Scandic Malmö City

Family rooms are of decent size for a hotel, with a large bed and an extensible sofa. There is also a small kitchen area that can be used if needed. Parking in the area is possible both on the streets, or in the hotel garage or the parking garage on the other side of the street (we recommend the street parking if you find a place over night). The area is full of restaurants and shops and it is also not far (15 mins walk) to the main train station. The breakfast is rich, with lots of choice, albeit no variation. You have to book a time slot, but I think it is more for the hotel to organise than anything else, no one is asking about that when going to the breakfast area. City bikes can be obtained from the hotel for getting around and they seem to be free for guests. There is also a nice fitness area. If you need cleaning during the stay, it has to be booked the day before, but it is very easy.

Room was good size for a family of four, two adults and two toddlers. Had a nice kitchen, good size bathroom with shower, had basic amenities like shower gel that included shampoo. TV had good number of channels, view was not much but then again we intended only to use the room to sleep so didn't really mind. We didn't use the kitchen much as we ate out but looked like it had a good set of amenities available in case we wanted to cook (pots, pans, cutlery, etc) and two tables, one to sit down and eat and another one for one individual to sit down and write at. The breakfast buffet was extensive and quite large, had everything from pancakes, porridge, yoghurt, croissants (minis), bread, charcuterie, cheese, fruit, vegetables, coffees and teas. It was good but not the best breakfast we've had. The breakfast is served on the second floor and on the first floor is a small play area for children that has come cushions, books, soft animals and a tent to play in. Our kids enjoyed it.

First of all, I am very surprised because I booked a budget room without windows and they put me in one with windows facing outside on the third floor for the same price. The room was wonderful. Very spacious, bright, large and comfortable bed. Bathroom was also very spacious and clean. Overall, I really liked the hotel facilities. I thought the breakfast was amazing. There was everything: fruit, pastries, toast, cold cuts,... And the staff was very friendly. In addition, the hotel is very central and you can walk everywhere except, as was my case, to go to the distant Malmö Arena to go to the Melodifestivalen.

We loved our stay at the Scandic Malmö City. Once we managed to find it (at 1am after a late flight, and in hurricane force sleet!) we were helped by the man on reception who made sure we had a few snacks and also helped us with the lift. For the whole stay, all the staff were exceptional, and the staff in the breakfast room did a brilliant job keeping everyone fed. The location was perfect, right in the centre close to both train stations and next to lovely shopping streets and the old town. The room itself was great for me and my children, and we had everything we needed. We also made use of the gym each evening which was nice and quiet. I would recommend the hotel for a family stay, especially seeing all the families in the breakfast room on a morning, others had the same view. I would definitely come back if I was lucky enough to visit Malmö again one day.

Location was excellent. 900m walk from central train station. Close to supermarket and plenty of places nearby to eat. The breakfast was fantastic with plenty of gluten free options available. You can get gluten free pancakes on request and they are super delicious! The chefs and kitchen staff are so accommodating and so friendly. The reception staff are friendly and super helpful, nothing was a problem at all. Room sizes are great with great views of the river. Highly recommend this hotel.
