Scandic Vulkan

The location suited us well - not too far to walk from the train station, or into the main shopping street. Also, there's a bus route next to the hotel if you dont want to walk. It is also right next to a big food court ("Mathallen") , which offers plenty of options for relatively inexpensive dining, and a good supermarket. Our room faced an inner courtyard so we didn't get any street noise, and the window had block-out curtains to spare us from the early sunrise. Room was a good size and comfortable. Breakfast presented a good range of foods, eaten in the sunny dining room, and was not over-crowded. Overall a very clean and comfortable hotel in a convenient location, we would happily stay there again when in Oslo.

Breakfast was very good. We liked the location in a less touristy neighborhood. There was a park across the street and a food hall with several restaurants in the same development. We liked the easy access to the pedestrian path along the river that we could take to get to central Oslo.

This is an excellent location, walking distance to parks, restaurants and cafes and public transportation. Oslo is a place where you really don’t need a car and can get get anywhere pretty fast using their trams and buses. Our room was spacious snd clean and the windows actually open (often not the case in Norwegian hotels or maybe just our experience). Best breakfast we’ve had the whole trip. Fun beer garden a block away. Would stay there again for sure.

Breakfast was really good and lots of choice, best breakfast we've had in a hotel for a very long time. Staff friendly and attentive! Quiet in the evenings which means undisturbed sleep and a 25min walk to city centre, or 3min bus ride using the app RUTER (bus stops right outside hotel). Windows opened which was a bonus for fresh air and then bathroom was clean with daily room service.

The hotel is actually in a really great location once you get to know Oslo. There are beautiful sites around it, the food hall nearby is great (and the Hrimnir Ramen next door has really good chasu!) and across the river is a lively neighbourhood (plus streets with picturesque houses and the oldest church in Oslo nearby). The bedroom had a nice view, the bathroom was spaceous, the staff very friendly.
