'I stayed at the world's only IKEA hotel - one thing completely blew me away'

Ever fancied a quick nap in one of IKEA's cosy display bedrooms? Turns out, you can do just that. Travel influencerChelsea Dickenson, known online as the 'Holiday Expert', recently visited thefurniture store's world-first hoteland shared her verdict on its facilities.

Aptly named IKEA Hotell, this accommodation is situated in Älmhult, Sweden, but can be accessed easily by taking the train from Denmark's capital, Copenhagen. It boasts a lounge area, cinema, restaurant and even a museum, which hotel guests can enter for free.

"I went to the world’s only IKEA HOTEL with @thismorning," Chelsea wrote on Instagram. "...What’s even better is that you can catch a direct 1 hour 45 min train fromCopenhagen Airport for just £22.

"Plus, you could stay the night and then catch a direct train to Stockholm in three hours and make it into an epic Scandi train trip!" In general, Chelsea said that staying in a cabin costs £45 per night, while double rooms cost £100 and family spaces are priced at £125.

Various perks come with a stay at the hotel, too, including free laundry facilities, a gym, and a kids' play area. Breakfast is also included in the price.

However, one aspect in particular blew Chelsea away. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this was the food, with meatballs and even a 'luxury hotdog range' available at different spots around the premises.

Chelsea continued: "Meatballs available at the hotel and the museum restaurant - but expect fancier fair at their 'Grillen' restaurant, though they have a luxury hotdog range!!"

She later added: "Honestly, I know I was there for work but I BLOODY LOVED IT and thought it was great value for what you got! Plus, I was blown away by the food at Grillen. It was really, really good and not as ££ as I thought it would be for Sweden!"

Chelsea's review was quickly showered with intrigued comments from viewers. Some even confirmed personally that the IKEA hotel exceeded their expectations, describing it as far nicer than they had imagined.

One person wrote: "We have just returned from a Scandinavian holiday and we stayed here. We made a detour especially. It was so much better than we thought it would be." Meanwhile, another person said: "I had a reservation there for autumn 2020 (so that never happened!) and it's still on my bucket list."

Someone else added: "This sounds like such an incredible adventure!" For those interested in learning more about Chelsea's stay at the IKEA hotel, you can watch her full review on ITVX here.
