Reviews of Scandic Spectrum
Carla from Norway – 11 April 2025 (8/10)
Clean, good bed, good showet, good breakfast
What could be improved: Not tea available in the roomCagla from Turkey – 9 April 2025 (7/10)
The hotel is stated at a good location, minutes away from Tivoli Gardens. Breakfast is excellent.
What could be improved: Pool and sauna facilities can be easily understood that they are already under the standard hotel package unless you carefully check guest comments/questions. You need to pay extra (good amount of money) where they combine it with dinner packages and you need to reserve to find a spot for the pool, besides kids are not allowed. If you want a room with canal view then you need to book for a superior room.Linda from United Kingdom – 8 April 2025 (8/10)
Breakfast was great, though much better laid out in the room at the weekend. It was not organised well at all on Monday or Tuesday.
Room was fab, lighting a bit difficult to use, too many options.Ömer from Turkey – 7 April 2025 (9/10)
Great to stay

Facilities, great staff, location
What could be improved: Cost of car parkingDelia from United Kingdom – 22 March 2025 (8/10)
20 minutes easy walk from train station.
Only £3 each way on lovely frequent train straight into airport. Journey time 15 mins.
Excellent breakfast with everything you could possibly want – well cooked and fresh with v good coffee! Right on river where all the locals swim early morning in icy water – very clean water!
What could be improved: Had to book a time slot for breakfast the night before / but it kept us on track for sightsee itinerary!Rachel from United Kingdom – 21 March 2025 (9/10)
Great hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. Facilities are superb, and the additional cost for the spa facilities was worth it. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and the hotel is in a great location with easy public transport to and from the airport.
Would definitely stay again!
