Excellent - will definitely stay again - hopefully for longer!
Pros:

The location is great - near to the train station and a large shopping mall.
My room was huge! Breakfast was busy but well stocked. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The gym was under renovation so not able to be used. The staff did advise me that I could use the gym at their sister hotel 3mins walk away.

Not sure what to say…
Pros:

Bubbly friendly staff when I checked in late evening. Excellent location.

Cons:

Having to wait for the bathroom lights to warm up to stop the flickering. Incredibly cold room and tiny duvet. I tried multiple dead plugs to charge my phone only to discover all the plugs are controlled by a switch near the front door. Great looking shower but could barely remove any soap.. and QR codes for everything! Hospitality is about staying somewhere cozy and relaxing or waking up the next day ready for business 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hmm
Pros:

Morgenmad var godt og sengene var gode.

Cons:

Stillads liiige foran mit vindue. Først oplyst om dette efter booking. Meget lille badeværelse - man kan ikke sidde på toilettet uden ens knæ støder mod toiletpapirholderen. Træls kloakagtig lugt på badeværelset. Enormt lang kø ved check-in - det tog en halv time at komme igennem. Utroligt svinet foran hotellet med affald. Det er vildt at betale over 1600 for en nat med disse kritisable forhold. Plejer ellers at være stor fan af Scandic.

Perfekt für einen Citytrip, wenn man trotzdem nicht am Komfort sparen möchte.
Pros:

Die Lage war super. Das Design (Japandy) war wirklich ansprechend. Die Zimmer waren nicht riesig aber sehr sauber und modern. Hatten ein Zimmer zum Inmenhof, dadurch war es super ruhig.

Cons:

Einziger kleiner Makel war eine flackernde Birne im Badezimmer die etwas gestört hat.

Fint men dyrt
Pros:

Beliggenheden, renlighed, personalet og morgenmaden var helt i top

Cons:

Til prisen fandt jeg sengen og særligt badeværelse meget lille. Skulle nærmest træne squats for at sætte sig på toilettet og når man først var kommet derned at sidde sad man spændt fast mellem væg, væg til bruser og kummen.

Ganske suverænt!
Pros:

Værelset var mægtig fint, og der var godt med plads til min kone, min søn og mig selv.

Cons:

Var lidt ked af, at der ikke var en minibar. Ikke for barens skyld, men vi kunne godt have brugt køleskabet til vores søns mad.
Derudover kunne vi godt have brugt en lidt større skraldespand og lidt større håndklæder, samt Netflix eller lignende streaming tjeneste på TVet.
