Moment Hotels
Very good location, close to the train station. The room was ver small as was the bed. The bed was very uncomfortable because it has no support. The room was warm, even though it was 12 degrees outside and there’s no A/C. The breakfast was good and the area was very clean

Scandic St Jörgen
Radisson Blu Hotel, Malmö
Convenient location. Spacious room. Staff and service were excellent!!! Everyone I encountered were amazing and very helpful. However, the room was very outdated, had multiple gross stains on carpet that looked like dog’s urine (corners near bed, tale legs etc), multiple silverfish bugs were living ...
