very central, good breakfast and easily to transport

Dorthea Norway

We couldn't have dreamt about better location! Everything is close, metro station, tram, train station. Sightseeing is as simple as leaving the hotel. I spent the holidays with my husband and We were delighted by lovely staff, everyone was helpuful and nice 💖 We must appreciate breakfast in a seperate paragraph because that's what makes our stay in Scandic Grensen particularly amazing. Rich, nutritious and created to suit everyone's taste. Plenty of beverages from different types of coffee and tea to freshly made juices. When it comes to food we could choose savory options like delicious salmon or warm scrambled eggs as well as sweet - huge variety of cereal, cinnammon buns, wide range of yogurt. And cheese! Omg, yhe cheese! Our room was always clean and fresh, very quiet, considering the fact that it's a city centre. We loved the warm floor in the bathroom. Tltr: we had lovely time and ate very well 💖

Anna Poland

Good location, Comfy bed, Friendly staff. Fast check-in and check-out. We didn't try the included breakfast so I can't comment on that.

Breakfast was excellent! Location is perfect, just 10min walk to the Central station and 5 min from pedestrian area.

Zoran Serbia

Excellent location. Clean facilities. Considering that it's much smaller than other Scandic Hotels, it still offers great services. Breakfast was as good as the others.

Kurt Malta

The breakfast was out of this world good. I can't think of anything that I would change or add, it was perfect.
