Everything we wanted and needed for our overnight stay. Great location, spotless, quiet and totally accessible room. Staff were friendly too. Bar is pricey - even for Oslo but there are plenty of cafes nearby. Very reasonably priced accommodation.

We were stranded by SAS after the airline went on strike. We had no idea where we were going to stay. This hotel was so accommodating and friendly and helpful. It is so centraly located in Oslo. It is within walking distance of essentially everything. It is across the street from the train station which makes transfer from the airport so convientent. I cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Brilliant hotel, we were welcomed by the lovely staff in a great entrance room! Our room was exactly what we needed when we will barely be in there, city breaks are for exploring! We asked for a cot in our room which sadly wasn’t there on arrival, however, after talking to reception staff the situation was sorted swiftly! We were able to use a microwave in the restaurant area at all times which was great to sterilise baby bottles! The hotels food at breakfast time was lovely and sets you up for a great day of city walking! Both continental and cooked were done very well, the staff in the hotel always wanted a chat and we felt welcomed always! Overall the hotel is a very welcome and good value for money! Big thumbs up from us for anyone looking for a family city break!

Great central location near the station and waterfront. Good sized rooms. Comfy beds. Staff are brilliant - helpful and friendly. Standout breakfast - great choice and quality. Expensive, but that's Norway generally.

Hotel is simple. The location is great. Just right outside the train station. We don’t need to drag our luggages that far. We were given a room with no good view. Right outside our window was the lift from the other side but Im not complaining about that. Would have been worse if our room was facing the street. Too much people and noise outside. Atleast it was a quiet room Room and was also clean. The receptionists were awesome. They were all helpfull. The breakfast was fine. Nothing really new with all hotels here in norway. It’s just Bacon and egg and yoghurts and breads. But the restaurant was small. Not sure if all guests would fit there if everyone eats at the same time. Would recommend this hotel. Will definitely come back.

The staff was very kind and willing to help. Breakfast was excellent and with lot of choices for both vegans and meat-eating clients. The Hotel is only 100m away from Oslo S (Central Train Station) and 30m from bus/tram stop. It is an excellent choice for both business or travel journey to stay in.

Great stay in the heart of downtown, a little noisy due to location but the breakfast was excellent. It is very close to the train station and within walking distance of almost all city attractions. Easily get around on train bus or boats just outside the door.

The room and the hallway weren't clean. The towels were limited. The water in the shower had no to little pressure. The cleanliness of the bathroom was terrible, I even found hair in the air blower. The staff is so mean and not friendly (not all the staff though, some of them were sweet hearts)

Bad hotel, terrible and small rooms. Old, and bad quality. Stay away from this hotel, it is not worth the money! Stayed on a business travel, will never stay or recommend this hotel for anyone. Couldnt turn around in the room.

Dear Guro Many thanks. I know that my answer will sound somewhat argumentative and I do apologize for that but this was such a strong and negative message, and this is a hotel and workplace which my fantastic colleagues and I are proud of all in all so I felt it deserves a proper feedback. So sad to read that you had such a negative experience with us. Also makes me very sad to see that you felt it is necessary to warn other guests about the hotel. We love to receive constructive feedback because this is by far our most important mean to better our service and delivery. We know that the hotel is not the newest in the area and do hope that we will have the chance to modernize the hotel in the not to distant future. This has been the plan but with two years now with the worst crisis the industry has ever experienced this has unfortunately been impossible so far. I am however very happy to see and read that most of our guests do not share your opinion, but this is obviously your subjective opinion and I do respect that. Not much I can do to change your experience. I do hope you contacted one of my colleagues when you stayed here so that we had the chance to figure something out and find you a alternative room. We always do our best to find the best possible alternative if there are factors our guests are not happy about. You are more then welcome back to us. Don't hesitate to contact us directly. Have a lovely week. Best Theodor von Porat General Manager theodor.vonporat@scandichotels.com
