The property was near the theatre district, it was well presented and we were in a refurbished room. Staff were friendly and pleasant, but the breakfast staff were exceptional, can you pass on my thanks to these people.

A really cool hotel. Absolutely loved our 2night stay. Very stylish and welcoming. Gave us a lovely relaxed feeling. Good location to walk to main shopping area & restaurants. We had a rental car but airport shuttle bus stops opposite front door. Staff were super nice especially Leo on front desk. Helpful local advice and on arrival told me where to park on street next to hotel which was free after Fri 4pm and Sat&Sun. Saved me about £70😉
We recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again if in Oslo 🇳🇴
Norway is simply stunning. Best touring holiday we’ve had after 35 years together!!
10/10 from both of us. 😎

Really great staff. Everyone went above and beyon
They originally gave me a street view room but I was worried it would be too noisy. Valentina said she’d get me a quieter room and she did. Blackout curtains and inside garden view on 5 th floor. It was very quiet and spacious. It was a bit cold at night in May so they brought in a space heater. The breakfast was great and had something for everyone We loved the assortment of breads, cereals, meats, salad's fish and cheese. You won’t go hungry

Perfectly adequate
Great location, perfectly adequate three-star hotel if somewhat tired and scuffed in places. For the price, fine, and I stay there often.

Dated rooms but otherwise a great stay
Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms are very dated, narrow beds but room was clean.
Bathrooms were nice and clean, although compact.
Breakfast was very good with everyone catered for and great service.

We booked an economy double but our room was quite large with a balcony. The bathroom was too small. Bathroom door would need to be left open when sitting on the toilet.
Our room was on the street so was very noisy with the trams running until about 1am and starting again at 5am. We got very little sleep.
I asked at reception if it was possible for me to change rooms as I hadn't slept. It was then she told me that we had been upgraded on check in. The very nice receptionist gave me a room to look at on the 5th floor at the back of the hotel.
It was a smaller room but nice size bathroom and very quiet. I was happy. We slept well the 2nd night.
Breakfast in this hotel was lovely. Very nice staff topping up coffee.
Would stay again as long as it was a room to the back of the hotel.

Great location, but not usual Scandic standard.
Great location for central Oslo. Just be aware there are tram lines outside but not too noisy.
Rooms are fantastic in size, but why oh why do you make the bathrooms so small when you have so much room? Shower is crammed into the smallest corner.
As a seasoned travel breakfasts are important. You need a good start to the day. This is where it went wrong. A hot breakfast should be WARM, there were ice cubes in the scrambled eggs, and cold sausages and bacon? Come on it’s not difficult to keep food warm. Major Minus points for that. Please fix that!

Arrived very early to have our luggage held until check in and staff was able to get us checked in anyway. Really appreciated that kind of service. The room was clean and cute although access to the shower was very small, would not work for a heavy person.

Good breakfast
Although the breakfast is tasty and has a large selection (fresh vegetables, fruit...) during the week it only lasts until 9:30 (a little too short) and after that time the lights in the restaurant are turned off and the food is taken away.
The room is tiny, without a kettle or coffee machine. The bathroom is also tiny. My room had windows facing the street and it was very noisy due to the trams. The reception service was very nice, helpful and professional. She provided us with boiling water, so we could store our luggage longer without any problems.

Kulttuurimatkalla Oslossa
Hotelli ja huone olivat siistejä ja viihtyisiä. Raitiovaunutie on hotellin molemmilla puolilla, joten raitiovaunujen äänet häiritsivät lähes koko ajan. Maksullinen pysäköinti oli hankalaa moottoripyörälle. Aamiainen oli runsas ja monipuolinen.
