Staff were friendly amd helpful. The room was great, extra spacious and clean. Location was conveniently located across from the train station downtown. That being said, that comes with outside noise and we had two uncomfortable interactions with some unhoused individuals. The last night we were there a non profit had set up outside the hotel with sleeping bags and other items for the unhoused. Next time , I would stay at one of their hotels further outside of downtown town for a quieter experience. Overall the hotel itself and staff were wonderful.

Poor sound insulation

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was brilliant (and great that you can pay to make up a lunch from breakfast). The big but was that we had a separate couple staying in the interconnecting room and we could hear every word they said, and a lot of noise too.

We were beyond pleased with our stay at Scandic Oslo City! It had a most convenient location since we were traveling in and out of the city by train, and the staff and service were excellent - very accommodating and helpful. Our room exceeded our expectations and was extremely spacious and clean. We easily walked to the shopping street and town center, as well as several places to go for dinner. Breakfast was included and fantastic, which was a great help as we were traveling with our kids. Highly recommend!!

Wondeful city. The hotel was a really nice suprise. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was top notch and enough selection for something different every day. Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. Only negative was the bathrooms are a little small but more than adequate for our stay. Will use again.
