Pluses - The Scandic is conveniently located in a walkable area. The staff were warm and welcoming; happy to answer questions and provide support. The breakfast buffet is excellent and one of the best attributes of the hotel. The sauna is also a top asset that we enjoyed several times during our stay. It was nice to have a gym available too. Minuses - Amenities in the room were missed like a coffee maker and lotion. Mold in the shower was unappealing. Unfortunately the rooftop bar that was promoted wasn’t open and doesn’t open until late spring and summer.

Great location. Room was nice. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a lot of good vegan options and was tasty.
It was a bit noisy from the tram outside and also there was construction inside the hotel. Otherwise enjoyable stay and would come back.
