The hotel was very well located to take the highway bus from TORP airport and a tram or marina walk to central Oslo. The hotel was clean and rooms well maintained. The area around the hotel had enough eating options and there was a nice food market and pizza option.
We had a room in the adjoining building, which was near to the motorway, so there was some noise.
Would definitely rate the variety of breakfast options included in price.

You Must Stay in this hotel
This hotel is superb! I would place it at the very high end of a 3 star hotel! To be honest I’m not sure why this is not a 4 star hotel. It’s was better than some of the 4 and 5 star hotels 🏨 I’ve stayed in e.g. the Sheraton Turkey. The breakfast is beyond excellent and it’s FREE! It’s 5min walk from a train line and the hotel is surrounded by a few cafes and convenience stores.

Is this what Scandic is these days
Reception staff reluctant to deal with guests. Room not cleaned at all (despite confirming we wanted cleaning).
On the other yand, wonderful breakfast buffet with nice staff.
