Scandic Vulkan Oslo is awesome

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, convenient to sites and public transport. It was a great walking area, an interesting and safe place next to lots of restaurants and shopping. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful! A great stay.

the area was quiet and everyone was so nice and helped me out when I needed it. I was there for about a week and I enjoyed it a lot. They have food options around which is at the bottom of the steps near the hotel that was nice. Everything was cleaned correctly when needed as well.

We had a good stay at the Vulkan although the room was looking a little “tired” round the edges. For a hotel that would be used by a lot of tourists, they had a strangely early breakfast time during the week - finishing at 0930! Location is excellent however with easy walking distance to Grunerlokka for great bars/restaurants and even into Oslo city centre along the Akerselva river.

The hotel was as expected beside the fact that our room was facing the street where road repairs started at 11 pm. When reported to the front desk they apologized but refused to transfer to another room .

Nice hotel and breakfast but the floors in the room was not cleaned at all during our 4 days or before arrival. Nasty to be barefoot. Did not get clean towels replaced even though they wanted the dirty ones on the floor. Super hot in the room. 25 C outside and we could not change the temperature, no fan, could only open the window a tiny bit since the room was high up in the building.

Terningkast 5

Helt greit hotell, veldig hyggelig ansatte i spisesalen og i resepsjonen, innsjekkingen gikk i rekodfart. Fint rom og god seng så man sover godt, rent på rommet og på badet. Kanskje litt lite utvalg til frokosten men med nystekte egg og bacon så er det lett å gi tilgivelse. Kommer gjerne igjen neste gang jeg skal ha en Oslo helg
