Pros:

Das Frühstücksbuffet war exzellent-

Cons:

Das Abendessen im Restaurant des Hotels. Das Essen wirkte künstlich, geschmacklich unpassend.
Dass die Bedienung sehr schleppend war, lässt sich immerhin dadurch erklären, dass eine große Reiosegruppe gleichzeitig im Reastaurant war.

Hyvä
Pros:

Hiljattain uudistettu huone oli todella viihtyisä ja siisti. Hotellissa (7.kerros) oli hyvin hiljaista joten nukkuminen ja lepo sujui hyvin. Hissejä oli 4kpl joten liikkuminen eri kerroksiin sujui ilman viiveittä. Aamupala oli runsas, monipuolinen sekä maittava. Sijainniltaan sopivan etäällä keskustan hulinasta, mutta kuitenkin kaikkea lähellä!

Cons:

Auton parkkeeraaminen kadulle hieman haasteellista ja kallista.

Pros:

Huone suurehko ja sänky mukava

Cons:

Aamupalalle kaipaan graavi- tai kylmäsavulohta. Pekoni oli kovaa ja kuivaa , ei tavallista pekonia.

Trochę brakuje do optimum, choć nie jest źle.
Pros:

Zasadniczo przewidywalny, bardzo dobry standard sieci Scandic - wygodne łóżko, cichy pokój, klimatyzacja (choć nieco głośna), znakomita restauracja na dole, dobre śniadanie. Do tego lokalizacja blisko centrum miasta i zarazem terminalu promowego, z którego mieliśmy skorzystać po noclegu.

Cons:

Pokój bez czajnika - ponoć dostępny w recepcji za dopłatą (!). Toaleta bez chusteczek jednorazowych w podajniku. Trochę słabe światło przy lustrze (ważne dla osób z soczewkami kontaktowymi). Nocowaliśmy w czasie tej podróży w czterech hotelach Scandic i wszystkie one posiadały powyżej wymienione rzeczy, nawet hotele trzygwiazdkowe. Deska klozetowa ruchoma - jeden z zaczepów urwany/odkręcony (zdecydowanie to powinno być wychwycone przed zameldowaniem kolejnego gościa). Zmieńcie Państwo miejsce mocowania wieszaka na ręczniki - umieszczenie go nad toaletą to zły pomysł, nie da się normalnie powiesić dużego ręcznika, a tymczasem przeciwległa ściana jest pusta. Parking przed hotelem zapchany po brzegi, auto z częścią naszych rzeczy siłą rzeczy stało przy ulicy. Każda rzecz to niby drobiazg, ale coś ich za dużo na hotel czterogwiadkowy (!).

Pros:

Opłata za psa jest jednorazowa, mimo że sprzątanie byłp codziennie, pieseł dostał prezent powitalny.

Cons:

Malutkie okienko powodowało, że pokók był bardzo ciemny.
Ograniczone miejsca parkingowe, opłata 25€ za dobę a jak sie gdzieś powiedzie, to nie ma gwarancji, że będzie gdzie zostawić samochód na z góry opłaconym parkingu.

Hyvä lepo hotellissa ennen pitkää työputkea.
Pros:

Sijainti työni puolesta erinomainen. Aamiainen tarpeeksi kattava.

Cons:

Baari olisi voinut olla auki, kuten ehkä myös ravintolakin. Katajanokalla kaikki ruokapaikat kiinni. Onneksi yksi löytyi, joka oli auki.
