Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of pros and cons. The rooms, while small and quite far from the reception and smoking area, were surprisingly larger than expected for an older hotel. The service was friendly and professional but struggled to keep up with replacing items at times. The location was convenient for the water park but slightly outside the center of Östersund. The dining options were good overall, with a variety of organic products, yet some items were lacking. The facilities were decent, with some room for improvement.
The Scandic hotel offers basic, slightly outdated rooms that are sufficient for a short stay. The newly renovated bathroom was surprisingly spacious compared to newer hotels. The service was satisfactory with regular cleaning but struggled with replenishing items promptly. The location, just south of the city near a gas station, is convenient for walking to the city center but not ideal for noise-sensitive guests. The dining experience at the hotel was pleasant with a good selection of both Swedish and international breakfast options.
The hotel is a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were clean and newly renovated, lacking tea and coffee-making facilities was a downside. The service was lovely and helpful, but the dining experience got slammed by too many people at once. The location is convenient, being just south of the city and within walking distance, though being next to a gas station could be better. Overall, a decent stay with both highlights and areas for improvement.
The hotel has a convenient location close to the city and attractions, but was a bit sad during my stay in July 2014 due to some issues. The service was extremely pleasant and helpful, adding to the overall experience, while the dining options were the saving grace for this hotel.
The Scandic hotel was quite small and right next to the road. The rooms were in poor condition, but the service was extremely pleasant and helpful. The location was a bit far from the city and next to a gas station. The dining experience was good, with a good selection of organic products. The facilities were okay overall.
