Scandic No 53

Worked myself in hotels for many years and travelling a lot for leisure and business. Good location and reasonable breakfast buffet. Limited and expensive evening meal options. For same price you have a five star meal in Duvel and other restaurants nearby. Not recommended for European, North American and East Asian traveller guests, even more if you stay seven nights as I did. While it wasn't a problem to opt for a room without windows the room itself for a couple and for so many days is not big enough. It's like a tiny cave space. While I have worked and travelled as well in budget hotels, not good like clarion, ibis budget or other budget brands. The room is not cleaned if not asked for and between the lack of staff during the full week and the typical rudeness of the Nordic staff (I have to be frank on this even if I have Swedish family). The worse so far with Chinese one. Due to long queues in reception left a note to a receptionist asking to clean the room. Did not happen. Reported the day after face to face no empathy no politeness and again no room cleaned only replaced towels. Finally two nights before check out cleaned. No worth a pence that I wasted, very expensive compared for the quality and service. Any one can sell you a room even airbnb. Service is what make worthy to stay in a hotel or another.
