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

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.
