10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay near good transportation hotspots. You can easily walk to downtown and even the sea side. The place is super quiet and well isolated, I had great sleep. The breakfast are amazing for the price of the hotel.
Maximiliano, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, but not usual Scandic standard.

Great location for central Oslo. Just be aware there are tram lines outside but not too noisy. Rooms are fantastic in size, but why oh why do you make the bathrooms so small when you have so much room? Shower is crammed into the smallest corner. As a seasoned travel breakfasts are important. You need a good start to the day. This is where it went wrong. A hot breakfast should be WARM, there were ice cubes in the scrambled eggs, and cold sausages and bacon? Come on it’s not difficult to keep food warm. Major Minus points for that. Please fix that!

Dated rooms but otherwise a great stay

Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms are very dated, narrow beds but room was clean. Bathrooms were nice and clean, although compact. Breakfast was very good with everyone catered for and great service.

Great location, perfectly adequate three-star hotel if somewhat tired and scuffed in places. For the price, fine, and I stay there often.

Arrived very early to have our luggage held until check in and staff was able to get us checked in anyway. Really appreciated that kind of service. The room was clean and cute although access to the shower was very small, would not work for a heavy person.

Well located. Very Good breakfast. Average size rooms not big not small. No mirrors. No tv international channels. Friendly staff

Good breakfast

Although the breakfast is tasty and has a large selection (fresh vegetables, fruit...) during the week it only lasts until 9:30 (a little too short) and after that time the lights in the restaurant are turned off and the food is taken away. The room is tiny, without a kettle or coffee machine. The bathroom is also tiny. My room had windows facing the street and it was very noisy due to the trams. The reception service was very nice, helpful and professional. She provided us with boiling water, so we could store our luggage longer without any problems.

Fantastic stay celebrating a special birthday

We had a fantastic stay at the Scandic Holberg. I had emailed ahead to let them know that it would be our first visit to Oslo celebrating a special birthday. I received a prompt reply saying they would try their best to accommodate my requests for a nice, quiet room. We were warmly greeted at Reception upon arrival by Valentina, wishing me a Happy Birthday. Our room was great...at the back & quiet. A pleasant surprise was a birthday message on the door & a muffin & candle with birthday message in the room. The room was clean and quite spacious. The bathroom had a heated floor which was lovely. The breakfast had a huge variety which was great. The only thing I would mention is that it wasn't very warm and could have been kept hot better. The addition of a toaster for bread would also have been good. The location of the hotel was great. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall though, I would highly recommend this hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Really great staff. Everyone went above and beyon

They originally gave me a street view room but I was worried it would be too noisy. Valentina said she’d get me a quieter room and she did. Blackout curtains and inside garden view on 5 th floor. It was very quiet and spacious. It was a bit cold at night in May so they brought in a space heater. The breakfast was great and had something for everyone We loved the assortment of breads, cereals, meats, salad's fish and cheese. You won’t go hungry

Ta å fyr noe plumbo i vasken og vask over bordene

Vasken på rommet var så og si helt tett. I det vi kom inn på rommet etter innsjekk la vi merke til at rommet ikke var vasket skikkelig. Nattbordene hadde klissete flekker som kommer av øl-bokser etc. Det sto 2 tomme ølbokser i et hjørne. Lett å se, men ikke tatt vekk. Frokosten er god, treningsrom er pluss (ikke stort, men bedre en veldig mye annet). Hyggelig personale.
