Södra Mellby Vacations from ￥545,405

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.

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.

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

Lovely spacious reception, great breakfast, friendly staff. Only permitted to use the pool once during stay and had to book- pool was quite small but has a sauna too and only 3 of us in the pool at the time so was fine. Dinner menu a bit limited for vegetarians

Didn't get timely instructions. Didnt know how to access garage. Hotel does not resemble the picture on Expedia! It's been downsized and the entire surrounding area is changed - which made finding it in the rain at night quite tricky. Once you're in the hotel, it's lovely and well appointed. The breakfast is wonderful. Nice fan in the room to support ventilation.
