Came back and enjoyed my stay again.
The service by hotel staff was great. The room was clean. The room had a nice view. Breakfast offering was good. The rooftop area was a great place to go up to and have your breakfast or read a book. If you need a snack or coffee throughout the day (or night) the small lobby offerings were great.

Bra läge med superbra frukost
Charmigt med bra läge nära tunnelbanan i Gamla stan. Fantastiskt trevlig frukost med en serviceminded man som skötte det med bravur och personlig touch. Var rädd om honom! Rummet ok men inte så mycket att skryta med. Lite väl svalt i rummet. Badrummet fräsch men kallt på golvet då golvvärme saknades. Allmänt lite dålig känsla för detaljer. T.ex olika glödlampor i armaturer vilket ser lite B ut. Överlag helt ok, men frukosten gjorde allt!

Trangt men god service og beliggenhed
Super beliggenhed i udkanten af Gamla Stan. Meget venlige og servicemindede receptionister. Pæn rengøringsstandard. Har aldrig helt forstået, hvorfor Scandic påberåber sig bæredygtighed ved at springe rengøring over? Mener det er pjattet og i bund og grund mere et spørgsmål om at spare. Heldigvis kan man stadig få gjort rent, men man skal bede specifikt om det! Værelset var meget småt, måtte kante os forbi sengen. Meget lidt plads til tøj. Stort udvalg på morgenmadsbuffet, men meget trangt også i morgenmadsrestauranten.
