Scandic Grand Marina generally impresses with its excellent breakfast buffet, with a great variety of choices. Its location is fantastic, especially convenient for Viking Line travelers and those wanting to explore the harbor area and nearby attractions; some guests find it easy to walk to the market square from here. The rooms are spacious and clean, though a few guests have noted that some rooms show signs of needing refurbishment. You can also enjoy the sauna and utilize the free bikes.

a decent stay near the harbor

harbor locationlarge breakfastnice saunamissed cleaningunchecked minibarsunday closure
the location was really good and near the water. it was minutes from an outdoor market. the breakfast buffet had a large selection and was good, though the crowds were noticeable. i enjoyed using the sauna.
My room wasn't cleaned one day, so i ran out of toilet roll at night. the minibar wasn't checked . This was quite inconvenient. i also found it odd that everything was closed on sunday, even with many guests around.
