We were impressed with the location, it’s on the tramline and really convenient to get all over the city. The team went past the window and could be heard from the room but we really enjoyed the sound of it.

Easy to find and a great location. Only challenge for us are the trams, we live in the countryside at home, but we did get used to it.
Staff could not be better and the breakfasts as are good as you’d get anywhere at this price.
If we return to Oslo we’d definitely stay here again.

The staff were quite nice. It was pretty hot for our two day stay so we were happy for the fan they provided. We appreciated that the room was spacious unlike the hotel rooms we stated at in other Nordic/Scandinavian countries. The Breakfast buffet was really good; excellent variety, healthy, and delicious. It was walking distance to shops, key attractions, and public transit. It was convenient that a train stops right outside the hotel, however on my last night it was too noisy for me and prevented me from getting a proper nights sleep. If I’m ever in Oslo again, I would definitely stay here!

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.

Good location, clean and quiet.
My bar fridge in the room I booked did not work. When I asked reception to change the fridge they gave me a new room which was an upgrade to a suite. Am very grateful.

Very well decorated, cozy hotel with music background, calm atmosphere, hypo allergic carpets, I would recommend the hotel. I did not like the heating was not working even after turning it on so I asked for a electric heating which they gave right away but a bit small for the room I would fell cold there during the winter months.

Great place to stay near good transportation hotspots. You can easily walk to downtown and even the sea side. The place is super quiet and well isolated, I had great sleep. The breakfast are amazing for the price of the hotel.

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.

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!
