A big hotel, we were in the "other" building, which makes it not as comfortable
To get to our room we need to take the lift down from the lobby, have quite a walk to the "other" building and then take the other lift.... not the end of the world but with all our language it was a hassle

The breakfast is legendary! And for good reason. From fresh juices to smoked salmon, pastries, bacon and eggs, even a barista! Also, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the location is splendid by the river and footbridge.

The breakfast is really really good and the bar is really nice to meet people for a drink etc with a lovely atmosphere looking over the water
The staff were very friendly and helpful
The night we checked in we arrived late in the evening and they put us in a room right down the back of the motel and we had to walk through the middle of a conference to get to the lift to go up to another building and room was above the function centre with music and dj thumping till 2am. We rang reception and asked to be relocated but the couldn't do it till the next day. The rooms are very basic sbd quite small

The breakfast was good. It was a lot to choose from. The coffee from the barista (who was especially nice and kind btw) was a morning blessing. The staff on the restaurant were helpful and polite.
1. The parking was too far from the hotel. When you are tired after hours of driving, or have small kids, or much luggage, or the weather is very bad - that’s a big issue.
2. The interior is starting to look tired. It’s time to renovate the rooms and hallway. The bed or bathroom were not especially comfortable.
3. The cleaning could be better. It was stains on the bedding, which we unfortunately noticed only in the morning. The shower wasn’t especially clean either.

Comfortable quiet room. The breakfast was excellent!
It's not correct to say "didn't like". This is a large hotel so it caters for high a volume of guests so expectations are never as high. It was all fine and ideal for a weekend break.

Excellent breakfast. Good location.
Restaurants were not working. Not what you wanted when tired after a long day and novas advertised.
Alternative was a £29 per head burger in the bar. Not very hot or well cooked and served by the only unfriendly member of staff.
Rather poorly lit bedroom.

The dimension of the room, the view, the comfortable beds, the breakfast
The bathroom (too small, too simple, 0 amenities - not even a decent hair dryer), the smell in the corridor, the poor state of the furniture, the working table (not functional)

2 staff members were genuinely nice and helpful.
Hotel was shamefuly filthy. First room: had to clean the sink before using it. Vacuum cleaning was only half done. Light switch was so disgusting (finger marks. Fat. I hope) that I rushed back to the reception. They changed my room (with a nice upgrade). Second room: visibly torn sheets, stain (fruit juice. I hope) on the furniture next to the bed, and blood stain on the bed frame.
So I checked the rest of the room because of the obvious lack of cleaning. I found accumulated dust dating from several weeks on picture frames... Corridors were regularly dirty with dust balls big enough for my cats to play with, various crumbs, stains,...
Really, really filthy. I reported it to the reception and offered to talk constructively to the cleaning management. I emphasized that I was not looking for any kind of compensation. 4 days later, still no contact by anyone. Let alone an apology...

Nice bed, great breakfast
The cleaning and maintenance was really bad. We did complain and show pictures to the staff. Everything was either loose, dirty, or had fallen off in the bathroom.
I wish they changed the towels at least once during my week stay.

Location, food, cleanliness and comfort
I was disappointed by the response I received when asking if I could have access to one of the numerous empty rooms in the deserted basement area. I was basically told that it was ‘not possible’ to open the door to one of the rooms, why? Other than the man on the desk was a jobsworth in a uniform. Very unhelpful and I doubt whether a man would have received the same answer.

One thing that could be called "liked" in this hotel is the breakfast.
We chose this hotel because of its location and name. We wanted a quality overnight stay between long train journeys to rest "on the ground". It was also my birthday, so when choosing a room we looked for a room with a view. We got a room "with a view" (I've attached a photo). Ok, that's not a problem. But we slept like we were on a train, because the nearby railway both vibrates and makes noise. We got what we were running from :)
Hope it helps someone to avoid it if you book - ask if it's not in the new building and especially if it's not room 170.

The bedroom was comfortable and had a lovely view. The breakfast buffet is probably the best in the city. Friendly staff and easy check in.
I’ve stayed at many different Scandic locations, and what I found disappointing about this facility was how inconvenient it was to connect to the internet. On top of that, you could only cast music to the TV from your phone or other devices—not shows or movies—which was especially disappointing since most, if not all, other Scandic locations offer that feature.

There seemed to be a small mix-up with the room cleaning. The bed and bathroom were clean, but the rest of the room wasn’t, including dirty coffee cups, and we received only one towel for two people.
We really appreciated the city’s warm underground parking nearby, especially in December with freezing temperatures outside.
The room was spacious and comfortable.
Breakfast offered a wide variety and everything was very tasty and filling.
Despite the cleaning mix-up and towel issue, we still appreciated the location, parking, and perfekt breakfast.

The breakfast here is very good. A very large selection. The staff if very welcoming.
Unfortunately the matresses did not suit us. Also, although the breakfast is delicious, if you want to invite a guest from outside the hotel, it is very expensive.
