Convenience in the heart of Oslo

Could not be more conveniently situated, but you have to look hard for it as the entrance is in the shopping mall of the central train station. Breakfast was not included. Rooms were spacious. A great jumping off place for sightseeing as the tram is right outside.

Wonderful base camp

We used the hotel as a base for side trips so having the train and tram close by was very helpful. We could have used a car rental dealership close by. Even though the trains, trams, and buses were practically right outside our window, the sound was not a problem.

Oslo Scandic Byporen Hoel

We were only in Oslo 1 night, so it wasn't that big a deal that the bed was a double, but there was only single bedding on it . . . one pillow, one twin blanket. we found another pillow in the closet, but the additional comforter was dirty & didn't have a duvet on it. there was also only one towel in the bathroom. I guess 'twin' means different things in different countries -- I thought we were getting twin beds . . .

Good in Oslo

We arrived by traini from the airport. Signage from the main train terminal was not sufficient to guide us to the hotel. We had to ask directions. Once at the hotel, everything was fine. We enjoyed our room's location and requested the same room for our return visit to Oslo. The breakfasts provided were good, but on our first trip to the dining area, we didn't find the second floor site for breakfast. Again, we had to ask. On other trips, we knew where to go and enjoyed the wide variety of offerings

Oslo at the Train Station

Coming in from the airport one day and leaving by train the next day, the Station Hotel was perfect. The proximity to money exchange and ticket information was also helpful. THe breakfast was all that could be asked for

hotel was in good location right

hotel was in good location right next to train station. Room a bit small, but probably good sized for Scandinavian standards. The bath towels were very worn and thin, and when i asked for replacements, i was given towels of the same quality - not up to usual room standard. Breakfast was quite good.

Gutes Hotel an perfekter Lage

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Hauptbahnhof, an welchem man mit dem Airport Express Zug ankommt. Die Zimmer sind nicht riesig, aber praktisch und sauber. Das Frühstücksbuffet im Restaurant Egon ist reichhaltig und lecker. Das WLAN funktioniert bestens und zudem steht ein Access Point mit Drucker z.B. für das Web Check-in zur Verfügung. Wir konnten das Zimmer bei Ankunft um ca. 10 Uhr beziehen und es am Abflugstag bis 12 Uhr belegen.

Lage top - direkt neben dem Ha

Lage top - direkt neben dem Hauptbahnhof. Saubere Zimmer.... allerdings schlechte 4 Sterne (billige Materialien wurden verwendet). Das Zimmer war ständig ungeheizt bei -16 C Aussentemperatur. Trotz Reklamation wurde der Zustand nicht behoben. Das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr gut, reichhaltig und lecker. Würde das Hotel nicht mehr buchen.
