Excellent stay with toddler

As a couple with an 18 month old toddler we had a fantastic stay at the Scandic Oslo City. It’s in such a great location, convenient for the train station (easy train from the airport) , walking to points of interest and public transport - the tram is so easy! We requested a cot when booking and it was ready in our room upon arrival. Our room was much bigger than expected and this made our 3 day stay very comfortable. The fridge was ideal for storing milk and fruit for our little one and having the ability to screencast on the TV was also great. The breakfast was excellent with lots of options. We would definitely stay again when visiting Oslo.

Right next to train station and shops

One night stay before trip north to Arctic. Met friends. Room was small but had amenities. Definitely pricey, but so is Oslo!

Worked great for a business trip n

My first room was on the 5th floor and it was very warm. I was moved to a room on 3rd floor and a major difference. Comfortable temps. Slightly smaller but worth the trade off. Staff is very friendly. Great breakfast spread and hotel is super convenient to transport.

Kjell, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent place to stay for our few days in Oslo. Just steps from the train station and a main stop for trams and busses. The staff were friendly & helpful, the place was clean and the breakfast was a great way to start the day. Found the room to be small, but that might just be the case in central Oslo. The room was also warm and the only way to cool it off was to open the window. Given the hotel’s central location, it was loud on a Saturday night, with the window open. When closed, no real noise problems. Would definitely stay here again.
Richard, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay very much, loved the staff (very helpful), breakfast excellent. We had one major issue. Being from Texas we needed a street window for cooler breeze (which we loved), but, at night too many extremely loud, drunk people from late at night till 4-5am in the morning. It was impossible to get a good night's sleep. Next time I would ask for an inside room and hopefully the hotel could provide a fan (for airflow/circulation)

Alfredo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome place to stay, either for work or leisure!! Room is super clean and in great condition, daily breakfast is really great! Big variety and cleanly presented with quality ingredients. A special mention of the staffs working in the front desk, they can’t be more friendly and helpful! This lady, sorry didn’t catch her name, was working hard to try to get a stuffed animal out of safe that my son accidentally knocked the power out of, when she failed to do so on her attempt while we were still there, she was so kind to promise my son she would send it back to him. I know there are a lot of other staff members who were also involved in the “rescue” of the soft toy for the child, I just wanted to say how much we appreciate you all and the wonderful time we had over our 4 days stay with Scandic Oslo City! Highly recommended!
Chin, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The best part of the hotel was its location. It is located next to the train station permitting easy transportation almost anywhere. The staff was polite and helpful. The biggest downside of this hotel is potentially very long and confusing walks to your room. We wondered down partially lit hallways with multiple turns trying to find our room. Once we got there the room was clean and functional. The included breakfast had a wide variety of tasty options. The area around the hotel was busy, but seemed safe. There was not excessive noise from the street. Near the hotel there was an abundance of shopping and eating options.
Mark, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel was not air conditioned and was oppressively hot. The hallways smaller stale and smelled like a barn: The hotel lacked proper ventilation. The windows in the room were not operable. We were asked if we wanted our room cleaned at check in and we said we wanted it cleaned daily. They didn’t clean the room even once. The room was extremely small and felt claustrophobic . However the staff was friendly and the breakfast was really good. The location was extremely convenient.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were friendly amd helpful. The room was great, extra spacious and clean. Location was conveniently located across from the train station downtown. That being said, that comes with outside noise and we had two uncomfortable interactions with some unhoused individuals. The last night we were there a non profit had set up outside the hotel with sleeping bags and other items for the unhoused. Next time , I would stay at one of their hotels further outside of downtown town for a quieter experience. Overall the hotel itself and staff were wonderful.

Unbelievable service!

Very nice, judging from the condition, very recently renovated rooms. Room was not that big, but as I was traveling alone, it had all the space that I needed. Breakfast was very good, with very friendly staff, that could very well read when you were in the mood for discussion and when not. They could even recognize Finnish language and we had very nice talks in that regard. However, the thing that I appreciated the most, and which is something that I have never seen in any hotels that I have stayed in around the world (200+), was the speed that I got a response that I received for an email sent a few days after the say. I forgot to ask for the invoice when checking out, and sent an email to the hotel at 11PM Norwegian time. Less than four minutes after sending the mail, I already had the invoice in my email. Unbelievable service for a customer that has already left the hotel!! I will definitely stay at this hotel the next time that I’ll be in Oslo. Location is perfect with a three minutes walk to the train station, and all the restaurants within a walking distance.
