Great location. Staff was helpful in every way. Breakfast was fantastic. No air in rooms so it was a little stuffy but they have fans. The halls n lobby have air. A tiny bit noisy with the buss trams but that didn’t bother us too much as we were out early daily to explore. Would stay here again for sure.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Scandic Holberg. The room was gorgeous - spacious and I loved the sky lights bringing in natural light. The bed was very comfortable. The daily breakfast is amazing! Wonderful to see so many guests there each morning enjoying it. A highly recommended place to stay - close to the tram and local sites!

Every time we are in Oslo we stay in this hotel. Its clean, great location, parking is 50 m away and affordable. Its easy to park until you unload your suitcases and its allowed tobsray with a dog. And friendly people who work there. If you want luxury you have to go to some other place, if you want functional, clean and nicely located hotel we recommend it. And breakfast is great if you order it. Really great.

We enjoyed our stay at the Holberg hotel. The property itself was a beautiful building, easy access to public transportation or a short walk to main attractions. The breakfast was excellent and had many fresh options. There was a lot of street noise echoing in our room, and the room itself was on the small side.

Scandic Hotels are always different and unique and the Holberg was just that. The room was large, comfortable and well furnished. You can see the Radisson Blu tower from your window. It looks like hell on earth, tiny rabbit hutch generic corporate rooms. The Holberg has a bit of character ! Two Minor gripes: A coffee pod machine that needed a degree in engineering to work (and no Tea !) and The Trams. The Holberg is on three major tram lines and the trams are frequent from 5am to 12pm. You edit it out after a while but that first tram of the morning is a rude awakening ! There are lots of local restaurants. Read the reviews and carefully think about making the extra effort to go downtown. The trams are frequent and regular and covered by your Oslo card or Ruter Pass. One more thing: The RFB5 Flugbus goes from just across from the hotel direct to the airport. However, as with the FlugTrains, you can not buy tickets for these through Ruter despite them claiming that you can. Get the Tram to Oslo S and then the VY R12 NOK134 one way - half the cost and half the time. Only consider the FlugBus if you can't walk from the tram stop to Oslo S.

The hotel is very attractive, with beautiful flowers at the entrance. Our room had a street view which was nice except for the busy tram line noise— not so much an issue late at night. And it is very convenient for the tram line to and from the rail station.
