5 minutes of walking distance to alvik station, which is 15 minutes away from central station by metro. there is a market open between 7-23. rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, noise isolation was good so we dont hear other rooms.

a/c was working all the time and maximum degree could be set was 24c, we got cold at night but couldnt get it warmer. water pressure at shower was kind of low, it could be higher.

Check-inn: see below Staff: friendly but not well informed/cooperative Room: nice spacious, pretty clean (except some piles of dust in some corners) Breakfast: nice, good quality, good choice, just at busy times sometimes you have empty plates. Check-out: smooth

Check-inn: we were early, the room was ready, but as it was before 16:00 they wanted us to pay app EUR 20 extra…… no thnx, We will wait…. Parking: we parked on parking of Hotel and mentioned this when we arrived: OK sir, that is fine. When really checked in again mentioned it, asking if we pay now or at check-out: No sir, you need to scan the sign at parking lot, download an app (in Swedish) and then pay there….. as it was in Swedish the receptionist tried to do it in the hotel system, but a colleague told here that I had to do it through the app… and on my remark that I did not pay for the first half day: ….oh then maybe you have a ticket…… We had junior suite : 3 persons, so the sofa was a bed. But everything else was equipped for 2 persons only…. (Except the bill ofcourse) There were renovationworks during the stay. Very frustrating and loud…. No warning before, but for us very inconvenient. Gym: small…. Just some equipment squeezed in a small room. The changing rooms are nice though and have a sauna.

Ease to get into city via Metro Nice hotel Facilities OK

Brekkie not included

The room was very comfortable and included all the necessary comodities needed for our stay. The breakfast was delicious and all the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Breakfast was excellent, room was clean. Restaurant and lobby area very nicely decorated.

Pillows were awful

it was overall a very good and comfortable stay. The breakfast was excellent, and the neighborhood was fairly nice as well. so I recommend it :D

I had written to them in booking.com messages, in advance, to provide wine glasses in the room ahead of our stay, but apparently they never saw that message, which was a bit of a pity since it was my boyfriend’s birthday and I had notified them beforehand. Other than the cleaning that was arranged upon our arrival, we didn’t receive any other room service. I ended up picking up glasses and a wine bucket from downstairs myself.

The room was very nice and had a great view. I loved being able to choose when it was cleaned

The lack of a mini-bar

Everything

Room was very cold

Immaculately clean, amazing staff, fantastic breakfast, and lovely rooms.

Nice hotel

The hotel is situated right next to Alvik metro station. The green line takes you directly to Gamla Stan. Very practical in that respect. The neighborhood seems safe and calm - so calm in fact that there is very little to do or see around it, especially late at night so keep that in mind if you book in Alvik. But you can definitely make the most of it by taking a short walk along the waterfront and stopping by Poke Burgers for dinner. The hotel is clean and modern, with very comfortable rooms and complimentary facilities (gym, sauna). It’s not just a place to sleep but also to spend leisure time. You can lounge at the bar with a book or have dinner at the restaurant. The copious breakfast buffet was my favorite part ! Very generous spread of sweet and savory options, as well as a few available swaps for dietary restrictions. We took our time sampling a bit of everything. Very helpful and accomodating staff.

Booking and Scandic both indicate the rooms are equipped with ”AC”. However, guests have no control over their own room’s temperature. It can get very hot or cold, depending on external factors. So make sure to bring varied layers for lounging and sleeping. I caught a cold the first night. It’s honestly very disappointing for a 4-star hotel. The hotel’s restaurant is closed on sundays. Not practical for guests when there are so few options nearby. Our stay happened to be on the same weekend as a sports competition, so the hotel was overrun by children. There was quite a bit of chaos and noise. Had we known, we would have picked a different place to stay.

Amazing with the extra bunk beds in the family room

Complicated parking situation

Friendly and helpful personal, comfortable and clear apartment.
