We were upgraded to Scandic Havet as Scandic Bodo is being refurbished. Great view from the 12th floor of the harbour, great breakfast, within walking distance of most things. Highly recommend.

Front desk staff friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast spread in the morning. But room was very small, we looked into an office building about 20ft from us, and the hotel seemed "tired," in need of an update and refresh. The area around the hotel was fine, safe, but not especially pretty since we were so close to the water.

Good breakfast and dirty windows
The Hotel was in general quite good. Room was a bit small and there was no fridge available. Also no desk/work table. But they made up for it by a quite good breakfast; and an extra star for the breakfast leftover snacks that were left in the reception area during the day.
It doesnt get full score because the windows were very dirty. It let through light so I could see if it was day or night outside, but otherwise not possible to see much was going out outside on the street.
