Sweden's Hidden Gem: The Old Post Office Hedenaset - You WON'T Believe This! (Seriously, I Didn't)

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a place that’s… well, it's Stockholm-ingly better than I thought it would be. I'm talking about the Old Post Office Hedenaset. And let me tell you, the name alone had me picturing grumpy postal workers and piles of forgotten letters. Turns out, it's anything but. This place is a glorious, quirky, somewhat chaotic (in the best way) slice of heaven in the Swedish wilderness.

First Impressions & Accessibility (The Good, The… Almost Good?)

Getting there? Easy peasy. The airport transfer was smooth as silk. (They offer it, by the way: Airport transfer – tick.) Upon arrival I saw people coming and going, I had to check in into myself, but It was smooth enough, as they offered me a Contactless check-in/out which I absolutely love! I like these kinds of details!

Now, the accessibility. Accessibility is a tricky beast in these charming, older buildings. The Facilities for disabled guests are definitely there, they have an elevator which is crucial. And, bless their hearts, they’re trying. You can tell. But… let's just say navigating the corridors with a wheelchair might require some skill. I was thankful that the Check-in/out [express] option was available! I'm being honest here! I didn't have mobility issues, but I could see the potential hiccups. But they are clearly putting in the effort, which is half the battle, right?

Rooms That Whisper “Cozy” (And Actually Are Cozy)

My room? Oh man, my room. Okay, so first off, Non-smoking rooms, yes! And Soundproof rooms, double yes! I got one with a Window that opens, which is a non-negotiable for me. Air conditioning, Free Wi-Fi (a godsend, because, ahem, Internet access – wireless and Internet access – LAN are available - more on that later), and even an Alarm clock that actually worked. The Bed was extra long (bliss!), and the Linens were ridiculously soft. I mean, I practically melted into them. Little touches like an In-room safe box, Hair dryer, Bathrobes, and Slippers made it feel less like a hotel and more like a ridiculously comfortable home away from home. I absolutely got lost in the sea they had prepared!

The Complimentary tea and Coffee/tea maker were my best friends every morning. Also, a big bonus for me: Blackout curtains that actually blocked out the midnight sun! Swedish summers can be a real test of your sleep schedule. I was really glad about it.

Food, Glorious Food (and Sometimes, a Little Hiccup)

Let’s talk food. This is where Hedenaset truly shines!

Breakfast [buffet] was a dream. Forget your sad continental breakfasts. We’re talking fresh-baked bread (Daily disinfection in common areas included!), mountains of delicious cheeses, Scandinavian delicacies I couldn't pronounce, and strong coffee (coffee/tea in restaurant - absolutely!). They even had Asian breakfast and Asian cuisine in restaurant, which was a fantastic surprise. The Breakfast takeaway service, that's a plus. I'm sold!

They have several Restaurants, including a Vegetarian restaurant. And the A la carte in restaurant was amazing! The western cuisine was fantastic! And if you just wanted something quick or casual, the Snack bar was perfect (Snack bar - tick). The Desserts in restaurant were also fantastic!

Now, the hiccup? Once, the service was a little slow. But let's be honest, I was on vacation, and I had all day to eat, so who cares! And it was worth the wait. I remember that I asked for a Bottle of water and the waiter brought me two!

Spa, Sauna, and… the Pool with a View (Oh, the View!)

Okay, this is where I lost all sense of time and space. The Spa/sauna area is pure, unadulterated bliss. They have a Sauna, a Steamroom, and a Foot bath. You can get a Body scrub, a Body wrap, and every kind of Massage imaginable.

But the coup de grace (as the French, who would love this place, would say) is the Swimming pool [outdoor]. It’s an infinity pool overlooking… breathtaking sigh… the Swedish wilderness. Seriously. You’re just floating in warm water, staring at forests and lakes, and wondering if you’ve accidentally wandered into a postcard. I couldn't resist the Poolside bar for the perfect moment, with a cold drink in hand! Fitness Center is there too, but honestly? After all that relaxation and the food, all I wanted to focus on was the pool. Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind

Okay, let's get serious for a sec. In this day and age, cleanliness is paramount. I was thrilled to see how seriously they took things. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. They also had Hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff were clearly trained on safety protocol. You can even opt-out of Room sanitization opt-out available, if that's your preference.

Things to Do (Besides Being Utterly Relaxed)

While I spent a lot of time relaxing, there's actually a ton to do in the area. They have Meeting/banquet facilities and offer to On-site event hosting, too. Lots of Things to do! You can go hiking, biking (Bicycle parking), exploring the local villages, even taking a boat trip (Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service are all available to get you around).

But Here's the Real Magic…

The Old Post Office Hedenaset isn't just a hotel. It's an experience. It's about escaping the ordinary, embracing the unexpected, and connecting with the raw beauty of Sweden. It’s quirky, it's charming, it's a little bit rough around the edges (in the best way!), and it's utterly unforgettable. The staff? Absolutely lovely. The atmosphere? Pure magic.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my grand adventure to The Old Post Office, Hedenaset, Sweden. This isn't your polished travel brochure; this is the raw, unfiltered, and possibly slightly deranged account of yours truly.

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Sauna Panic

• Morning (or what passes for morning after a transatlantic flight): Touchdown in Luleå, Sweden. Let me tell you, after spending twelve hours in the air, it was the closest I've come to understanding what a human-sized pretzel feels like. The airport? Efficient, even in Swedish. But the real beauty lies in the 100-km drive to Hedenaset. Or, at least, what I'd hoped was beauty. Turns out, most of the scenery looks like a slightly greener version of everywhere else. My partner, bless their heart, was driving.
• Afternoon: Check-in at The Old Post Office. It's…quaint. Let's go with quaint. Think "Midsummer's Eve meets a Wes Anderson film, but with more wood." The host, a lovely woman named Lena who spoke English with the most delightful lilting accent, showed us our "room". It's…smaller. I swear, I've slept in bigger shoe boxes. But whatever, adventure time!
• Late Afternoon (the Sauna of Doom): Lena insisted we had to try the sauna. "A Swedish experience!" she chirped. I, being a sucker for all things "authentic," of course, agreed. Famous last words. Inside, it’s hot, really hot. We're basically baking. My partner's enjoying it, eyes closed, serene. Me? I'm channeling my inner Lobster, starting to sweat faster than a politician at a press conference. The instructions are…non-existent. Then, the bucket of water and ladle. This is when it became a true test of my mettle. I somehow managed to spill half the water on my leg, feeling like I'd just been baptized in the hot hellfire of a thousand suns. I survived, but it's safe to say, I'm not a natural sauna enthusiast.

Day 2: Rivers, Reindeer, and a Quest for the Perfect Fika

• Morning: A breakfast of champions! Or rather, of Swedish rye bread, cheese that smells faintly of feet, and coffee so strong it could raise the dead. (Spoiler alert: I needed it to face the day). We rented bikes. And so begins my love/hate of these two wheels.
• Late Morning to Afternoon: We cycled along the Torne River. The Torne River… it was an experience. The scenery was lovely, and the sun even came out which made me feel like even the sun was cheering me on. I'm not fit, and my bike had gears, and let me tell you, hills and gears don't always see eye to eye.
• Afternoon: The highlight of the day: reindeer! We went to a Sami village, and learned about the Sami culture, and the reindeers. I swear, these majestic creatures are some of the calmest, most elegant animals I've ever seen. We fed them moss, which was both messy and magical. And, okay, I may have shed a tiny tear when one nudged my hand for a second helping. It was a very emotional experience.
• Evenings: We tried to find the perfect "fika". Let me tell you, finding the perfect fika is a serious quest. We're talking cinnamon buns, the coffee situation, it's all just…so important. We taste-tested at three different cafes and the coffee wasn't as strong as I'd hoped. We were on the hunt for the best, most perfect fika in the whole of North Sweden.

Day 3: The Quest Continues & The Wild North

• Morning: Today we went kayaking. I've kayaked before, but this was different. The river was so calm, it was like floating on a sheet of glass. The silence, broken only by the gentle lapping of water against the boat, it was incredible. For a short time. Then, it was like I was in a row boat, and I didn’t realize that I had to steer it.
• Afternoon: Our hunt for the perfect fika continues! The bakeries around these parts are serious about their cinnamon buns, so we drove to what appeared to be the middle of nowhere, just to find the perfect balance of fluffy dough, spicy cinnamon, and sweet icing. This time, we found it. A tiny little bakery on the side of the road, serving buns that were basically edible clouds of heaven. The coffee was strong. The buns were amazing. I honestly think I had a spiritual experience right there.
• Evening. We went for another bike ride, this time in search of the Northern Lights. If you ask me, it was more like a search of the pitch black as we had no luck seeing them.

Day 4: Departure and the Lingering Smell of Sauna

• Morning: Sigh. Checkout. Had to say goodbye to Lena.
• Afternoon: Train back to the airport, and onto the plane.

Final Thoughts: This trip wasn't perfect, sure it wasn't. There were moments of utter bliss, moments of minor panic, and a lingering smell of sauna that's probably permanently embedded in my soul.

Would I go back? Absolutely. Hedenaset and beyond is a place that gets under your skin. It's raw, it's beautiful. And, let's be honest, the cinnamon buns are worth the trip alone.

So, there you have it. My messy, honest, and utterly human account of my Swedish adventure. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need another cinnamon bun…

Sweden's Old Post Office Hedenaset: You WON'T Believe This Mess! (FAQ & My Brain's Chaos)

Okay, spill it. What *IS* this Hedenaset place anyway? Seriously, what even IS it?

Alright, alright, settle down, you curious cats! Imagine a little remote village in Swedish Lapland. Picture snow… a LOT of snow. Now, within this winter wonderland, there's this… this *thing* called the Old Post Office Hedenaset. Basically, it *was* a post office. Now, it's like, a… well, it's an experience! I first heard about it from an Instagram ad, and honestly, the picture didn't do it justice. It's cozy. It's rustic. It's about as charming as a well-worn mitten. Think crackling fire, reindeer skins (yes, really!), and the scent of woodsmoke clinging to everything… INCLUDING me, for like, a week afterward!

Is it… touristy? Because I HATE crowds.

Bless your misanthropic heart! No, thankfully, it’s not overrun with screaming selfie-stick wielders. Hedenaset? More like "Heden-AWAY-from-the-hustle." It's genuinely off the beaten path. I went in mid-February – and the only other people around were a couple of locals and, I swear, a family of particularly judgmental squirrels. Truly, you'll encounter more loneliness than tourists. But that's… well, that's the magic, isn’t it? The quiet. The space. The utter lack of forced smiles. Perfect if you're trying to escape the internet and its constant judgement.

What’s the *vibe* like? Is it fancy-pants or… what?

Fancy-pants? Honey, no. Think… worn-in cozy. The decor is basically "stuff they found lying around and thought was pretty." There's a lot of wood. Like, *a lot*. And the kind of random, almost forgotten-about details that feel like a hug. Think old maps on the walls, a half-finished knitting project on the couch, and maybe, just maybe, a stray sock or two. The vibe is profoundly relaxed. Like, I swear, I almost fell asleep *standing up* after the second cup of strong, Swedish coffee. And that feeling of sleepiness... it's wonderful. It's allowed.

So, the food? Don't tell me it's all just herring and pickled things. (shudders)

Okay, so, deep breath. They *do* have herring. And you'll probably encounter some pickled bits. But the food at Hedenaset is… phenomenal! Honest-to-goodness, soul-warming, home-cooked goodness. Think hearty stews, fresh-baked bread, and, yes, some seriously delicious reindeer meat. I actually ate reindeer for the first time there. It was… a revelation. Tender, flavorful… I practically licked the plate clean! And the dessert? Oh, the desserts! They make these little berry pies… pure heaven. Forget your diet, folks. Just forget it. You'll be burning calories from the cold, anyway.

Okay, the main activity: What's there to DO?! I can't just… *be* there, can I?

YES, you absolutely *can* just be there! And it's glorious! But if you must "do" things… well, there are options. Dog sledding is a big one. I did it. Pure, unadulterated joy. Zipping through the snowy landscape with a team of enthusiastic huskies? Amazing. Just… be prepared for the cold! Layer, layer, LAYER! Also, learn to steer. It's not as easy as it looks. My sled may or may not have ended up tangled in a snowdrift. *Twice*. Also, you can snowshoe, chase the Northern Lights (if you're lucky!), take a sauna (ah, bliss!), and wander around, drinking in the sheer, unadulterated silence. It's a complete reset.

The Northern Lights? Seriously? Did you *see* them? I'm dying to see them.

Okay, okay, buckle up for a very unglamorous truth bomb. Yes, I *tried* to see the Northern Lights. I spent HOURS outside, bundled up like a Michelin Man. I squinted at the sky until my eyeballs felt like pebbles. I even cried a little (mostly from the cold, I swear!). And… I saw… *nothing*. Well, okay, I saw some stars. Beautiful, sparkling stars. But no dancing green lights. It was a major letdown. A truly epic fail. But honestly? Even without the Aurora Borealis, the experience was still totally worth it. Don’t let the lack of lights dissuade you from going!

Is it *expensive*? Because that's always my biggest concern.

Yeah, let's talk money. Sweden in general isn't exactly budget-friendly. Hedenaset is… well, it's an investment. Don't expect to find a hostel. The lodging is cozy, but it is not cheap. And the activities, the food, the whole experience… it adds up. Definitely save up beforehand. But! For me, and I'll say it again, it was worth every single penny. It's an investment in your well-being. In quiet. And, let's be honest, in some truly incredible reindeer stew. But be prepared to shell out a good chunk of change.

The Worst thing about it? Be brutally honest.

Okay, here's a truth bomb: The internet. Or, rather, the *lack* of internet. It's notoriously spotty. And I am addicted to that screen. And It was HARD at first. I'm used to instant gratification, you know? But then I realized: I was still alive. I didn't *need* to be online. I actually started talking to people. Reading books. Looking out the window. It was… freeing. But be warned: If you're glued to your phone, this will be a challenge. Also… getting there is a bit of a trek. Long flights, connections, rental cars… it took forever. But, then again, that’s part of the charm, right? The getting away from it all?

So… would you go back? (The REAL question!)
