Good location, quiet room, and nice service

Small but perfectly adequate room with a nice view on to a quiet pedestrian street. The service was nice, the location of the hotel excellent, and the room was very quiet although it opened directly to the elevator lobby in the floor.

Dated rooms, poor breakfast, loud street, no sleep

Awful, awful hotel. Rude staff, services didn't work on room TV. Can't get it fixed. Dated rooms, leaky shower, horrible beds and pillows especially. We were unable to sleep for all 5 nights! Over 200 euros a night and no sleep, we will never return to this hotel. No air con so have to keep windows open but there are drunk people outside screaming through the night, also hotel chose not to inform guests that building works with heavy machine start at 7.30am outside windows! Breakfast is poor, no real bacon, unwashed lettuce with horrible black stuff on most mornings. There are way better options in town now, avoid this hotel!

Could be cleaner

I have stayed at this location several times in the past. Although it still needs to be refurbished, we were very disappointed in the cleanliness of our room after we checked in. As an example, glasses weren't clean and had small pieces of paper stuck to them and small pieces of paper were on the floor throughout the room. The breakfast was the standard Scandic breakfast and service was friendly as well.

OK stay the city centre

I was transferred from another hotel operating under the same brand and the stay was somewhat underwhelming. The staff was friendly, but hotel’s public spaces are worn and the decor is out of date. The view from my room was to a garage. The breakfast was rather scaled back due to COVID with only few guests at the venue, but some things ran out before the end of service. OK for short business trips, but not for any kind of romantic getaways or staycations.

Centrally located in the shopping district and only a couple minutes' walk to the main square. The Aura River is also close by. The room was clean and the hotel itself is well-maintained.

Overgrowded breakfast and trough service

The hotel had a great location, right at the downtown, but the service was poor: a person in the reception didn't bother to smile and I felt like she being too busy to answer my questions. I tried to ask about saunas and gym and she was just telling that I find the info in the booklet at the room and hurried me to continue from her desk. I felt like being on her way when she was here to serve some more important customers. The most horrible experience ever was the breakfast: I went there with the kids 1,5 hours before closing, to avoid the rush. But the lines were horrible, there was no empty table left, we had to wait the meal like in some lousy gas station, the people just standing with their plates as there was no place to sit. When we finally found a table it wasn't in the restaurant area but in the lobby. The people were standing back and forth all the time. Almost all the food from the breakfast table was gone before we got there and every object we had to wait quite a long time. I didn't feel like spending a peaceful holiday morning with a nice breakfast. Instead my kids got sad as not having the same things the people next to us were eating, I got mad as had to wait over 20min to have a cop of coffee and I really felt like the hotel breakfast was over booked considering its premises. Expecially in these corona times it really felt unsecure and stupid; and not even nice and peaceful what should be the main point in hotel breakfasts.
