Check Inn

Most of Lund’s accommodation options are east of the train station in the lively downtown area.

Cross over to the other side of the tracks and you’ll find yourself in a quiet, mostly residential neighbourhood that’s home to some big detached villas.

Inside one of these – a pretty green-blue house with terracotta roof tiles – is the B&B called Check Inn. It’s a relaxed place to spend the night, with clean and comfortable rooms that easily give some of Lund’s pricier hotels a run for their money. And although there’s not much happening on this side of town, it’s not too much of a walk to get back into the centre.

The four rooms in the main villa each come with wooden floors, a big flatscreen TV, a good-sized desk, and a large bathroom with a roomy shower cubicle. Clean, white sheets make the plump beds look nice and inviting.

There’s also a small annexe just behind main building, which houses a fifth guest room. When we visited, a third building was nearing completion on the same plot of land. There aren’t any single rooms here but the doubles are available for solo travellers at a slightly reduced rate.

The friendly owners Milla and Klas also run Winstrup Hostel and Hotell Oskar, which are both within a short walk of each other on the other side of the train line.

If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay and would rather not share a dorm (or pay top whack for a hotel in the centre), Check Inn is definitely worth a look.
