The First Hotel Planetstaden is located a little on the outskirts of the university city of Lund in Sweden. It's about a 10 to 15-minute walk from the downtown area.
As our room was not ready when we arrived from Copenhagen Kastrup airport, we ended up walking around the downtown area for 1,5 hours in an obvious daze caused by jetlag. We looked at the fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers at the market stalls, ate a sandwich from mormor's bageri and perused through the goodies at the local supermarket Coop Consum. When we finally managed to check in, I found myself looking at a clean, minimalistic hotel room, with a decent bathroom. Coming from the US, this is not a 4-star hotel, but it's fine for just a few nights. There is a small gym, sauna and jacuzzi on the second floor which is open
until 11:30pm. The best part about this hotel was the breakfast buffet. The variety
was enormous and the quality of the food very good. The minus of this hotel was the hotel staff. For some odd reason they left several messages as I apparently had never checked into the hotel...even though I was there and had given my credit card and obtained a room key. This led to my room key not working anymore, but my hotel room door being unlocked for god knows how long on the second day. The check-out process was also a little bit of a mess. Overall, a clean, practical hotel, but I'd say stay in the downtown area next time you visit Lund.
