Scandic Vadsø

- Bathroom Issues: The bathrooms in our rooms were poorly designed. Using the shower flooded the floors as there were no drains, and we had to use towels to soak up the water. - Rude Staff: The receptionist on our departure morning was rude and unfriendly. After paying a fairly high price for one night, we expected at least basic courtesy. Additionally, the voucher we received upon arrival was only valid for full-priced items in the fridge and not for the snacks next to it. We were not informed about these restrictions beforehand. In addition, we did not face such restrictions at another Scandic hotel a few days earlier. However, none of this would matter at all, had the receptionist been friendly. - Teen Room Issue: We were denied a teen room because it supposedly requires two adjacent rooms with a connecting door. We have stayed at numerous Scandic hotels over the years, and a teen room has always been possible without needing two adjacent rooms with a connecting door. Overall, the stay did not meet our expectations based on previous experiences with Scandic hotels.

The hotel rooms were clean and functional, the staff at the reception and in the breakfast room were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of choices and good quality of the food. Parking is sufficiently available at the hotel, at no charge.

One good example that the "Scandic friends" loyalty program still works. We got upgraded the room, which is not common in Scandic hotels the last years (for instance Sandefjord, Kirkenes), so a nice surprise in this hotel. Value for money when low prices; they differ (too much) depending on demand.

The rooms were very cold! Both me and my coworker had trouble sleeping the first night because of it. I got some sort og oven in the room the second day, and it got better. It is also far from soundproof between the rooms. I could hear my neighbour snore, and my coworker could hear me talk on the phone one evening.

The hotel is located in city, and with all the facilities close. The staff is very helpful, and very service minded. There is free parking right outside the door. I will recomand this Scandic Hotel in Vadsø.

This hotel needs refurbishment and is perhaps characterized by little competition. I have stayed here many times and never had a bad stay, but also none excellent. Service-minded employees have lifted our stay. Give the blonde girl at the front desk a salary increase. She has helped us many times with precision, dedication and kindness.
