I really enjoyed my stay at the Scandic Holberg. The room was gorgeous - spacious and I loved the sky lights bringing in natural light. The bed was very comfortable. The daily breakfast is amazing! Wonderful to see so many guests there each morning enjoying it. A highly recommended place to stay - close to the tram and local sites!

Parking was not on site but a public parking garage is not far from the hotel. The rooms were clean. A bit nosey due to the trains running all night, but that was to be expected due to the properties location. The staff was amazing and friendly! Would recommend staying here.

The hotel was beautiful both inside and out. The general manager (Elizabeth) and her staff were very friendly and helpful, they made our first trip to Norway a wonderful experience. Even though there was a hotel workers strike happening whilst we were there we did not feel any ill affects.

This was a nice hotel close to the city centre, shopping and public transport. The room was a bit small but comfortable. The only down-side was the tramline that ran past the bedroom window but the sound-proofing was adequate enough to not make this a major issue.
