I have stayed at the Elite nearly every month for the last ten years. I tried all the hotels in and…read morearound town when I first started to work in Vasteras. The Elite is easily the best for a number of reasons. Location : Right in the town with everything wthin easy walking distance - there are maybe 10 bar \ restaurants within 5 mins walk. Comfort : All the rooms are comfortable and very clean ( my favorite is 107! ). LCD TV with some english language shows plus CNN etc. Bathrooms have all soaps shampoos etc which are replenished each day. Staff : Most important part of any customer facing business, the staff at the Elite are the best I ever met, nothing is a problem to any of them. From the initial greeting at reception you are made to feel at home. A good example is I had a accident a couple of years ago and used a stick for a year. You have to reserve a parking space when you book, the space they reserved for me was always by the entrance. I didnt ask for that and they didnt say anything it was just done. Thats something you will only get when the staff want to do their best because they care. Hotel Bar : As an english man this is very important ! - The Bishops Arms Pub is the best "hotel bar" I ever had a pint in !. It is the hotel bar but is nothing like any other. If you didnt know it was part of the hotel you would think you were in a English Pub. Its run by Joakim and his team and they are dedicated to Food \ Drink and customer service. There is never less than approx 20 draft beers to choose from, dozens of bottles of beer and hundreds of Whiskeys. Joakim has knowledge on all of them ( at least he seems to ! ) The menu is typical pub grub with a stab at english classics and a mix of typical Swedish dishes. Burgers are very popular in Sweden and most pubs have their own "special", the Bishops is the same. Try the Bacon Cheesburger, Im a big guy and I cant finish one ! All the food is good and I think you can order right upto 10pm. If you need a hotel or just a pub in Vasteras then you will be happy here Chris

Location is great and the property is nice on the inside except for the rooms. Run down furniture,…read moreworn out mattress with major butt decline. Stains on the carpet, ripped curtains with holes. I would only come back for the location. Not a 4 star experience, nowhere close.

Stunningly impressive attention to detail. The concept hotel is top class. The hallways were dark,…read moreperhaps a bit too dark. The rooms were very spacious and clean. I was impressed with the books at the hotel. Whilst decorative, the selection was quite qualitative. Surprised that the hotel did not offer swabs in the bathroom. The hotel lets you keep the comfortable green slippers but not the bathrobe. Surprised you get to keep the slippers at all. Very generous. The spa on the 7th floor was OK. It was more sexy and a venue for a date rather than a refuge for recreation. When going into the dark room with the indoor pool, I felt very uncomfortable because of the dim lighting and all couples snuggling in all corners of the pool. I jokingly said there was a sex dungeon vibe in there. The dry sauna was unisex and spacious. It was relaxing. I missed a steam sauna. The outdoor pool Was also nice but again, it was really a place to hang rather than a retreat. The food at the restaurant was 3,4 stars. The meat I had for main was rather dry and no meat knife was offered making it a bit of a hassle to eat without causing accidents. The breakfast was top class: 5 stars. Last time I had this great breakfast at a hotel, the price range was much higher. The staff was very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend this place for an overnight date.

You go here to have a bed, bath and a roof over your head. It is a budget option more appealing to…read morepoor people, workers etcetera. If you don't mind that it's certainly not the worst hotel. I've seen way worse, and much better. Hence, the 3/5. Staff at the front desk was very nice, both on the phone and in person. No complaints there. I was in a single room, half of which was taken up by the bed. Not a huge fan of soft mattresses, but I slept fine. Someone had updated the decor with peel and stick recently, which is really just another thing pointing out that this is the budget option. It was clean enough in the important areas, although the fake flowers in the bathroom had enough dust on them to look sad. Being nearsighted I didn't notice until I put my glasses on in the morning. Housekeeping might wanna add washing them off every blue moon to their routine. I skipped breakfast because I had an early morning train, but there is one included in your stay. As far as accessibility goes, there is an elevator. The room I was in was on the small and very narrow side, so check with staff before booking to make sure they can accommodate you. Tl;dr you get what you pay for.
