We liked our room, comfy bed, great bathroom, and the staff were amazing from the first welcome when we walked in the door, to helping us with any inquiries. The complementary breakfast is out of this world, and because we had to leave very early on our last morning, they offered us a boxed breakfast to take away. It was a bag of lovely things that pretty much lasted us all day! Thanks Scandi Grendel!!

Vriendelijke ontvangst aan de receptie en een vlotte check-in zorgden voor een goede start van ons verblijf. We hadden onze auto buiten het centrum geparkeerd en twee fietsen mee, die we veilig in de kelder mochten plaatsen – erg handig! De kamer was compact en de badkamer aan de kleine kant, maar voor een citytrip zeker voldoende. Alles was netjes en functioneel ingericht. Het ontbijt was lekker en voldoende uitgebreid, met regelmatige aanvulling. De ontbijtruimte is wat aan de kleine kant, dus wie iets vroeger gaat, kan in alle rust genieten. De locatie is uitstekend – centraal gelegen, waardoor we tijdens onze wandelingen makkelijk even konden terugkeren naar de kamer. Rondfietsen in de stad bleek wat minder praktisch: er zijn weinig fietspaden, al is het verkeer vrij rustig. Oslo verken je beter te voet.
