Scandic Vulkan

I was traveling for work and had forgot my charger. It was not possible to lend a charger or to get a wake up call, I was told to go and set the alarm on my TV. This resulted in me having to walk to the hotel next door and charge my phone at 11 o'clock in the night.

This is one of the only hotels in the trendy Grünerløkka - right next to the river, the fantastic market hall, and not far from the city. But don’t let the photos deceive you - this is unfortunately a rather sterile, chain hotel with cheap furnishings. The straightforward request we put in the booking notes was also not read until arrival, at which point it was not possible.

The location of the hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the station but it is located right by the Oslo food hall. This location is hip, fun, and offers a lot of really good meal options! The hotel itself has an artsy flair and unique styling should you be looking for something with a different vibe than the traditional Scandic hotel.

Great location, nice room, very friendly staff, great breaky - would definitely stay again

Very small room with no storage space, but if that is not important for your stay, the hotel is otherwise very good - especially the excellent breakfast buffet. Gerry
