Scandic Stora Hotellet

very nice hotel, Julia at the reception was very kind and welcoming to us. The rooms have bunk beds, my children were delighted with them. parking next to the hotel.

I travelled with my elderly father, who uses a cane. The receptionist gave us rooms that were on an upper floor, one of the furthest away from the entrance. In addition, there was a mini flight of stairs in the middle of the floor that needed to be navigated to get to my father's room. My father struggled, but we were advised that this was a discretionary "upgrade" from the "cheap" room we had booked (it was one of the most expensive rooms on my trip around Scandinavia). On top of all of that, despite the name of the hotel being translated to "The Big Hotel", my room was one of the smallest I have ever stayed in - it was approximately 8 foot wide, 10 foot deep and about 9 foot high. It resembled a interior room on a cheap cruise ship. This is definitely NOT the place to stay if you are claustrophobic. In addition, the restaurant sells itself on being a nice quiet and idyllic place to enjoy food in a calm environment. The prices reflect this intent. However, the staff ignored smaller groups of diners, preferring to ALL hover over the larger group of diners (including a soccer team of REALLY rowdy kids), I guess in the hope of getting more tips. My steak was supposed to be medium rare - it arrived rare at best, but I could not get the attention of any of the wait staff and none of them came to check on how we were doing, and in the end I got up and went to the cashiers desk to pay after waiting for 20 mins for the bill. The cashier just said it was a busy night.

Our experience at the Scandic Stora hotel was amazing. The hotel was very clean and perfectly designed. Breakfast was lovely and the variety of the buffet in the evenings were quite extensive. It was refreshing to see hotel staff, who were genuinely willing to assist; and the level of professionalism was impeccable. George, really made a difference and for the kids to actually tell us, 'thank you, for this holiday', meant everything. The location of the hotel was very convenient, as it was a 12-minute bus ride from the airport. We have decided to stay at the same hotel on our next winter holiday.

Very friendly staff The steam room didn’t appear to be working in the sos and relax area. Hotel is great location for us flying in to Skavasta and meeting family travelling up from Vastervik. Next time will be our 4th visit. 😊
