Scandic Hotels Oslo hotels

"If you are not expecting the Ritz but want affordable, clean and comfortable accommodation this fits the bill. Right in the heart of the city, with two excellent restaurants attached, it suited us perfectly. The staff were helpful (particularly when the automated check-in wanted to charge us again - our only grumble!). Comfort, not luxury, and not too many frills but absolutely adequate, and we would certainly return."

"Hotel is well located within easy walking distance of plenty of shops, bars, restaurants etc The room was a bit more compact that expected, although it was the size listed on this website (14sqm) the photos of rooms have a different layout to the room we got which made them look more spacious, eg we had to walk sideways to get into the far side of the bed as there was approx 1ft of space around the bed - this also left a bit of a quandary where to leave our suitcase as there wasn't really any storage space for clothes. I also had a mild panic when on the toilet as I couldn't see any toilet roll - the toilet roll holder was bizarrely UNDER the sink. However the shower was fantastic and the room was clean and quiet and good temperature. Not sure what was going on with the bed, but the bedsheet was not much larger than the mattress topper (approx 2" deep, where as you'd normally expect a bed sheet to fit around a standard entire mattress?) which meant every morning it had come loose which was mildly annoying. The TV had a mix of Norwegian and Swedish TV channels some of which showed English language programs, but it did not seem possible to cast your phone to the TV. There was a good amount of plug sockets in the room. Worth noting (i feel, as I've never encountered a lock system like this), that when you leave the room it does not lock automatically, you have to push the handle up then hold your keycard to the door to lock it, we did self check-in so unaware of this quirk."

"Room was very tiny. No closet. Only a metal rack."

"Clean. Quiet. Expensive airport shuttle $16 round trip. Limited dining options. "

"Clean room, comfy beds, nice staff and great location "

"Rooms ok. Public areas adequate. Tram stop across the road from main entrance was great and so convenient. "

"Spotlessly clean room, great shower. Staff were friendly and efficient. We were checked in and had room keys 60 seconds from walking in the door. Great breakfast with tons of choice. Will definitely stay here again when back in Oslo. "

"Great hotel, excellent location, fantastic breakfast options, luggage storage, nice lobby area with bar to wile away an hour or so before heading off to the train."

"Lovely hotel in a fantastic location, the staff were great and the room was clean and comfortable. There was some construction work nearby but the staff made us aware and offered to change us to a quieter room which we declined as we were out during the day anyway."
