An exceptional hotel. Fantastic value, wonderful ambience but, most importantly, truly professional, friendly and committed staff - they are outstanding! Ieva, Elisabeth, Paulina and the team cannot be faulted, they provide exceptional service and definitely deliver a “home from home” experience.

Worst bathroom / Best breakfast

10 day visit around Norway staying in different places. Worst bathroom on trip. Shower was not built in, with only a shower curtain, which did not prevent water flooding the bathroom. Best breakfast on trip. The buffet was excellent, with a good variety of hot and cold food. Good, central location and relaxed atmosphere

Bad service- stay away!

I never managed to get to the hotel as they were fully booked - after having accepted to booking! I received a text message when I was almost there telling me that they were sorry but they could not accept me - but had rebooked me in another hotel. When I arrived at the “Hotel 1016” I was charged the price as per Scandic only to find out that 1) the hotel was a dump! And 2) I could have booked the same hotel in the app for half of what I paid! The room was dirty, had cracked class in the window (could not be opened as there was a danger of it falling out). I was so annoyed I went to Scandic to complain, but they only said they were sorry. I am NOT a happy customer and want a full refund. There is no way in hell I can ever recommend staying in any of the hotels again!!!!!

Acceptable but with some major issues

Felt like a worn down hotel that’d been renovated to an ok standard, but nothing fancy. Plus: Great breakfast Minus: No way to control the temperature in a room that was really warm. Silverfish in the bathroom :(

OK for short stay, lavish breakfast

Basic Scandic hotel providing everything you would expect from the brand. Hotel was rather old-schooled and rooms needed renovation, but that expected from small town hotel, beds and pillows were as thin as you can get, and neck pain was inevitable. Breakfast were lavish and you could get anything you may imagine, yet again, Scandic breakfast is always top notch :) Other than, good loaction, very central, very quiet.
