Scandic Sjöfartshotellet

Very friendly staff. Nice room, very comfortable bed. Bathroom also good. Hotel situaded very central for my needs and near the harbour, from where I had to go by boat next morning. The street was a little like a backstreet, although central, with not the full rush and pulse like in many other streets. Very silent at night, you could sleep without hearing noises from outside.

The hotel is nice with a good location. Breakfast has multiple options, and there is a nice rooftop. The towels were not changed in our room even though we had requested them. We also had no hand soap after our first night.

The location is this property's strongest positive. It is older but was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice but not the most comprehensive buffet we had on this trip. The gym and sauna are nice. The rooftop bar would be nice but it was too cold for it to open our trip.

Worn down, slow check-in, slow check-out, slow on any services or requests—horrible view from the hotel room, breakfast ok.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Photos don’t relate to quality. More like a youth hostel than hotel. Bar closes early and advice was to visit cheap bar down the road. No sound insulation between rooms. Uncomfy beds. Poor showers. Not what I expected from Scandic hotels!

Rooms were clean, hotel is at good location, close to the Old town and the Viking Line ferry terminal, friendly customer service, great and tasty breakfast! Possibility to get a breakfast package if you're in a hurry in the morning. We will come again! :)

As said in the title … and I genuinely am baffled after reading through the trip advisor reviews that there are hardly any comments about how the walls are paper thin??? We arrived really late/early morning so went straight to bed but had the fright of our lives when we were woken by next door talking and going about their business, it sounded like they were in our room! They weren’t even being loud but you could just hear EVERYTHING- them flushing their chain, closing the doors, talking, even the woman using her hair straighteners you could hear the clacking sound and then her pulling it out the socket … again that’s not their fault but honestly the walls are paper thin… same goes with the windows you can hear everything outside! We came back home feeling like we needed a break from our break as our sleep was constantly interrupted! Were we just unlucky we had people in the room attached to us or did we have a room with no insulation between the walls?! Same went with the corridor you can hear everyone going by especially kids running up and down shouting … not that there were many to be fair seemed mostly adults! Because of this we were mindful of sleeping guests so when we went down to breakfast we slowly shut the door and whispered until away from the corridors as we know how annoying it is! That being said the hotel was very clean and modern, well situated to the main tourist attractions, breakfast was great, we didn’t come across anyone in reception as didn’t need to speak to anyone. Omar on the bar was great! Friendly, helpful and genuine. We ate in the restaurant twice at night … menu not huge but enough to chose from. Couldn’t work out the heating in the room… there didn’t seem to be a thermostat for our own use, we left the window open during the day so it wasn’t stifling hot when we got back. Overall it was a shame about the noise issues but if that’s how the hotels made then there’s no changing that …we probably wouldn’t stay again for that reason but the rest of the hotel was faultless.
