This is the kind of hotel I hate... I didn't realize that before booking.... it is one of these hotels with thousand rooms... the location is perfect if you travel with the viking lines but for the rest... The staff is friendly actually very friendly and helpful but the room was very small and here is once again the same... More

The hotel is not too far away located from the city center. The room was pretty small and furniture basic. Shower without any amenities. And just a very small window that could open 10 cm. I ordered roomservice and was amazed by the delivery charge of 10 EUR which is way too much and not customer friendly. All in all... More

Back to a hotel first visited over ten years ago, still to be appreciated for convenience of location. The Central Station is within walking distance, and there is a tram from a block behind the hotel. The hotel is comfortable, hospitable, with functional rooms, and good restaurant services. Recommended for a business trip as reasonably priced and agreeable accommodation.

For a US$160.00/nightly rate, it's unbeatable. Walking distance to Old Town, quiet, un-pretentious and views to the water and to the harbored ships. No noise, no muss, no fuss. The included breakfasts are the best in Northern Europe. Generous, tasty, and classic. The eggs were scrambled, French Style, creamy and sufficient. The rooms were simple, clean and warm. A 10...

Nice looking exterior but nothing special inside. Despite the proximity of the harbour, views from rooms tend to be obscured by a ferry terminal. Location is a short walk from the harbour/square. The restaurant was closed so breakfast had to be taken in their conference facility and was adequate.

This is a dated Hotel, in need of refurbishment. The room was pretty cramped. ( but for the Scandanavia , I think this is typical ) . The Bathroom was more like you would get in a Hostel. No Shampoo ? What's that about...Air Conditioning poor and could not be controlled. There's no coffee/tea making facility in the room. Not... More

Generally a fine hotel. Guess better in spring/summer as walk from town centre in a winter wind was a little daunting. Bar staff were excellent. Reception staff needed a bit more polish. Not unhelpful, just that the spark was not there. Room just a little small for two of us staying 3 nights. Could have done with a second arm... More

I recently finished a hotel management course where - in 4th year - we spent hours studying Scandic's sustainability and CSR. When I knew I was going to visit Scandinavia I had to book a stay at one of the Scandic properties and it was pretty good! Location is great, just a 12 minute walk from the rain station, close...
