The hotel is modern and laid out very well. The rooms are clean and very quiet with thick double glazing. The room was warm too which was good as cold outside. We didn’t like the ‘separate duvets’ on the double bed but apparently this is a Norwegian thing. Not having any wardrobe or drawers was odd but luckily only a few days so kept things in the suitcase or on the small space for hangers. Breakfast was wonderful, highly recommended.

A great hotel in Oslo. Walkable from city centre, maybe 15/20 minutes from Oslo S station. Great area with loads of bars/restaurants/shops and a nice park. Hotel was clean, modern, and staff were friendly & helpful. Breakfast was amazingly good. Only downside was poor Wi-Fi quality in hotel. Seems to be an issue in all Scandic hotels I stay in. Would have been 5 star review if Wi-Fi wasn’t so poor

Great Scandic tradition

Scandic is a great hotel chain and this one was no different. Friendly, multi lingual check-in. Free coffee. Even gave us a room a couple of hours early.

We had such an amazing stay here. The breakfast is amazing, our room was very clean. It’s about a 20min walk to the centre. The only con is that the room could not be colder than 22 degrees Celsius - you should be able to adjust the temperature in your hotel room within a range. Our other scandic in Sweden allowed you to go to 18 degrees.
