Scandic Sergel Plaza - Room 541

The hotel is located in the center of Stockholm very close to shopping centers as Gallerian and NK, The Old Town and other tourist sights. If you come from the airport with Arlanda express or with train from other parts of Sweden, it's a 5 mins walk from Stockholm central station.

It's a big hotel and has long hallways with rooms on both sides. The view from the rooms are also very different, some has a view over Sergel Torg and from others you look directly to the neighbors opposite (as mine)

The room was quite spacious with an addtionel seating area.

Two closets with extra pillows and an iron board. Also an empty fridge at your disposal.















Plenty of towels :)
A tub and heated towl rail and Lux soap dispensers in the tub and at the wash basin.

Scandic Grand Central - Room 4057

Scandic Grand Central is situated in the heart of Stockholm city and close to shopping, restaurants and Arlanda Express. Many of Stockholm’s most know attractions as “Gamla Stan”, the Royal castle and Vasamuseet are within walking distance.
The building is 130 years old and the hotel opened recently as a Scandic hotel. It’s a big hotel with many rooms and long hallways and there are many different types of room to choose from. The one I stayed in was a King Room.


At the working space you had the option to connect your PC/DVD etc. to the TV, a lot of different plug ins was available.

A big LCD TV at the end of the bed.


In the bathroom there was soap, shampoo and conditioner (not very often) and of course a hair dryer.

Scandic Copenhagen - Room 1455

Scandic Copenhagen is situated downtown, close to the central railway station and only 2 mins from Stroeget shopping street. All 18 floors have been undergoing a major refurbishment which was completed June 2012. The view from the rooms on the highest floor is magnificent, this is the view from my room on the 14th floor (overlooking the city and in the far distance you can see the bridge to Sweden)


The room is quiet big and besides the working space there was a small seating area close to windows, where you could enjoy a book and the view over the city:


In the room was an iron board, a small safety box and hair dryer. A LCD tv with Danish and international TV-channnels.


















The bathroom was equipped with shower and soap dispensers

The wireless is always free of charge at Scandic :) - which a lot of other hotels could learn from.

Scandic Elmia Jönköping - Room 314

Scandic Elmia is situated opposite the Elmia fair and is a good choice if you have to visit the fair, however there's not much else to do. It takes appr. 10 mins by car to go downtown .

The room I stayed in was on the 2nd floor facing the fair and parking space.












The interior decoration is "standard" Scandic, light and Scandinavian.

An armchair and a small table is also available in the room.
The bathroom was not renovated. but worked OK and with a heated towel rail.
A shower with soap dispenser.

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 1017 (surperior room)

It's always nice to check in at Järva Krog, the staff is very friendly and serviceminded and there're regular different initiatives for the frequenters.
They have been renovating some of the rooms and in this room it was the bathroom since last time I stayed in a room on the 10th floor.

Always a nice welcoming "greeting" - appreciated.








The room has coffee/the facilities, a fridge and a safety.
Also a hairdryer and ironing board is available in the room.

The room is facing toward Stockholm city and you see the sunrise in the morning

Renovated - nothing exceptionel but kept simple.
Soap/shampoo dispenser is available
Though the hotel is location next to the motorway you are not bothered by the traffic. Out of the rush hour it takes around 10 mins to downtown Stockholm by car. At the moment there's still a lot of roadwork around Stockholm city. There's also public transport close by or you can borrow a cycle.

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 900 (superior room)

Back on the 9th floor, but this room was a little bit different furnished than some of the other rooms on the 9th floor. Lighter materials and room for a small couch.

The bathroom with floor heating :)
It has not been renovated but it wouldn't hurt to change the shower or at least descale it.
The toilet was very low - not that I minded - but take when you use it, there's a long way down...
In this bathroom no heated towel rail.

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 1016 (superior room)

Another stay at Scandic Järva Krog - actually I stay there almost every week, but I will spare you for all the rooms ;) - only if the rooms are not alike I will review them otherwise I think you will be too bored.

This room is situated on the top floor - the 11th floor is conference floor.

Renovated last year and really an improvement with much lighter and modern furnitures.
A queen size bed with a quilt and 2 pillows - no plugs by the bed which is a bit annoying, you have to use the ones at the desk.

A desk with good lightning if you need to work, however the chair is not that comfortable as it can't be adjusted. Flat screen tv with mainly Swedish channels, but also some foreign as BBC, Discovery and Animal Planet.
In the room you also find a fridge (empty), an ironboard in the closet, hairdryer and coffe/the maker

 The bathroom is ok, but not renovated which is a petty. It's OK but the shower is in need of a change, much better and softer in some of the standard rooms where you also find a rainshower.
A heated towel rail and plenty of towels (extra set in the closet)

A big mirror but no make-up light or a make-up mirror and no necessities.

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 721 (standard room)

Scandic Järva Krog is situated appr. 6.5 km outside Stockholm city center, but very convient and close to my office. The staff at the hotel are the most friendly and helpful I have met during my stays in Stockholm and you're always greeted by name when you're arrive.

The hotel has renovated all the rooms starting from the top floor. The interior in the room is light and "Scandinavian", no heavy furnitures that you have a hard time moving.
The lightning in the room is very good, many lamps and different lightsources.

Free wifi in all the rooms :)

 A small desk with plenty of sockets so you can charge all your gadgets.
All rooms have an ironboard and a hairdryer. Especially the iron possibility in the room I really appreciate.

Your trolley easily fit on the footstole.


.
The beds are equipped with a quilt and the madras is good and have the right soft/hardness.


A smaller bathroom with 2 different showers, a normal and a rainshower. There are plenty of towels if you need as extras can be found in the closet.
