    I am very happy with my stay at Scandic Julia. My room was quiet, with a very comfortable bed, perfect for relaxing after a long day. I visited the hotel sauna and I was very satisfied with the complimentary breakfast. I would gladly return.

    I had special requests and they filled them all. Staff was very friendly and the room was nice with the view I asked for. Parking was easy and it was easy to explore the city from the hotel. Nothing bad to say!
