Poor
There is no wi fi. There is a TV in the room but it does not work. Why is it there? There was someone’s garbage (tampon and q tips) left in the toilet bin when we checked in. The place was not cleaned thoroughly. The showerhead was messed up, it just spewed water at you. Again, no wifi in the rooms. In one of the hallways it smelled like sewage. The building is pretty decrepit itself from the outside and needs to be torn down. Not suitable for a even a hostel. Nobody at the bar when check in supposedly is, at 5pm. I had to go to a neighbouring hotel and ask to call the hostel as I did not have cell service for someone to come to the next door bar where check in is supposed to be. There is no reception except the bar next door that doubled as reception but they do not seem to know much about the hotel or the surrounding area. The toilet flusher button was a nail in the wall that you had to push to flush, there was no button. If you need anything extra you have to call a specific phone number and as I did not have cell service this meant that I could not request anything. Like I said, this place needs to be torn down as it is not suitable for even a hostel. The photo of the hostel on the website is not the building that the rooms are in. The rooms are in the white building adjacent, with the paint coming off, next to the Victoria hotel. Do not be fooled by the false advertisement. The photo of the red brick building is the top of the bar where the check in is, not the hostel.

You get what you pay for - to an extent, with this one. Cheap room in a superb location. Relatively clean but facilities are befitting the price - poor decor, cracked and loose bathroom floor tiles, a travesty of a zip tied shower, poor room ventilation and a general condition of something you'd expect for the lowest local price. Set your expectations low, then go lower. If you need a place to crash - perfect. If you need functional facilities and a pleasant environment go elsewhere.

When we arrived nodoby was there and the option was to make a phone call if you do not have roaming (I came from Argentina) because the cost of having activated the cell phone is so expensive is a complication Being said that, the floor was dirty, the floor of the room the same, Take a shower was so difficult because the whole floor was flooded HORRIBLE

Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning. A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance. Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help. I don’t recommend this place.

Only for sleeping
Upon arrival the room was not clean. The whole place is crying for a renovation. The location is perfect and the bed is comfortable. Mold in the bathroom, ventilation is unefficient.

Great location
The location is great, everything is within walking distance including the airport shuttle bus stops. The room was fine, bed were comfy. However the bathroom needs some love. The sink tap was lose, the floor moves underfoot and the shower does its own thing. The radiator in the bedroom was hanging off. We never saw anyone else, when we checked in we rang a number on the door, they gave us the key safe number and we let ourselves in. The bar downstairs we found to be quiet, maybe in summer it gets busy and noisy but it never bothered us. For a short stay this hotel is fine.

Central and great value for money!
The Skansen Hotel is a bit worn down. However it's clean and quite OK. I stayed Mon-Wed and had no trouble with noise as many other gusts have observed. Taken into account the price and location. I would rate this a great value for money stay in a ok rom :-)

Lack of sleep due to lots of Noise from below Pub
Room is clean and no lift to reach room. And also Hotel is attached to the Pub in the ground floor, so lots of Music and Noise till 1AM. Its difficult to sleep till that time. I am not sure on other days. The only good part is Room is near to city center.

Disappointing hotel stay but a good price
Clear enough, this is a budget hotel, considering the price & location. Nevertheless, I have never been in a hotel that was this loud in my entire life. More like a Hostel with a private room/bathroom. Clean, with a small, single bed and a low budget bathroom. Everything would've been acceptable considering the price; however, the noise made this place terrible. On the bottom floor of the building there is an attached "bar" which is actually where you check in. Do NOT stay here if you want to go to bed before 3 or 4 in the morning. I am one that falls asleep very easily, but the "bar" on the ground floor is more like an incredibly loud club, with super heavy bass you can feel in your bed, and loud people you can hear through the windows (even from the third floor). If you need to get some rest,find another place. If you're looking to party all night in a good location for a very reasonable price, this might be the place for you.
