A stay of necessity, a pretty tired and unimpressive building, but rooms were relatively clean, washrooms fresh. Rooms felt small and cramped. The hotel was clean, and suitable for a stay on the road, but more could be done. Breakfast was ok.

Check in 4 pm? And charging 20 € if you need to get in an hour early to dress for a wedding or party? It just seems cheap and disrespectful. Not a great start to a less than perfect stay.

Hotels are getting greedy and Scandic is no exception. Pushing in-checking to 4 PM and charging significantly, per room, to get into a room an hour early! That should be illegal! And closing breakfast at 10 AM on a Sunday morning? Shame on you! What happened to hospitality?

The room was well cleaned. In spite of that it was a superior room, there was only one chair in this 2-bed room. In the lobby there was only very low chairs/sofas so that an older/retired person had to stand and could not sit anywhere.
