10/10 Exceptional

Very close to a tram transit stop, it is very convenient and good for walking. The room was comfortable, and there was already a fan inside for ventilation. Bed gave a good sleep, everything was clean, and the breakfast was tasty with a lot of variety. Scandic in general seems to be a consistent quality brand of hotel. One minor complaint is the toilet was wedged in - if you are tall, you may have to sit sideways.

Excellent location with easy transport links and a few minutes from.one of the major train stations. Staff are helpful, breakfasts are fresh and offer a very wide range of food. The showers are excellent and beds comfy. Can't fault for the price. Was an excellent base for us.

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.

We stayed at the hotel for four nights and found all the staff very helpful and courteous. The room was a great size. Both the room and bathroom were very clean. The breakfast was absolutely fabulous. It was out of the center of town and was more on the quiet side, but was nicely located to access trams and busses. I would highly recommend this for a future trip.

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!

Clean, quiet, air conditioning, good breakfast, nice location near the Royal Palace near a good neighborhood (St. Hanshaugen is nearby). Standard sized room provided enough room for luggage and one chair for someone to sit, along with a fridge. It was also about a 10-15 min walk from the National Theater transit location, which was convenient. Recommend!

The hotel is in a good location in that you can reach most of the sites in the city within a 10 to 15 minute walk. The breakfast is great and the staff is very helpful. I had a handicap so it was nice of the stop to upgrade me to a bigger room. Be aware if you have a handicap that there are a couple of steps you will have to navigate at the entrance of the hotel. Once you are inside the hotel, there are ramps where necessary.

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.

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.

We had a pleasant stay at Scandic Holberg Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The only downside was that the standard rooms were quite small. However, after we requested a larger room, the hotel kindly upgraded us to a bigger room without any extra charge, which we really appreciated. Overall, the excellent service made our stay enjoyable, and we would stay here again.

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.
