“"Good Hotel in the Center of town Jönköping"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

A nice hotel in the middle of town. Walking distans to every thing. The railway station is just 5 min to walk to. But you don't hear the trains for the hotel.
It's near to some museums like the Match museum and Viktor Rydberg museum about 5 min walking distans. Ther is also ner to the cenrtal shoping area about 10 min to walk.
The towns pier is about 10 min away whit nice veiw´s over the lake Vättern and in the summer time ther is some resturangs ther with nice food and pubs.
The hotel have the parking place in the bilding in a level under the reception. Thay have three levels of room. The standard hotel room, the Superior and the Suite. In my wisit I stay in a sigle stadard room ner by the fitness center. It was a nice light room with hardwood floors. The interior is nice and cleen in a average standard nothing for me to complain about.
I did't hav the time to use the relax and fitness center but I visited it in the morning when it was closed just for a look around. It seams to have more and less every thing you need spacial för the Relax part. You have sauna, SPA-tretment and yoga and even more.
The hotel have also borrow bicycles so you can go round a larger area to explor the town and the area around.

“Good Hotel in excellent location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

Hotle is up to usual Scandic standards and breakfast is amazing - vast choice and great Lofbergs coffee! Located right in the middle of town which also serves as its comedown. We stayed over Friday and SAturday whilst attending family wedding. We were on the 6th floor on the side street and teh noise from revellers and nightclubs was horrendous. This would put me off staying here over a weekend again I would rather stay at Scandic Elmia and suffer the slightly further distance into town. Free wifi is excellent too!

Room Tip: high floor

“Luxury hotel for good price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

Luxury hotel placed in the the heart of the city, just 500 meters from lake, and small port wher all restaurants are placed and night life is taking place.
I had a single room, it was good, but little to small for me, will be great if will ahve maybe 2 square meters more. Rooms designed in modern style. You can see hand of swedish designers - everything elegant but minimalistic - without a shining and brightning stuff - perfect for me. Nice bathroom, comfortable to use, good hotle cosmetics.
Great service. Fantastic breakfasts, great choice of food, from hot to cold. I stayed there for one week and there was no need to eat same thing, it was enough good choice to try everyday something new.
Hotel offer also underground parking with additional price, and this is good especially if there is really difficult to find parking place around hotel.

“Good central location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2010

As the title says, the hotel is in a great central location and on-street parking is free after 6pm. Very friendly receptionist who gave us some general info and maps of the city. Most importantly, she gave a great restaurant reccomendation for "Twin City" just along the road. Room was up to the usual Scandic standard.

Our last night in Sweden and a very enjoyable night in the restaurant followed by a 5 mins stroll back to the hotel. It's also worth a short walk to the harbour area - more restaurants and very quaint.

“Good location close to the rail station”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2010

Clean room with work desk and a bed. Nothing extra ordinary as most Scandic Hotels, but comfortable and I slept very well. Very helpful staff and a plentyful breakfast.
