10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was in a great central location (we arrived by train). There is a fee if you arrive early and want to check in early. If you arrive early and don't want to check in early, there's an option to store luggage in a storage room. The room itself was a bit on the small side (we had 2 suitcases and 2 carry-ons), but it was well maintained. I would stay here again!

Great central location for walking to shops, the Munch museum and library. Restaurants and malls are also walking distance. We took the hop-on hop-off bus to the KNO-Tiki and Viking museums and the Norsk Folkemuseum. Location makes this hotel a winner!

Location is great, just few minutes walking to train central station. check in was smooth and fast. rooms are tiny, and bathroom shower area too small. Maybe this Scandinavian style, noticed it in Denmark and Sweden too. Breakfast is excellent too many varieties of food served.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Arrived late in the evening and were given a front room and advised we may be any to change rooms the next day as it’ll be noisy. Staff seemed to know this was a bad room and despite having a stay for multiple nights no better room and as allocated so forced a room change. May be better to save the front rooms for people staying one night so no room moves are required. It was very loud from the street so the room change was made the following day by helpful staff. On the Second day we’d been out all day exploring beautiful Oslo, returned to the room at 4.30pm to rest and change for dinner only to discover no one had been to make the room up despite it being requested. The maid then appeared at 4.45pm, quite late for house keeping I thought. The room and hotel were clean so no complaints, some staff more helpful than others, great location for reaching everything but make sure you get a room at the back.

10/10 Exceptional

We were beyond pleased with our stay at Scandic Oslo City! It had a most convenient location since we were traveling in and out of the city by train, and the staff and service were excellent - very accommodating and helpful. Our room exceeded our expectations and was extremely spacious and clean. We easily walked to the shopping street and town center, as well as several places to go for dinner. Breakfast was included and fantastic, which was a great help as we were traveling with our kids. Highly recommend!!
