They don’t want loyalty they just all your money

Terrible check-in. I stayed often in Scandic hotels in Stockholm when visiting. Now I have to wait until 16:00 hours to check in without having to pay to 200 Swedish kronor for early check-in even though plenty of rooms was available since long. It makes you feel you are a valuable returning customer. Not! I will consider other options from now on in Sweden as this was appalling.

We loved the location; close to shops, restaurants, key attractions, and public transit. The employees were also quite lovely. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety and was fresh and delicious. It would be nice if they could deep clean or change the carpet. Quite stained and grimy. I would stay here again!
