We stayed here on our return trip to Oslo having been on a cruise from Bergen to Tromso. Very easy to find from the Nationaltheatret station, great location for what we wanted to see/visit. Very quiet, fantastic large room with great shower and very comfortable bed. Fantastic breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful. Made use of the luggage storage room too.

Great place as a homebase to explore downtown (sentrum) Oslo. Clean, tidy, modern. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast is a highlight you don't want to miss. Skip the eggs/sausages/bacon/potatoes that are clearly there merely to appease the adventure-adverse North American tourists, and do yourself a favour by going straight for the bread, pate, smoked salmon, local cheeses and jams and more. Only odd thing was the king bed had two separate comforters, odd for a couple, but not a problem. Parking downstairs is expensive (450k - 15%), but that's how Europe is, so if you can manage by transit, it's better (we were coming out of a camping road trip, had no choice). That's not a criticism of the hotel - that's normal here. Also the parking entrance is steep and extremely narrow, suited for small cars only. European cities were not built for cars to begin with.

I have stayed at the location multiple times and it is my main choice of Scandic branch in Oslo due to its location close to Nationaltheatret and the surrounding bus stops. Great staff and clean facility. Frøkost is also consistent as with any Scandic location. One thing I wish the St Olavs Plass location did had was a taxi request kiosk which other locations like the Scandic Bergen Byporten has for its local 0700 taxi company.
