Room clean and spacy, staff helpfull and breakfast very good
VERY convenient walkable location to city center. Property might be a little older but it’s well kept and clean. They have a sauna and staff is friendly. Had a great stay!
I had a very pleasant stay all around! It was the best budget I could find in Dec, and was very pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and staff was very warm and welcoming! The location was great in the downtown area and very walkable to many restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again!
Rooms are old, there is a stink coming from the shower drain, not terrible but noticeable.
Staff nice and helpfu. The best thing about the hotel is the location, right at the town center
clean room. excellent and kind staff. with sauna in the bathroom. sauna was sooo good. warm and comfortable. close point to the city central. I chose a room without breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities
Definitely a modern room with a phone in the room so we don’t have to go down to the reception every time we need something would be highly appreciated. A kettle in the room with few tea bags would be a nice touch
Excellent location, felt safe. Was clean, warm, cosy, and friendly helpful staff. Would definitely recommend. A little dated but part of its history ( pictures of how it looked many years ago on walls) and feature.
Everything we needed as a base
Scandic Polar is an old hotel what need full restauration but is good enough for holliday,excellent staff and breakfast is very good.i will come again here if the price will be ok
