Defunct card.

Lived in a room for handicapped. Nice room and bed with electric adjustments. WC is mounted a bit close to the wall. Fantastic breakfast. When ordering room i did a mistake and ordered Thursday to Saturday. And then Sunday. When i came they combined these 2 orders, but they haven't done it so my keycard was defunct.

Scandic hotels are dependable

Typical Scandic Hotel, good location, basic room but comfortable and impeccably clean. The staff were friendly, helpful and competent. And, of course, an excellent buffet breakfast with many options, fresh and cooked.
