We just stayed 1 night so we weren't looking for a spectacular hotel. However, for the cost we expected more than what we got. The location and complimentary breakfast options were very good. The staff could have been a bit more friendly and the hotel definitely needs an upgrade. Especially in the rooms like the beds and showers.

Disliked: Room comfort

Good service but poor hardware.

The staff were friendly and the room was spacious. However there are a lot of rooms that are not accessible by lift, and very often tourists had to carry their luggage’s up and down the long staircases, which is very often not easy to do. So be careful when selecting this hotel - if you’re travelling with wheelchairs or heavy luggages, maybe another hotel would be better. If not, Scandic Polar is perfect.

Vieil établissement. Nous avons réservé une chambre double, mais nous avons eu deux lits simples disposés chacun à une extrémité de chambre, l’un derrière l’autre. De plus, l’eau des toilettes ressortait par la grille de douche avec toutes les matières. Ils sont venus déboucher les tuyaux, mais n’ont jamais nettoyé la salle de bains. Sur 4 nuits, la chambre n’a été faite qu’une seule fois

Huone oli miellyttävän oloinen vaikka tyyli olikin jo aika vanhaa. Kylpyhuone ei ollut kuitenkaan kovin siistin oloinen, aamupalalla iso osa astioista likaisia. Huoneessa oli myös ongelmia lämpötilan kanssa. Vaikka ulkona oli -15 astetta pakkasta, huoneessa oli tukalan kuuma. Sinne kuitenkin saatiin huolto paikalle ja seuraavana päivänä huoneen lämpötila oli ok.

Tilat ”huutavat” päivitystä!

Yleisvaikutelma tiloista oli ”nuhjuinen”. Esimerkiksi tein huoneesta seuraavat havainnot: Heti huoneeseen astuessa ihmettelin syntynyttä ääntä, se johtui lattian irrallisesta laminaatista. Lisäksi seiniltä puuttui koristelistan osia, myöskään vuoteiden lukulamput eivät toimineet. Toimivat valot olivat liian kirkkaat ja ”kylmät”, asia jolla on merkittävä vaikutus viihtyvyyteen. Kylpyhuoneen ovessa oli sisäpuolella iso reikä, ja lavuaari oli halki. Rakeenteellisena omituisuutena suihkutilan korkea ja terävä metallinen kynnys ja sen ovien kovaääninen paukkuminen. Suihkun hanan toiminta oli nurinkurinen; toistuvasti vettä tuli vahingossa joko ylhäältä tai alhaalta, todella erikoinen toimintaperiaate. Hissiin mennessä tuli vastaan eräässä kohdassa lattiapäälysteen rikkoutunut osa joka oli korjattu laudan pätkällä. Ala-aulan oleskelutilassa pisti silmään kulmastaan rikkoutunut pöydän lasipinta. Aulatilan muuten siistissä WC:ssä epäkunnossa oleva pesuallas/hana. Tässä tällaisia kiihkottomia huomioita kun niitä pyysitte.

I did not stay at the scandic polar as it was closed. I stay at the scandic pohanjovi instead. This was a more picturesque . Location perfect with busses stopping outside. Also on new yeats eve , i did not have to go outside . This is a four star hotel. It has a pool and sauna. I did not use either mainly because of covid and i was outside most of tbe time.
