Scandic Vulkan

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.

I recently stayed at The Scandic Vulkan, and while it may be a bit far from the city center (for walking), it more than makes up for it with its fantastic breakfast, friendly staff, and comfortable accommodations. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breakfast. Each morning, I was greeted with a bountiful spread that catered to all tastes. The selection was impressive, ranging from pastries to hot options like eggs, bacon, and local specialties. The quality of the food was top-notch, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The breakfast area was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to start the day. The staff indeed went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. From the moment I checked in, I was met with warm smiles and a genuine eagerness to assist with any needs or questions. Their friendliness and professionalism added a personal touch to my experience, making me feel right at home. The only downside to this excellent hotel is its distance from the city center. It's further out, so you'll need to factor in some travel time to reach the main attractions and shopping areas. However, this location could be a positive if you're looking for a quieter, more relaxed environment away from the hustle and bustle. Public transportation is accessible, and plenty of good restaurants and coffee shops are nearby. Despite the longer commute to the city center, my stay at The Scandic Vulkan was thoroughly enjoyable. The excellent breakfast and outstanding service from the staff more than compensated for the distance. If you are okay with being a bit further from the action, I highly recommend this hotel and prefer a peaceful retreat with great amenities. It's a hidden gem that offers excellent value for a relaxing stay.

The Breakfast is really good. There's a lot of choices. The location is quite near to the centre, I just need to walk for about 5 mins to reach the bus stop. The room is clean, I also like the style/design of the room. I would suggest next time, to a bottle or 2 of water for complimentary. Most of the hotels that I've stayed have complimentary water, especially when guest reach late night and groceries are closed.

Let us check in 2 hours early. Really appreciated this. Breakfast selection was good Next to the Vulcan Arena, a Bohemian style area of restaurants and bars Staff extremely friendly Beds quite comfortable Bathroom clean and in good condition Nice foyer area to sit in and relax

Excellent location to stroll around Oslo. There is a nearby parking garage (elevator basically opens up a few metres from entrance of the hotel) for those who need to park the car. Great breakfast. The rooms are basic but clean and have excellent beds.
