The Scandic Glostrup is simply not to be recommended. The friendly staff, reasonable room sizes and relatively clean atmosphere do not make up for the physical problems that the hotel has. While mine is an anecdotal story which may or may not be representative, I could not in good conscience recommend this hotel to anyone, especially if they are paying close to the published rate.
Upon my arrival on a Sunday, I was given a room which I found to be a bit stark and uninviting, but that was OK; I don't even like fancy hotels. As I sat in the room, I started to notice the plumbing, specifically the toilet, leaking so loudly that I knew I could not sleep there. Then, I washed my hands at the sink and found that after the counter was wet, the glasses started moving on their own, creeping every few seconds, roaming towards an inevitable crash into the sink. I moved the glasses to a safe place and got another room. Again thats all OK; a leaky toilet and slanted counter tops. Big deal. Not even really criteria for review.
The 2nd room seemed fine, so I unpacked, did some ironing and got ready for a nap. Then I tried to close the curtains and saw that the rod was hanging by one end and the curtains would not close because they just slipped off the rod. The fixture was not something I could easily fix (I did try). No one cleaning or maintaining the room could have missed this. So... On to room 3.
The first night in room 3 was actually fine, but here I am on day two during the 1st week of February in Denmark, with the windows open trying to air out the smell of backed up ... to put it nicely, bathroom smells. Apparently the venting of other peoples' rooms is either not to the outside or is not working.
I'm staying on business and because of the relatively remote location of this hotel, and the fact that other business hotels in the area are currently booked, I'll stay out my reservation, but if you have a choice, I'd suggest that you not place yourself in the same situation.
On the plus side, the rooms are neat, if sparse, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The restaurant serves very good food for dinner, at slightly expensive, but not out-of-line prices. I felt that I was completely invisible to the wait staff, but to give them the benefit of the doubt, they were very busy. The breakfast that is included with the room is also good, consisting of an array of breads, fruits, meats, eggs and assorted other items, some of which were new to me and quite good.
Were it not for the state of disrepair in which I found the rooms, I might recommend the Scandic Glostrup, but as it is, it is a frustrating, and for the price, sort of humiliating experience.
