Overall Ratings & Reviews Scandic Portalen

Nothing out of the ordinary. A reasonably comfy bed for a decent price.

I stay here twice a year and really enjoy the morning buffet and the easy parking when doing events at the Convention Center in town! The location is central and the ease of getting in and out is always a must for me.

Comfort and good service

OK hotel in the absolute middle oc Jönköping city center. Little bit old but OK! Small gym

Nice hotel. I the heart of the city. Able to park on street if you leave by 9:30 am.

Very friendly staff.

The hotel is very central to the town. The parking is about 2 mins walk away, which does not help if you have heavy bags. There is a small gym and sauna which was ok. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was great.

The hotel has a convenient location in the city center, it offers a nice exercise area with locker room and a sauna. The breakfast is excellent with many healthy options presented in a nice environment.

nice lobby environment, great breakfast, modest single rooms - all I needed

Perfect location downtown. Close to restaurants, shopping and bars. Quite rooms with sound proof windows facing the inside court. Great breakfast buffet with lots of choices. Clean room. Access to gym and sauna. Hotel is fairly worn and in a good need of restauration in some places though.

Visited friends in Sweden loved swimming in the lakes.

We booked on last minute so we got a single room with extra bed for two people. This was not nice but ok as we booked late. However, we had to make up the extra bed by ourselves. Not really nice, especially as we arrived late in the evening. Breakfast was a hassle which is, to some extent, undestandable in big and full hotel but still, it was a disappointment. No table to eat and everything finished all the time and no refill coming without long wait. Receptionist did not really speak english which made her also somewhat rude. She did not even try to be nice. Overall, not really a pleasant stay. Would not go again.

Located close to the train station, beach and restaurants. Value for money. Room was comfortable but do note that scandic does not provide a kettle as the water in Sweden is safe to drink from the tap. Swedish breakfast is served every morning

Clean room, good location and excellent breakfast. Quiet although in the centre of the city. Minor issue is few parking spots.

Parking availability for a price. Love all th stuff around.

Room was great but smelly, staff moved me immediately. Great service as far as i am concerned. Everything was nice, will go back.

Nice little hotel, good for a business trip with a nice room, good internet and lounge area. Sometimes it took a really long time to speak to a staff member at the desk when it was busy.

Upon arrival I had to wait for a long time since the staff were busy talking to each other. This hotel is very tired. It needs a renovation. The wood around the door in the bathroom had rotted. The breakfast area was very loud and felt more like a hospital than a hotel. No attempt had been made to create a nice atmosphere. It felt like feeding time. The hotel charged me twice for the room. I had to make an international phone call to tell them to take off the charges. They did not even apologize for the mistake. The social skills of the people at this hotel needs great improvement.

This hotel was outstanding! The service, people, and conditions of the room were excellent. I will be staying here again very soon.

My room was clean and staff were friendly and helpfull
