Zum Negativen Hotel Zimmer hat wenig Platz keine Kommode kein Schrank. Kein Kühlschrank. Safe im Zimmer ging nicht. Lärm geschrei und herum rennen, von Kindern und Jugendlichen wo hier ihre Zimmer hatten , da Sportturnier in Nebenstehender Sporthalle war. Laute Musik von draussen, zu hören. Im Zimmer ein knackendes Geräusch zu hören was es war keine Ahnung es Nervte. Frühstück genug Auswahl aber eng und nicht einladend zum Sitzen. Sauberkeit ok 2 Lifte zu wenig für ein so grosses Hotel.lange Wartezeit. Würde das Hotel nicht wieder buchen. Wer es ruhig möchte hier nicht. Zimmer 304

This is core Scandic. You know what to get and this is exactly as expected. Everything is standard Scandic: The beds, the rooms, the bathrooms, the restaurant etc Good location at Bystranda.

The hotel is very nice, but mainly for short trips. Parking costs are very high. Also very nice for kids (table soccer, table tennis, close to the beach)

Hotel was ok. Not happy that one member of staff came over and told us off quite abruptly/like children for eating some food in the hotel lobby (well away from the restaraunt area). Feels ridiculous (especially given no tea/coffee making in the room) and could have been communicated in a more friendly manner given how much it costs to stay

The good: The hotel’s location is excellent — right by the beach and next to Aquarama, which is super convenient, especially for families. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. The bad ( improvement suggestion): We booked a family room, and to our surprise, there was no water boiler, cups, glasses, or even coffee/tea — things that are quite standard, even in lower-star hotels. When we asked the reception, we were told these are not included in family rooms but are available in other rooms. This seems illogical — why exclude families with kids from such basic amenities? Oddly enough, there was an iron in the room but no kettle, which doesn’t make much sense. Also, while the hotel promotes sustainability by not cleaning rooms unless requested — which is understandable — we did request cleaning for the next day at the reception. However, when we returned in the evening, the room had not been cleaned at all. Breakfast was average. There were almost no warm vegetarian options, and the section with muesli and nuts was very limited as well.
