Not worth your money

Review of Scandic Polar
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Dec 2024
The hotel is not worth the money! We paid around 600 € for two nights - two persons. Poor standard - bad smell from the bathroom and water at the floor from a little shower next to the toilet.
Is it very loud - you can hear everything from the other rooms and the street.
Breakfast not worth mention - they tried but it did not taste good at all.
We had no cleaning of the room - it seems like they forgot about our room.
Ok the bright side - very good lokation and the beds were acceptable.

We stayed here for two nights on a business trip. The hotel has everything you need or expect. While available, I did not try the sauna.

The rooms were clean and of average size. You can open the window, something I value highly.
The beds were a little narrow and reminded me of a hammock. I slept well anyway.

The room was much too hot, but the receptionist was very helpful and solved the problem.

Breakfast was good, although nothing special.

In general, the hotel shows its age. In one way, it’s the charm of the 50s. But some aspects would benefit from renovation and modernization.

The staff, not just the receptionist, but everyone, was very friendly and helpful!

Hotel needs a little TLC as is is quite dated.

Room was an OK size but beds were lumpy.

Not really attractive.

Common area very dated.

Staff was top notch and the single reason the rating is as high as it is.

Quite costly for what it is.

No real in house restaurant.

Hotel has a very good location. Everything you need you will find it around. Of course, small renovation will be appreciate.
Very quiet, beds were comfortable, breakfast was okay there is choice for everyone.
Small issue with the TV in the room but solution was found.
We arrived on a Saturday, cleaning was done on Sunday but waste was not changed and after that no cleaning until Wednesday, and we left on Wednesday so we asked for towels, another waste bag and paper toilet on Tuesday. We said at the reception Monday evening that no cleaning was done on Monday but nothing changed on Tuesday and we decided to ask ourselves for anything we needed but beds and room were not cleaned for 3 days. That is absolutely inacceptable for the price for the room. That is the only big bad point but very important.
