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.

Stayed two nights (2 persons). Met expectations nicely. Front desk personnel very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Nice corner room on second floor. Staff warned of possible noise from the street, but it didn’t rise to the level of being annoying. Breakfast buffet outstanding.

Hotel across from main train station, so easy walk to most of the sites, but sometimes the area around the plaza seemed full of trash and some street folks (not under the control of the hotel actually) Front desk staff very friendly. Room was small and lacked place suitcase and no actual closet or drawers to put things in. Bathroom had a tricky step up, and the shower especially small as it was an odd shape- and easy to get water all over the floor. Hotel seems a bit worn, and room cleaning was not the best. Had good breakfast. There were no directions in the room for ac system so we never could figure it out - room got very hot and leaving the window open made sleeping difficult due to the club on the side street that went late each night. (again not the fault of the hotel but somehting to know)
