Best Western Plus Park City Lund

“Very nice hotel without surroundings”

Very nice welcome by staff, calm and clean hotel and restaurant had excellent food. But absolutely nothing outside the hotel, besides the small city of Lund about three kilometers away.

“How I iron my clothes here”

This is a modern and no-frills business hotel, close to many companies in Lund. I come here often for work. Rooms are modern, fairly new and comfortable.

This is a modern and no-frills business hotel, close to many companies in Lund. I come here often for work. Rooms are modern, fairly new and comfortable. It’s a 20-30 min walk from the city center and restaurants, so either you have a car, you like to walk, or eat at the hotel. But most of this has been covered in other reviews. I will focus my review on my single biggest grudge with this hotel: the iron. I know, this is not something people usually focus on, but I like to go to my meetings properly dressed, and I always iron my clothes, as a few hours packed in a suitcase makes them wrinkled. Most hotels would have a decent steam iron, either in the room, or available to loan. This one only has the cheapest possible iron, probably to tick a box somewhere. And it does not have any steam at all. The first few times I stayed here I got very frustrated as there is no way to get clothes properly ironed with the iron they provide. I asked for options at the reception, wrote complaints etc. Nothing changed. Still that crappy iron being the only option. Until I got a tip from a fellow colleague that changed my life. If the iron has no steam, I need to steam my blouses, skirts etc prior to iron them. Brilliant, how did I not think of that earlier? So here is my tip. Prior to ironing my clothes I steam them in the bathroom. To do this I hang my items on the inside of the shower, using the hangers from the room. Then I set the water at the hottest temperature (making sure I click the unlock button to get past the 38oC temperature), I turn on the shower (making sure to again click on the unlock button to get maximum pressure). Close the bathroom door (otherwise the steam will trigger the fire alarm in the room). Then just wait. I found that you need at least 20-30 minutes of steaming to be able to properly iron my clothes. I take this time to catch up with my emails etc. After this wait time, ironing – even with that crappy iron in the room – is a breeze. You’re welcome.
