Selmas hytt & salong

The name of the hostel boat meaning Selma’s cabin & salon, a unique accommodation and cafe. Experience the maritime atmosphere by the river of Uppsala. The boat Selma is newly renovated in public areas. Free wifi in all areas, pet-friendly and low rates. We are situated in a calm area by the river, about 600 m south of the City center of Uppsala. Within walking distance to a variety of attractions, institutions and the travel center. Right across the river, we have among other things the city park, a sport arena and the University hospital Akademiska sjukhuset. The cabins are spacious and have large opening windows overlooking the river Fyrisan and City Park or wooden pier and river promenade. The cabins contains sofa, desk and spacious wardrobe. All double cabins have bunk bed with two 90 cm wide beds. In the singel cabins the only bed is 90 cm wide. Bed linen and towels included. Toilet and shower in the corridor. Cleaning every other day. Toiletries are available at a lower cost in the reception.

A great place to stay in the middle of Uppsala

Selmas Hytt och Salong is in a great location moored on the river very close to the centre of Uppsala. I had a single room looking over the river with a comfortable bed, a desk and chair and sufficient hanging and storage shelves. There is a cosy sitting area which is a great place to watch the sunset over the river in the evenings. A microwave, kettle and fridge are available for guests, which I found very helpful due to the high cost of eating out in Sweden. Teabags and coffee are also provided. The toilet and shower facilities are fairly basic but everywhere is spotlessly clean and the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. I bought breakfasts which were fairly small but not expensive. The food is plated up for each guest so if there is something you do not like or cannot eat you need to tell them the evening before. I would definitely recommend Selma. The boat has great character and I found it far more interesting than staying in a hostel on land.

Friendly staff who went beyond expectation

Reviewed By Sara S

Very nice hotel, good location, clean room and a big plus to have Youtube on TV (I travel with a toddler). Staff offered to arrange transportation a few days before arrival through an SMS, which was unexpected and very nice. Even though the distance from train station (I was coming from Stockholm) to the hotel is not far (walking distance) but I was traveling with my 2yo, with a stroller and a suitcase, so having the offer to make my travel easy is a very big plus. Front desk staff who worked on the day of arrival was really nice and helpful with the taxi arrangement. The room was really nice, I love the nice deep bath tub, feels luxurious, and of course the Ritual selection as bathroom amenities. I also got a personalized greeting displayed on the TV in the room. Location is perfect, you're very close to everything (restaurants, stores, grocery store). We booked a time for breakfast kind of late (10:30am) because I did not know we should've booked it from the night before to get a good time. When we arrived at the restaurant, it's actually closing time. Must have been a glitch on the booking, because I had a confirmation email that said my booked time was 10:30. The restaurant staff was very nice about it, they kept the buffet open until we're done and did not rush us. Highly recommended.

Amazing service!

Reviewed By V9740NCmauram

I visited Uppsala on my last day of a long weekend trip to Stockholm. Unfortunately when I tried to get back to Stockholm airport, it was not possible by train. A suspicious package had resulted in the police closing the station and evacuating everyone to safety. They did a great job but there was no time line and EVERYONE was trying to get a taxi. I walked to the Grand Hotel Hornum, where Isabel kindly called a cab for me, asked if I wanted coffee or something else while I waited and kept me updated on the whereabouts of my taxi. And I wasn't even a guest at the hotel! What amazing service and downright kindness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

No room cleaning or bed tucking

Reviewed By williamsA8814DF

Cleaning and making the room, bed, etc. look nice during the day you are away is no longer a supported service. Apparently this service to make the bed and empty some trash or whatever ruins the environment, which sounds a lot like bull crap to me. They are not saving the environment, they are just saving their own wallet. The rugs in most of the rooms have nasty stains, some bathrooms smells of mold.

Surprised

Reviewed By JayneSamantha

I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely this boutique hotel is for the price I paid for 9 nights for a room with a kitchen. The staff are super helpful and accommodating and I cannot praise them enough. The breakfast was more than expected after reading some of the reviews. I loved having my breakfast in the court yard. The bar is great and has television screens and on some nights live music. My daughter had her graduation party at the hotel and the food was fabulous. I would definitely return to this hotel especially for the value for money.

It had everything we needed and more

Reviewed By JonDoe04134

Large room with both bathtub and shower, dinner buffet included, sauna with generous opening hours, good breakfast, great location next to the central station, friendly and helpful staff. The bathroom could use some refreshing and the view consisted of an office building across the street. Still, with so much included for the low price we had an amazing stay.
