Scandic Waskia

Scandic Waskia is big and has a lot of well-appointed guest rooms as well as updated meetings rooms. It is very comfortable. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is great. The list of outdoor activities on the grounds are numerous. The location is right next to a water park. Downtown Vaasa is close by with many restaurants. However, of all things, most of all Scandic Wasika is clean. I do mean it is actually “clean”. Not “we run the vacuum over the carpet everyday just because” clean. It is - “I take my job responsibilities quite seriously” clean. At first, it may not seem so based on first impressions at arrival being that the facilities and the décor are looking a little dated these days but upon closer inspection, one can see that the hotel has been well cared for. Do not be fooled. Moreover, it is currently undergoing a much-needed renovation. The simple fact is we enjoyed our stay here. Once the renovation is complete, this place will again be a true jewel. It deserves a visit. We will be back. In addition, the oversized Roomba-style robot gardener is very cool.

The chicken bocatini was the best pasta I've had in years. 95% of employees spoke Swedish, and had no problems with my Norway-affected Swedish. Access to a microwave in the lobby (albeit an old one). Decently silent rooms (Enough so to give me my first-ever full night's hotel sleep, twice). 17 TV channels. Free Wi-Fi. Breakfast buffet has Nugatti. 5min away from downtown on manual kickscooter, 10min to train station, and 25min to the Kivihaka shopping district.

Excellent breakfast, a lot of choice and a lot of space in the restaurant (not over crowded)

The breakfast was great!

The hotel was comfortable and elegant. Staff were very helpful and the beds were delightfully splendid.
