Scandic Gävle Väst

I liked the price, as a motorcyclist in rainy Sweden I liked that they had undercover parking available as we had a lot of rain when I was there and its quiet rural location was a better option than parking a motorcycle in a public area in the city centre.

I was disappointed when I arrived 2 hours early to find that they could not accommodate an early check in (I had advised the time in advance and they said they would if possible accommodate it), on arrival I was told that I could not check in till 16:00 (there is no option of an early check in surcharge). So I waited in my motorcycle leathers in reception and bags at reception. Then at 15:45 another couple came in and they could check in, so I did and to be honest I do not believe anything was done to my room that it could not have been released earlier. Be warned that because this is a popular hotel for families and youth sport clubs, so be warned that if you are planning an early start you will be kept awake until after 22:00 hrs with children running up and down and playing in the corridors.

Standard conference hotel

ok

Nice location near the nature

Getting crowded at the entrance

Good facilities

Way overpriced room, food and drink. Shower was not very clean and both the food and drink was very expensive. 97SEK for 50cl of standard chezh pils is just silly.
