Poor Food, Lovely room

The Room was fine, all the activities for kids was great. But the evening menu was very poor. The beef filled have the size of the bun, the ketchup was selfinvented and tasted mostly like pure tomato pure, not kid friendly.. Just a poor experience dinning

Terrible breakfast

Nice Hotel. But as for all Scandic hotels in Sweden the breakfast is terrible. especially the bacon which doesn’t look or taste as bacon, the pancakes which should not be allowed to be called pancakes and the sausages are made from chicken which make me feel sick. Most other Swedish hotels serve a great breakfasts, but not Scandic.

Slitent hotell

Fikk rom mot motorveien. Utrolig mye støy. Sluket var tett og det ble oversvømmelse. Fikk nytt rom.
