Villa Foresta

Review for the brunch at the Lilla Verandan restaurant only. Very poor service and poor quality food. We waited 5 minutes at the entrance to confirm a booking, multiple staff members walked past without saying a word. Eventually had to ask if we should just take an empty table, it was not busy and yet nobody came to ask about drinks or even mention what was offered. There was no menu or information indicating what the meals were and the chef was disinterested at best and actually seemed unsure of what he had cooked. The food is essentially just leftovers from the hotel breakfast (bread, cheeses, fruit slices and small cakes) which were fine enough, plus a very small selection of poor quality warm dishes (one of two vegetarian options was soggy gnocchi, plain tomato sauce and salt...). Not even close to worth the 395kr per person, which does not even include coffee/tea/juice; a single coffee was an extra 40kr. It's a shame as the hotel bar area and lounge are both nice.

Nicest Scandic hotel I’ve been to! Beautiful location, nice bar terrace outside, friendly staff. Room was small & basic but clean +comfy bed. Also good breakfast with an amazing view on the upper floor. Also, we were able to change our breakfast for the day of our arrival, since we could not have it the next day ’cause our ship left so early.

Hotel was just ok but very worn. Smoking below hotel windows. Warning to all: parking is not free and can be fined even if you pay. Only small paper from reception helps. Do not expect any help from reception or scandic in case youre fined even though you paid and not been told to put up the paper in car. Aimo Park will ticket you - so you pay for parking and for being fined. Very very bad experience - will not come back

Beautiful view. Easy to get to Stockholm city with public transportation. Great service and personnel. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast with everything you can hope for. Parking garage available. Walking distance to Milles Museum.

A very nice hotel in a fantastic location with a fantastic view over Stockholm’s skyline. Not least during the night. Lidingö is also a very nice part of Stockholm with a small town feeling almost in the middle of a big city.

Our recent stay at Scandic Foresta was nothing short of a terrible experience. From the moment we stepped into our room, we were greeted with a stifling heat that made it nearly impossible to sleep. There was no thermostat and the windows open so slightly that the temperature remained a scorching 35 degrees, rendering the room unlivable. The staff did change our room to a cooler one however, the room was not ready for guests and we had to improvise with the sheets. One of the basic expectations we have from a hotel is cleanliness, but even that was sorely lacking during our stay. To our dismay, the room was not cleaned the following day. We were astounded by this oversight, as there was no information provided that we needed to make an active choice to have it cleaned. It felt as though we were staying at an Airbnb rather than a professional hotel. Sleeping in an unbearably hot room and waking up to a dirty environment greatly impacted our overall experience at Scandic Foresta. We had hoped for a relaxing and enjoyable stay, but unfortunately, our expectations were not met. Considering the reputation and price of Scandic Foresta, we were deeply disappointed by the lack of attention to detail and the subpar service we received during our stay. We believe that as guests, we should not have to constantly remind the hotel staff of basic needs such as a clean room and a comfortable temperature. It is our sincere hope that Scandic Foresta takes our feedback seriously and improves the quality of their services. We urge them to pay closer attention to the needs and expectations of their guests, ensuring that future visitors have a more pleasant and hassle-free experience. Based on our stay, we cannot recommend Scandic Foresta. It failed to meet even the most basic standards of a hotel, and we left feeling disappointed and dissatisfied
