Scandic Grensen Oslo

Currently doing a hop-scotch trip (many countries for short periods of time) and this was just what I was looking for. Not too fancy and not too expensive. My only warning is the neighborhood is NOISY, so either bring earplugs or be prepared to constantly wake up due to drunk people shout-singing outside until at least 3 in the morning.

If you book the cheapest room be prepared to carry your luggage down a flight of stairs to your room. We used lift to floor 3 then had to cross a covered walkway to the newer part of the hotel and go down the stairs to access our room. Location is fine with a Bergen card as could access a bus or tram to go anywhere.

Great location. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly helpful staff.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They allowed us to store big bags between stays. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The breakfast was very good and good variety including omelette and fried eggs which we did not have anywhere else in Scandinavia. Good location-10min to train station There was noise from the trams. We had to get breakfast to go and the man was reluctant to give us water.

The breakfast is amazing..or the review would be worse. No heat in the room. No one available when checking out. No one to call for a taxi. No breakfast on check out day though we were promised there would be. Other than the person originally checking us in, the front desk continually passed the buck. By no means the full service experience we were expecting.
