U&Me, BW Signature Collection

Modernes Hotel mit einem super Ausblick, leckeres Frühstück und mitten im Centrum. Leider kaum Personal zu sehen, weder beim Check in noch beim Service.

Super Aufenthalt, moderne Ausstattung ideal für Jung & Alt.

Pros: - Excellent location, it's right downtown where most restaurants and shopping is. - Stunning views since rooms are pretty high up compared to the general skyline of the city, with a large window. Also, the bed faces the window which is a neat touch. - Very nice little gym. - Room is small but well-equipped. - Good wifi connection. Cons: - The only parking available nearby was either very expensive and/or did not allow overnight parking. There was a nice cheap spot for parking on a per-day basis on the other side of the river which wasn't very far away (maybe 10 minutes walk) though. - Postage stamp bathroom with an insufficient divider between the shower and the toilet, meaning every time you shower the whole bathroom floor will be wet. Excellent shower though! - While it looked like a queen size bed, it was actually two beds very close together on separate mattresses.

U&Me Hotel is in a good location in downtown Umea within easy walking distance to the train station and to the town's best bars and restaurants. The rooms are modern and well-decorated with dark shades to blot out the midnight sun during the long summer days. The WiFi is excellent, the TV has numerous English channels and the breakfast is good. There are a couple of negatives, however. First, at least in my room, the daily cleaning consisted solely of emptying the trash; nothing else was cleaned or replaced. Second, the entrance at night to the hotel is through another hotel's lobby and its restaurant. I'm assuming that the two hotels may be part of the same company, but it's still very confusing and no sign is posted explaining that guests of the U&Me must enter after a certain hour through the other hotel's lobby. Overall, a nice hotel but the U&Me has room for improvement. I'd give it an 8.3/10.

Had to call to check in as I didn't receive a code but someone answered right away and I was checked in very quickly. I really like the concept and the hotel was extremely clean, modern and conveniently located to the city center. I had an amazing view of the river from my room. Staff were available if you needed them, so no need to be scared off by the unmanned check-in. Breakfast was more simple than some hotels but very good. There are some on-street parking spots that are free between 6PM and 9AM near the hotel.
