Splendid breakfast
Interior of the rooms is a little outdated and worn out.

9.0 / 10.0
Very cute Nordic design! Amazing pool, sauna. Great location! Close to the center but quiet. The hotel has very good soundproofing. We had a standard room, but the view from the window to the river was gorgeous!
The breakfast was very varied, a lot of healthy products, a lot of goodies.
There is a tour desk in the building next door where you can book reindeer, snowmobile or dog sled safaris.
We liked everything
9.0 / 10.0
We had a family room in the newly renovated block - connected by a subway which was much appreciated in the snowy -25deg weather! The room was very comfortable, great view over the river, and we loved the bunk beds that folded out from the wall for the kids. The breakfast buffet was extensive and very nice, typical of the Scandic chain. The hotel is a few more blocks away from the centre of town, but it is right by the river, next to one of the main tour operators, and on a bus route. The staff were very helpful, particularly in explaining the etiquette for the saunas and pool - thanks! The pool temperature is cool, but that's for cooling off after the sauna - embrace the culture!

Location good. Size if the room was good for 4 person (2 adults and 2 kids)
Breakfast is horrible!!! No fresh eggs was offered, we asked for the omlet and staff was almost laughing at our faces. Was only disgusting scrambled eggs from powder. Bad coffee, no fresh fruits except apples.
Receptionists was useless, telephone in the room was not working and we had to go to reception few times to ask to fix it but nobody even care.
Room was dirty. Housekeeping didn't change glasses and caps during all our stay 6 days!!!! No proper cleaning at all!!!

Family room comfortable for two adults and two kids. Location very good, breakfast good. Good sauna and quit big swimming pool. Room looked nearly new.
Temperature in the room was much to warm and not possible to regulate the temperature. Room overpriced, but this can be because of school holiday.

Lovely hotel, in outstanding location by the river. Terrific views.
An older style hotel, but still very comfortable. Bathroom small, but adequate. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Generous buffet breakfast with a big selection of foods and drinks, catering to all tastes, mindful of food intolerances and preferences. I had a couple of excellent restaurant meals here too, well priced.
I travelled with adults, but the hotel seems family friendly.
It would have been good to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room. If you wanted a cup of tea, you had to go to the lobby and pay for poor quality drinks from machines. This is something that would prevent me staying at this hotel again. I often wake at night and like a hot drink - but to get one you would have to change clothes, catch the lift, have change for the machine, take what came from the machines, etc - not pleasant.
This is the only reason I ranked facilities poor at this hotel.

The Hotel is near to the city and also near to the River. It’s clean and the room was big. The staff was friendly.
everything was ok
7.0 / 10.0
The staff was talkative and very friendly. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The location by the river was fantastic. The history of the hotel was shown around in the public areas with pictures and silverware.
The building was very worn down and old. Clearly the glory days were gone but the prices were still high. The charge for pets was the highest I had ever come across with.
