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.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. The property was very nice including the lobby and breakfast area. The gym was perfect for a simple workout. Our room was small but I’m sure you can pay more for a bigger room! Our electricity breaker kept going. They offered to move us but we only had a day left so we just stuck it out. Loved the area. Right on the river which made for a great walk in the morning. Definitely would recommend!

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.

The local area was a treat to explore; the river meandered into the city one way and the traditional houses allowed an alternative walk into the city. The bedrooms were basic and could benefit from a security box and tea making facilities. The mattresses were extremely soft.

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

Veldig bra! Ble møtt av effektive og hyggelige ansatte😊 Men toalett løsningen var ikke optimal. Dårlig trykk i dusjen, merkelig dør til dusjen (ble vann på mye av gulvet) samt mislikte skyvedør til badet. Ellers var rommet utmerket. Gode senger! Burde vært bedre skiltet til frokostsalen
