The location of the property was really great - we could walk to everything we wanted to see. Unfortunately we had to park a few blocks away from the hotel but that was really the only downside. The room was very spacious and the front desk staff was very nice and helpful.

Great hotel. Right near so many restaurants, stores, markets, and bowling. The hotel’s breakfast buffet was absolutely amazing. My husband is a vegetarian and they had fruit, vegetables, tons of varieties of granola and breads. It was the perfect start to our day!

Amazing!
A completely lovely stay in every way! The rooms are beautiful, and sparkling clean. The hotel feels luxurious and the staff is so super friendly and helpful in every way. The breakfast was absolutely amazing and the hostesses a wonder of kindness and service. We are so happy with our stay and can’t praise it enough.

Fint hotell og hyggelig betjening.
Men litt skuffet over at vi ikke ble informert om at hotellbaren er stengt i juli.

Parking was full so despite being disabled we had to unload at the door and park offsite at extra cost. Pet rooms weren’t available but we were given a room on the top floor. We had a small balcony so were able to leave that open to keep room cool. We had a fridge, good beds and pillows.

Summer at Scandic City Hotel
We were comfortable during our stay at Scandic City Hotel in Fredrikstad. The hotel was clean. Our room was large enough. Clean sheets and towels. And we were provided with a small refrigerator to store our food/drinks. This is a plus! However, parking located around 300 meters from the hotel was quiet expensive.

Friendly staff, good location however quite a lot of street noice when we get a room toward Nygaten. Room was quite small and it was difficult to get around the bed to the one side (30cm) . But the reason for relatively poor rating was that the bathroom was extremely small. It was not possible for s person of normal height to sit straight at the toilet. Very good breakfast though

Varmretter på frokosten var nærmest kalde. Dette burde lett å gjøre noe med siden de fleste andre fikser det. Det var også generelt litt lite å velge mellom

Kjøleskap virket ikke. Var også pågående utvendig restaurering under oppholdet, så noe bråk. Hyggelig personale. Fine rom, men litt irriterende å måtte rette på lakenet 79 ganger gjennom natten😆
