I stayed here for 5 days on buisness. Vasteras itself is a nice little town, and the First Plaza Hotel dominates the skyline and looks very impressive. However once you get there you realise the big tower is not the hotel, it's office buildings. The hotel is on the lower part. The hotel itself is old, dirty, tired and in... More

The nonsense started at checkin. The computer was down, so they had no record of our bookings. Eventually we were "manually checked in" and directed to our rooms. My colleague got off lightly - his room key didn't work. In my case, the key worked and I entered the room to find another, rather startled occupant. Back at reception, we... More

I used to stay in this hotel when it was a Radisson SAS hotel ten years ago. Since then it has been taken over by First Hotels. I don't think that they have decorated the hotel, or changed the carpets since then - so think of ten years' wear and tear. Plus points - Not very expensive. room cleaning is... More

We stayed here for four nights and wished we could have switched to another hotel. The whole hotel felt very rundown and it smelled funny. I know that they were renovating it as we stayed there, but until all rooms are down there could be a bunch of disappointed guests. The ups are breakfast and location. The downs are many... More

This was just a one nighter but possibly one of my best hotel experiences. Everything was great - check-in the fastest I have ever experienced, very friendly staff, room very clean, very comfortable and completely silent even though only 3 floors up from a reasonably busy road. Shower was definitely the best I have ever had.....call me sad but so... More

I would never recommend this hotel as we (a group of 15 Travel Agents) experienced the worst cleanyness and old stile furnitures. In my room the bathroom floor and bathtub was full of hairs and the shower gel of the former guest was still there. The sweets they offerd as a welcoming gift in a little pot had 2 grubs....... More

Location in center of town, five minute walk to train station. Sweet city. Staff friendly, efficient and helpful. Morning breakfast buffet good. Hot hot hot sauna on top floor... Beautiful views! Easy to find as its the tallest building in the city! Attaches to small mall. Only downside is how early everything closes in town!

The hotel is in the centre of town, it gives easy access to the various shopping areas around and (because it is a small town), is in walking distance of most places. The staff at reception were very friendly and went out of their way to assist me when I made any requests. The restaurant on the top floor of... More
