“Just not up to standard...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2010

I am a frequent guest at Scandic hotels in Scandinavia (10-15 nights per year) - and I have to say this is without doubt the poorest experience so far.

From the outside it looks like an ordinary business hotel - conveniently close to the high way. But I was very disappointed... The style of interior is of another time age (let's say the 80's) - and it was VERY worn down. Laquer missing on all surfaces on the wood interior - bathroom with loads of scale - rusty scale in the corners of the shower.

In almost every way possible NOT what I expect from a Scandic hotel - which usually is a somewhat boring - but always nice and large - room, super clean, good shower and good beds.

Breakfast was up to Scandic standard - which is about the only positive thing I have to say.

Very disappointed. For my next trip to that area I will surely choose another hotel...

“room 70s style”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010

It is outside city centre, but not too far, in a quiet area.
It has a playing room which is ok, but what deserve a quick refresh is the room: old and the beds were not made with care .
I asked 3 times a different internet account code before have one not expired.
Breakfast was very good.
It isn't expensive.

“Hotel ikea!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2010

Nice enough hotel, but very utility, think of travel lodge from ikea , it was quite away from kolding so you need a taxi or car. ideal for business or people on a budget. staff very friendly and free internet if required. They had a bar called pub which was cosy but expensive.

“Poor experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2009

This Scandic hotel like some of its brothers in Scandinavia has decided that being eco-friendly meant cutting down on service. For instance the bathroom there had one towel, one hand-towel, no robe, no bathroom carpet. I stayed at some hotels where I got 13 towels, 2 robes and 2 bathroom carpets (I counted). Surely there is a middle ground somewhere. The bathroom included a moth and two shampoo dispensers fixed on the walls so that you feel like you were in a public toilet place.

The room had no curtain to block the view, so either it is pitch black in the room or you have to get dressed in the tiny wet (no carpet, remember?) bathroom. There is generally a poor attention to details I think, the TV set was not ready and had to be reset before delivering menu access to their interactive system, some screws were left in the walls after God knows what was removed, the straps of the fold-in bed were hanging loose out of its cabinet, no bathroom carpet (seriously I don't like wet tiles under my feet when I am getting dressed). The elevator (or the service lift, I am not so sure) indicates 0 when you reach the 6th floor, which reminded me of Disney parks' "Tower of Terror".

I believe the hotel must have been fresher at some point (I see some other reviews that indicated the hotel was fresh two months ago, so I might be very picky or they might have been very unlucky with their previous hotel stays - in any case it was not fresh for a hotel with 3 alleged stars). The location is not that great if you don't have a car. I saw many families there though and many cars parked, so I must assume it's a good place if you can move by your own means. The price was reasonable when booked and paid online.

The mini fridge had no good in it, nor was the room equipped with a bottle opener for the drinks inside, pretty useless. Probably to lure you towards their not so good restaurant. There the service is not so great (not so much by lack of good will but probably more because I have yet to see a Scandinavian food place with good service). The restaurant has no ambiance, no personality, no music, and little choice in what you eat. The price was also not enticing: 320SEK (233DKK I think) for one person with no wine and no desert. Food isn't fresh either, rather on the dry side. Breakfast (included in the room charge which is nice seeing how cheap it was) was pretty good and had a lot of choice to it though (different kind of cheeses, ham, yoghurts, pancakes, eggs, different types of breads, tea and coffee, a few reconstituted juices, etc.).

Some more information: the (non-flat screen) TV has no cinch input. Your included Internet connection is only valid on one device at a time. It will cost you 140DKK to go to the train station (or go from the station to the hotel, of course).

“I'd stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2009

person found this review helpful

The hotel is situated outside of Kolding, with great links to the motorway. Food is amazing, both for dinner and breakfast. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and have excellent internet connections. Staff were very helpful, an there was plenty of parking. Not the plushest hotel in the world, but I would stay again.
