Hans, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room is a bit more basic than I usually get, (e.g. no iron and board as no wardrobe - but was available from reception to loan) but nonetheless comfortable. Was concerned that it was across from the tramline but noise was barely noticeable. Shower was very good. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of ingredients that would never have been in a buffet in a British hotel such as avocado. Location was excellent, right in the heart of the city but away from most of the noise, yet a relatively short walk (even with luggage) to the nearest train station that could get you to the airport in less than three stops.

Chosen for its proximity to the club I was going to. Friendly staff, warm room, comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Breakfast excellent. Only downside the state of the clean but needing renewing carpets.

I didn’t saw pancakes/waffles. The rest was perfect. Very walkable and centric for a great price.
Edel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were a group of about 10 people staying at Scandic Grensen. Had a long great breakfast with friends in very nice surroundings. Rooms and service excellent. Absolutely the place to stay in the center of Oslo city. We will all be back in 2025.

2/10 Poor

Never going to book at this hotel again. The rooms was disgusting with hair in the shower, and I got new room and again I found hair lots of dust and food rest on the desk. 2 separate room be dirty it’s kinda overdue. With that price I expected much better from scandic. So disappointed. Never ever again. Your breakfast egg was cold I was there 06:40, 10 minutes after it opened.

Var der en hel uge men vi fik kun gjort rent to gange . men de tømte skraldespanden hver dag. Og de rede heller ikke vores seng. Og værelset kunne godt trænge til at få nyt gulvtæppe det var virkelig ulækkert
