I had a great stay for 3 nights in an Economy Double Room. The breakfast was amazing! Super complete and included in the price. The room was clean, and everything worked as expected. Plus, the location made it easy to walk to all the best spots!...

dirty tables

small rooms

absolutely indicative of this hotel’s lack of standards, my room was on the second floor facing a busy street, which felt a bit too exposeed, especially in the shower! and the breakfast, well, it was generous to say the least, but served in the basement with sticky tables, i just couldn’t give a good review!

The complimentary use of bicycles made exploring Oslo's beautiful surroundings incredibly enjoyable.

The breakfast area was overcrowded and tables often remained dirty, impacting the overall dining experience.

I had a decent stay at Scandic in Oslo. Breakfast spread impressed me with lots of choices! The location made it super convenient to check out nearby attractions. However, my room felt quite cramped, making it tough to maneuver around my luggage.

delicious breakfast

cramped room

broken toiletries

noticeable noise

The location is fantastic, just steps away from attractions and transportation. The breakfast stood out, offering a large variety of delicious choices, including grilled cheese. However, the room was quite cramped, making it challenging to navigate while unpacking. Some toiletries were broken, and soundproofing could be improved, as some street noise was noticeable at times.

Incredible Breakfast and Great Location

I had a wonderful stay with an amazing breakfast spread that included a variety of delicious options to start the day right. The location is fantastic, just a block away from the main pedestrian area, making it easy to explore the city. My room was clean and comfortable, offering a lovely view over the city. However, the room could've been more spacious for unpacking my luggage.
