I stayed for 3 nights in this hotel in a simple room. The standard was good, the room was clean, TV was ok and the wifi was the best one for a long time, but I could of course just be lucky with the room placement compared to the wifi-hotspot. The breakfast is a a default scandic-breakfast and honestly I... More

This hotel is centrally located, within short walking distances of some of the major tourist sites. The staff's assistance in ordering taxis was excellent and extremely fast. A big plus for me was the parking garage where I could leave the car, albeit at quite a hefty price. Breakfast was good with a wide choice. The rooms were comfortable enough... More

The first thing to say about this hotel is that it is in a great location. Many of this pleasant and picturesque city's major sites are within walking distance. The main shopping street is 8-10 minutes away as is the Royal Palace, National Theatre, and Oslo University. The Harbor is no more than 15 minutes walk. The amazing Vigeland sculpture... More

The Scandic / Edderkoppen is a classic tourist Scandic hotel. The rooms are small and dull but contain all the necessities and even though both rooms and hotel are a bit worn out and could certainly use a good refresher, it works as intended. The staff were nice and friendly and both check-in and check-out went quickly and painlessly. Breakfast... More

The exteriors of this hotel is rather dull. When arriving, passing several far better looking hotels, one might get a rather gloomy first impression of this place. A pleasant surprise then - seeing the interiors of both the lobby, breakfast area and bedroom. Apart from an old - but clean - bathroom, the all in all imression is good. The... More

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to write us a very nice review. We are happy that you found our hotel nice and comfortable. Unfortunately there is not much we can do with the exterior of the hotel, due to restrictions of the building. We do now however during the summer have a great outdoor seating area that looks...

I stayed at the Edderkoppen last year just before National day after I could no longer secure the deal I used to get at the Royal Christiania. I stayed with a friend in a twin room which was more than spacious enough for the two of us. Centrally located but far enough from the clubs that noise didn't bother us... More

This is clearly a business hotel, the way it treats visitors. It's costly, and yet not particularly elegant, and had slow service on the front desk. Rooms were fine - bed was comfortable, moderately spacious, decent shower, etc - no major complaints there. Location is pretty good, at the west end of the centre of Oslo. Breakfast was appallingly bad,... More

...the room was great, and I LOVE that they have an environmentally friendly approach to things, but my stay was ruined by something which for many may seem trivial --- it took me at least ten minutes (after I'd already fetched my food) to get coffee at breakfast!
