Scandic Olympic Esbjerg

Typical Scandic hotel on the edge of the city center. Everything was within easy walking distance from here. Friendly staff and the room had a view of the harbor.

Our stay at the Scandic Olympic was okay overall. The room was clean and stylish, the bed was comfortable, but unfortunately, there was a sewage smell in the room in the evening. It's not something that should result in a negative review, but it wasn't pleasant either. Breakfast, on the other hand, was very good. Please keep it that way; the staff were also incredibly friendly. For a short trip, it's definitely recommended, but please look into the sewage issue, as we mentioned it at check-out and the staff member told us it was a known problem. Perhaps something should be done about it. ;) :) If we come back to Esbjerg, we would definitely stay with you again.

Good hotel with friendly staff. Free parking is a bit tight, but there is a garage if you want to pay.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Unfortunately I had to wait 20 minutes to be able to check-in due to a line at the counter which was a first for me. The room was nice with a comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was very nice with even "cut your own fresh herbs"

It could have been perfect, but I had these downsides: 1. The room smelled like sewage. The shower drain emitted a foul odor. Filling it with water only helped for a few minutes. 2. The coffee machine shriveled the pods and only dispensed water. 3. Breakfast is served until 9:00 on weekdays. I find that too early. The breakfast is excellent. The dinner there is good. Tip: there is an outstanding Italian restaurant in the shopping street behind the hotel. Apart from those sewage problems, the room has excellent climate control.

Good food, pleasant atmosphere, close to shops and restaurants.

Good service. Good breakfast. Well located in relation to the harbor.

Nice and clean room, good service and great breakfast bufe

I have been to Esbjerg on business trips several times. I have stayed in almost all other options within the vicinity. For me, though, Scandic Olympic works best and here's why. The hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood between the harbour and the centre withing walking distance to both. There is a charging station (Type 2) right across from the hotel where free parking is also possible. The check-in procedure is smooth; staff members are professional and friendly. One may consider the rooms a bit on the small scale, but I think the way they are set up works well. Some bathrooms are a little small, especially the wash basins, but hey, I can live with that. The rooms are air-conditioned and have windows for fresh air (only to be used when AC is set to very low). The duvets are not too hot (as is the case with the competition); the pillows are comfortable offering good support. The very strong point goes to the breakfast. The breakfast area is very nicely set up, with dimmed lights and discreet music playing (not blasting) in the background. The breakfast offered is exactly what one would expect in such establishment: The breads are all of very good quality, the rolls are delicious and there is lots of Swedish crispbread offered as well. Both coffee machines produce excellent java. All in all, I can highly recommend Scandic Olympic for a relaxing stay with a good-night sleep.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to use the accommodation booked at the Scandic Olympic Hotel. Despite numerous requests a week in advance, the hotel manager refused to cancel the reservation and refund the money. UPDATE: I finally managed to partially enjoy my stay, so I'm posting an update of my opinion)
