All was nice; check in went fast already at 1.30 PM. But, there are no dark curtains in front of the windows in the room; how do you suppose people can sleep in the summer if already now the lights of the traffic and buildings came to the room in the winter?

The breakfast was amazing! The gym, sauna, hot tub were all great. They provided early check in which I appreciate and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. This may have just been a one off but the room bathroom counter had not been cleaned. There was still hair shaving from the previous occupant. Overall great experience.

Stayed here as was attending the EAiE conference . Checked in late and next day. No house keeping was done on my room. When I asked why I was told I had to ask for it the day before . I then asked for it and room was cleaned but no towels provided .Again I asked for these but never provided. Quite disappointed for the rate paid . Good location though

Would not recommend

The only positive aspect of my stay was the view. Unfortunately, everything else fell far below expectations. There was no room service, no fridge, and not even a phone in the room to contact the front desk, which was very disappointing. My shower had mold, and both bedside tables were worn out and in poor condition. Another frustration was the bed setup—Scandic doesn’t seem to offer queen or king options. Even in my “premium” room, I had two double beds pushed together, which is impractical unless you’re traveling with someone else. On top of that, the sofa bed in my room was broken. With so many better hotel options in the surrounding area, I cannot recommend this property.
