Great Scandic tradition
Scandic is a great hotel chain and this one was no different. Friendly, multi lingual check-in. Free coffee. Even gave us a room a couple of hours early.

Helt ok. Litt gammelt bad, tett sluk og lukten av tett sluk trekker ned, og veldig uhygenisk med dusjforhengløsningen. God frokost veier opp litt.

Senaste boendet, (av många)
Vi har bott på Vulcan ett flertal gånger sedan 2014 och har alltid varit supernöjda men nu så falnar det. Frukosten har alltid varit bra även nu. Det börjar märkas nu att Hotellet behöver fräschas upp. Har börjat att bli slitet med tröga lås, när man vill låsa för natten, färgsläpp i målningen, slitna lampsladdar, TV som inte fungerade. men området och läget är perfekt så med lite upputsning så kommer det att bli bra igen.
