Excellent but a couple of negatives
Fantastic hotel and well located with really friendly staff. Only 2 little niggles - restaurant and bar closed on Sundays (how mad), and mattress slides off single bed because sheet is too small to tuck in. Otherwise, excellent.

A stunning hotel which belies the good price. Within easy walking distance of the main city and with plenty of places to visit or eat. Hotel room is extremely spacious and comfortable. Service was fantastic and breakfast super to start the day. Within walking distance of the Ferry Port.

room with a sauna
Nice classy hotel. The rooms aren't' spectacular and a little out of fashion, but we took the upgrade for an in-room sauna that was great once we figured out how to use it. They also have a downstairs communal sauna.

This hotel is an excellent choice! Do not get the two `Scandic Grand` hotels confused as I did, it involved a bit of extra walking (my fault) The hotel is very convenient to the Viking Line terminal. It has a gym and sauna which was enjoyable. Very good room and helpful staff although the front desk can get backed up from time to time.

It is a grand old building, and and must have been impressive in its heyday but now it is not so fancy. My room was small, but as a solo traveller it was fine. The service from staff was good, and I had an enjoyable stay, and would consider staying again.

Good hotel - very warm room
I chose the hotel because it is very close to the Viking Line ferry terminal. The hotel is fine - good size rooms, quiet, and good breakfast. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and gave great suggestions for restaurants and using public transport. The only problem we had was the room was quite warm even though the thermostat was set at the lowest possible temperature. The front desk folks did provide a portable fan that helped.
