but no other staff. The rooms are modest and tidy, you have a kitchenette - useful if you plan to do cooking/food preparation yourself. The room also has a desk which is nice as well as a small table and chairs for eating. Furthermore, there is an armchair and lounge table, a TV and also since we stayed in a family room, a sofa bed. This makes the room capable to be a nice lounge area during the day. In the family room, you have the sofa bed and also a double bed which both are extremely comfortable. The bedding however on the sofa bed was not done pre-hand which they said should've been done and there was one cover less than we needed. We phoned the customer service and they were very helpful; the situation was dealt with very well. The member of staff on the phone guided us to a storage cupboard where we were able to get an extra cover ourselves since no staff were on site and they apologized about the sofa bed which they confirmed should have been prepared. Note: The only toiletries provided are soap and toilet paper (which if you run out of - don't hesitate to ask for more) There are also supermarkets nearby if you're missing anything such as shower gel. The bathroom was as you'd expect and was overall fine. One thing that was very confusing was the Breakfast. We did not see any signs of breakfast being served at all and are unsure whether we needed to book in advance or something so don't totally rely on the breakfast within the Aparthotel. Furthermore, there is a coffee machine which is accessible whenever you need it and is a nice addition to the Aparthotel. However, it does seem to malfunction. Twice we ordered Frothed Milk and instead it gave us Hot Water... Other options like Cappuccino worked fine but others did not?... Overall though the Aparthotel is a good place to stay and I have no hesitation in recommending it because our stay was overall pleasant and very good.

Had a great room, very spacious with Kitchen and lovely bathroom. Their was an Air conditioning unit in the room which was a godsend with the 30 degree heat in Sweden. Our room was opposite the gym equipment (Treadmill, Bike, Elliptical trainer and weight machine) and Sauna area with ample showers, changing areas and towels etc. The only down side was the disappointing breakfast offered and stopped me from giving the accommodation full marks. The location was in a quiet area but was only 10 minute walk from Lund Centre. Had an enjoyable stay and would return.

The room is ok clean. There where some dead bugs in the corner but otherwise it looked ok. In the lobby, the plates and forks are not clean and you have to wipe it by yourself if you want to feel safe using them. There is almost no staff in the hotel and if you need help you’ll have to call a number, if they even answer you… The staff that are occasionally there are not the best but not the worst. There is no luggage room and the staff who said that he would carry my bag up to the room forgot to do so when I returned. Lastly, I liked the room and it was great for the price offered.

Very intimate, provided free luggage storage

We stayed at 3 days at Hotell Nordic Link which is situated in Lund's centre really close to Mårtenstorget and many other attractions are all within easy walking distance. What is a HUGE plus is that parking is available directly behind the hotel which has direct access (on the second floor) and an elevator. It cost 190 kr for 24 hours. Helpful and efficient staff. Our room had a little balcony, a mini kitchen with fridge and micro, it was clean, quiet and had very comfortable beds. The room had both blackout curtains and AC. The bathroom was a good size and had all the usual amenities. I think it needs a little shelf near the mirror for toilet bag, make-up etc. There is complementary Pod-coffee, tea and WiFi. However, there was no kitchen hand-towel/tea-towel. What we found problematic was the small breakfast area, there were queues and crowded in the narrow dining area. Considering we are in a Covid epidemic this really needs to be addressed. We tried eating breakfast after 9:10 to avoid queues but it made no difference. We ate outside but it was still very crowded getting the actual food. The cleaning staff were not wearing disposable gloves or using hand sanitizer often, I never saw any staff member do this. Why clean a room every day when there is a risk for infection? I have stayed at Nordic Lund before and I would stay here again, because I love the location but I would skip breakfast until this Covid epidemic is over.

We were really looking forward to celebrating a birthday lunch at this hotel. For us, coming all the way from South Africa, this is a rare treat. To say our experience was underwhelming would be an understatement. Service was poor to non-existent. After our waiter (Eddie) brought us our drinks (one variety of Sauvignon Blanc for SEK 115 which was about the cheapest, nastiest wine I’ve ever drunk) we never saw him again. We flagged down someone who looked like a waiter or host (thin woman with a blonde ponytail) who seemed quite annoyed when we requested a bread basket, some side plates to eat it on and drinking glasses for water. There were none on the table. She seemed most put out that she was being asked to do something. The famous prawn sandwich which costs a small fortune is passable, at best. Half a slice of white bread, some mayonnaise, three pieces of boiled egg, a generous helping of prawns and lettuce. That’s it. I would make a better one at home. It tasted fine and everything was fresh but those prices don’t begin to justify such shameless mediocrity. My daughter ordered the potato main with hazelnuts and capers. This very expensive dish comprised a single, overcooked, unappetisingly grey baby potato cut into tiny segments and covered in mayonnaise and butter. Luckily the bread was nice (though not warm) and that was her lunch. The soft serve dessert is just that, with a tiny swirl of caramel sauce. Nobody came back to enquire if we needed more drinks or if we were enjoying our food. Eddie needs training. The thin girl needs a personality and to be taught that it’s okay to smile and be polite to guests when they make a simple request. For a hotel of this calibre such poor service and meh food is unacceptable. They are riding on their reputation which will become harder to maintain unless they dramatically up their game. Disappointing experience.

The hotel is in a good location, not far from the train station and 3 minutes from the cathedral attractions. Downstairs is a well-known local bar, which is often full at night. The front desk was not on duty during the day, and the afternoon bar was opened for reception. There is a room card in and out of the hotel lobby, which is not accessible outside the guest. The room is quite spacious and the facilities are ok, simple and clean. There is a Chinese restaurant nearby, a fried dumpling shop.
