Guest reviews for Scandic Opalen
"This was quite alright. Generous views and a lot of space in the room. Good breakfast. Good location really close to the tram. Really nice that we could get a late checkout. Overall, very positive experience."
"The room was a tiny bit dated and the pillows were really uncomfortable. They are, however, renovating, so this may not be a problem for long in this room."
"Great location, 15 min walk to the City centre, 5 min walk to Gothia Towers, Lisberg Park and Universum. Nice sauna and whirl pool to relax in the morning or evening. Tea kettle, hairdryer, iron and ironing board are available in each room. Rooms are very clean. The hotel staff are very polite and helpful. The breakfast is fresh and plentful. I would return back"
"All good"
"They offer a fantastic breakfast selection, especially considering it’s a yearly event for the Gothia World Youth Cup. The rooms are quite basic, but I suppose that’s the norm in the area. The location is excellent, though."
"The floor might need some renovation soon. I see a lot of scratches. Just a minor concern."
"They have a great breakfast selection especially for a Gothia World Youth Cup yearly event. Rooms are pretty basic but I guess that is the standard in the area. Location is excellent."
"They might need to refurbish the floors. It would be better if the windows have handles. Quite minor concerns."
"This place was clean and centrally located. The kids loved the breakfast and bunk beds, and seemed this the best hotel of the whole trip."
"Waiting for the elevator, but that’s every hotel."
"Breakfast were healthy and were often refilled so that everyone gets theirs. The hotel was full of families staying with kids. Despite that, we didn't hear a lot of noise, and the facilities are kept clean and tidy. City center is walkable."
"The spa and fitness center are small: it's only a single sauna room and a single hot tub for a 15-floor hotel. In the evening, the spa area is wet and unattended. The fitness machines are old and squeaky."
"The location was great, the staff were friendly, the bar and restaurant area were a good size. I liked the hustle and bustle of the place and the gym/ spa are was great."
"Sauna wasn't very hot."
"Great breakfast, convenient location to Ullevi and trams."
"Room quite small."
"Breakfast was fantastic, everything tasted fabulous especially the Swedish pancakes."
"Sauna should have automatically been turned on at 2 PM Instead of having to notify the front desk."
"I was here for almost 2 weeks and so the breakfast got a little boring as it is the same every day. But it is a large assortment so if people like to eat breads for breakfast, there’s a big selection. The location is excellent. Within walking distance of Parks and shops and the stadiums. I love this neighborhood."
"Americans are used to having a small fridge and microwave and this hotel has neither. There is a nice tea, kettle and assortment of tea and coffee in the room however which is very nice.."

Guest reviews
"Lovely breakfast with homemade bread, delicius. Beautiful houses and seaside view. Very friendly staff. The room was simple but comfortable with an extra heater in it."
"Die Lage des Hauses ist besonders vorteilhaft: nah an Ystad (10 Min. ins Zentrum) und an der Küste (4 Min.), dabei kaum Bebauung in der Nachbarschaft, extrem ruhige Umgebung und trotz Durchgangsstraße kaum merklicher Verkehr. Das Haus selbst ist sehr geräumig und bietet einer Familie mit Kindern genügend Raum. Besonders schön ist die abgeschirmte Südterrasse mit einem weiträumigen Blick über Felder und Wald mit Hasen und Rehen. TV mit nationalen Kanälen und BBC News war ausreichend, um im Urlaub etwas informiert zu bleiben, außerdem lief das Internet stabil."
"Beautiful building with excellent location for everything, and very attentive, polite and helpful staff who made the stay easy and relaxing."

"I loved the local decor and history behind the room I stayed in! Checking in and out was both easy and the breakfast was excellent! They were also kind enough to upgrade my room to a bigger one all on their own!I can't wait to visit again!"
