2/10 Poor

The Property was very nice as always I stayed. However Im very extremely disappointed with Expedia, just because the price for the room Was extremely expensive for what I paid Compared with the price for the Hotel Im and expedia member for so long Im an Scandic member as well and was really extremely expensive and therefore with out breakfast which the hotel always includes Very bad from Expidia

8/10 Very good

Not used to European Hotels but there were no tissues or a garbage can capable of holding anything above a few tissues. We did not want cleaning service so it was a bit of an issue for me. Bed was more comfortable than expected and the room was nice. Necessities only which was fine. Breakfast was outstanding at the restaurant.

8/10 Very good

Godt hotel, men lidt mangler ved rengøringen.

Rengøringen kunne være bedre: Kopper og glas blev ikke skiftet, selv om de var brugte. Der manglede virkelig de sædvanlige "Kleenex" eller lignende på badeværeslet, da de ikke kan erstattes af toiletpapir. Det ville være godt, hvis affaldskurve blev tømt dagligt. Dårligt system, at man selv skal bestille rengøring. Sig dog, at der f.eks.bliver gjort rent hver 2. dag, så man slipper for at tage sig af det i sin ferie. Ellers godt hotel, fin restaurant med god frokost og middag. Søde og hjælpsomme folk i receptionen. Vi kommer gerne igen!

Gute Lage aber keine Klimaanlage

Zimmer haben keine Klimaanlage und Fenster sind nicht voll zu öffnen. Ab 25 Grad Außentemperatur nicht erträglich

Rommet var rent og greitt, men manglet fullstendig det som gjør det verdig til stjerner. Manglet vannkoker med te og kaffemuligheter. Interiøret minnet om lagerhall med rør etc. Mulig det skulle være spes design, men for oss total bom

Spacious room, friendly staff, and solid breakfast

I stayed at this hotel for one day and was met with very friendly staff. The room was large and nice, but unfortunately the AC didn’t work properly – even with a note saying it was slow, the temperature only dropped by 0.2°C over two hours, and the room stayed uncomfortably warm. Apart from that, everything else was great. A big plus was their cooperation with SATS next door, which you could access directly through the building – perfect for getting a proper workout even while traveling. The breakfast buffet also had a wide selection, and there was nothing to complain about there.

Hotellet oppleves slitt og kunne trengt noe vedlikehold. Sengene kjentes ut som at de var modne for søppelfyllingen, og renholdet er middelmådig med støv over alt. Ok frokost.
