19th-century charm just 5 minutes from the city center
Hotell Kungsängstorg
Take the opportunity to stay in the last remaining monument from the distinctive 19th-century buildings around Kungsängstorg. Hotell Kungsängstorg is a valuable part of the city’s history. Ebba Boström, the upper-class lady who founded the well-known Samaritan Hospital in Uppsala and sister to Sweden’s then-prime minister, Erik Gustaf Boström, lived and owned this magnificent house at the turn of the last century. After Ebba’s passing in 1902, the house served as a parsonage for an extended period and became known among the locals as the “pastor’s residence.” A reasonably priced and comfortable accommodation in newly renovated rooms with 19th-century charm.
