A real gem for a very affortable price. Buffet lunch and dinner also available. - again a bargain. Very spacious and clean rooms and comfy beds. Little electric fireplace in the room was an interesting extra. Maybe nice in wintertime. The hotel serves also people needing accommodation for hospital visits next door.

Nice surprise - great value for your money

Was greeted by a friendly porter late at night, after a long drive. The room was large, clean, and the beds were comfortable. Fantastic breakfast the next day, and it was all included! We would love to come back. 

Good choice

Great location near the University and airport, only 20 minute walk to Umeå centre. Room was spacious with comfortable beds. Bathroom was basic with shower and spotlessly clean. Good selection at breakfast buffet, dinner is also buffet style and though there are limited options I always found what was on offer to be tasty and great value at approx €18.70 for two. Overall a very enjoyable stay in the beautiful city of Umeå.

Good value hotel

We stayed here on our way down to Stockholm and booked this at very short notice.

We found the reception staff very welcoming and helpful.

Our room was very good, and comfortable, being very clean.

The Breakfast had a good choice of items.

Overall, a really nice place to stay.

Great Hotel

I stayed here for two nights in september of 2021. My single room was simple with a nice bathroom, comfy bed, a 3-seat couch, two arm chairs and a little desk. Acutally a little more than I was expecting.

The food was good to very good and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Because of corona restrictions I never got the chance to try their relax.

Note that Booking.com says they only have WiFi in common aereas. This is in-correct. Every room has WiFi and I found the connection to be good.

Simple but comfortable living

Hotell Bjorken is an interesting place. I was visiting Umea University for a conference and the location of the hotel provided easy walking access to the conference. So convenient in principle... albeit there isn't much nearby in terms of restaurants, cafes, bars etc which tend to be down town. As mentioned by other reviewers, it also accommodates patients visiting the near by hospital. I was happy with the accommodation overall, and the breakfast was hearty and included in the room charge. But there are some idiosyncrasies that may affect your decision. The first is that it has a very institutional feel. Meals are served in a kind of canteen type setting where you move your tray along a bench and return it to a conveyor belt when you're finished. Also, the reception staff are very helpful and thoughtful, but also rather slow, so you may find yourself queuing for longer than usual for check in. The room was neat and tidy but a little Spartan. My room had no tea or coffee making facilities and also no iron or ironing board. To iron my shirt I had to book the guest laundry, collect the iron and a key, find the guest laundry, and then return the key and iron to reception. That was more than I had anticipated however at least I found some interesting additional facilities, like additional guest lounge rooms and kitchenettes that visitors can make use of. Some of the corridors are a bit of a rabbit warren and you may need to lift your suitcase up or down a few steps depending on which wing you are in. Plus some of the signage is confusing e.g. 'Guest stove not to be used for cooking due to fire hazard' (so why provide one at all then?) Overall it was a clean, safe and convenient place to stay if you have business on campus... but the downtown area has more services and it isn't that far away. I would try staying down town next time I visit Umea.

Well located for visiting the university and hospital

Quiet location, good food. Great value for the money. We had a spacious room, but the beds were not the best possible for three, but ok for one night stay. Good and spacious parking lot, not secured though.

Quiet and nice

Big hotel used by people staying at the hospital next door. 

Car park beside - you have to pay. 

Approx 2km walk into town for food and drink. 

The hotel is a bit sterile and wouldn't have a great at atmosphere. 

It's clean and ok. 

One night stay

If you wanted something more decent or more romantic, forget about that. The hotel is absolutely basic. I was disappointed when seeing the room. But anyway it is close to the university and the hospital so from this point of view is convenient but definitely not worth the money. 

Just a hotel for sleeping 

really disappointed to see the room. internet quality was too bad. quite expensive but not worth the money that it costs. only good thing is that it is near hospital otherwise can get better room in lesser price in umeå. i will not recommend it to anyone...
