Good location in the town, decorations are a little tacky but I like how you can chosse to have warm or cold lighting in your room. No kitchenette sucks but at least theirs a microwave in the lobby and a tv. I like how theirs a place to keep your luggage if u checkout but dont want to drag it everywhere, they also offer car rental :)
Scandia House is a cute hotel in the town of Petersburg, population about 3,200. There are not a lot of lodging options but no need to look further if you want a hotel. Rooms were clean and the front desk staff were very helpful. I would have liked to stay longer! The entire town is pretty much walkable from this location. They drove us to the airport for our flight. The king-size beds were great! Petersburg is basically an American fishing village whose entire economy revolves around the water and fishing.
Nice clean room. Nice bathroom and very good shower. The rooms DO NOT have fridge or microwave. There is no continental breakfast, just coffee orange juice and muffins in the coffee runs out fast.
They shuttled us from airport and to our boat. Yummy homemade muffins w coffee in the morning. Very helpful staff and great food right next door. Petersburg is a gem.
They do a good job here and are always willing to help however they can. The muffins are awesome and they have a free airport shuttle. Some rooms have very little basics but others have a mini kitchen...you just have to ask ahead of time.
My company has me travel here nearly every other week for work and we always stay at the the Scandia. I travel all over SEAK, but I can safely say the customer service here is genuinely second to none, consistently. Tonight, I was reminded to finally write the review! Andrea at the front desk kindly offered to set me up with a fan to dry my only pair of shoes after they got soaked outside. It was a small gesture, but it meant so much after a long day of work and travel. She, Juno, and Abi are genuinely some of the nicest people I’ve ever met! If I had one critique, it would be to have larger cups for the coffee in the lobby. It’s so good, I always drink it way too fast
I travel a lot for work and this is one of the nicest non-chain hotels I have ever stayed at. Friendly staff, clean rooms, quiet atmosphere, there is nothing else to ask for. I’ll book here again!
Such a great place on the island. Rooms are basic, but very clean, super well cared for. The staff is wonderful, they were so kind and accommodating when I visited with my elderly mother. They put us in a larger room, by the elevator, beds were super Comfy. Right on the Main Street to walk to stores, restaurants, and bars. We met the owner who communicated with me in advance and stopped by just to say hi when we arrived! Again great hospitality, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Petersburg!!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
