For one night OK, for business purpose, not for a vacation.

Location was OK, in the city centre. Breakfast also OK.

Rooms are super small, for that pricing I would have expected something different, more comfortable. At 6 in the morning some fuel loading (??) from a truck startet, right in front of the windows. Very loud!

Food was amazing, location was great, there was free coffee and tea and the service was on a top level.

The room was rather small (still perfectly fine for 2 people). There were no wardrobes and cupboards and no fridge.

We couldn't have dreamt about better location! Everything is close, metro station, tram, train station. Sightseeing is as simple as leaving the hotel. I spent the holidays with my husband and We were delighted by lovely staff, everyone was helpuful and nice 💖 We must appreciate breakfast in a seperate paragraph because that's what makes our stay in Scandic Grensen particularly amazing. Rich, nutritious and created to suit everyone's taste. Plenty of beverages from different types of coffee and tea to freshly made juices. When it comes to food we could choose savory options like delicious salmon or warm scrambled eggs as well as sweet - huge variety of cereal, cinnammon buns, wide range of yogurt. And cheese! Omg, yhe cheese! Our room was always clean and fresh, very quiet, considering the fact that it's a city centre. We loved the warm floor in the bathroom. Tltr: we had lovely time and ate very well 💖

We didn't like the way the lights in the room work. They are beautifully arranged but completely not intuitive 😅

A good choice in a central Oslo location.

The Scandic Grensen is conveniently located in the central city area within fairly easy walking distance to the central train station and bus station, as well as many of the city tourist sites, including the harbor area. Many restaurants and shops are conveniently located to the Grensen. The room and bathroom were clean and attended to daily.

The amount of room space for the price seemed to come up short; but then I may just be a bit spoiled by American hotel room size. We were at the Grensen for two nights during this trip. Our room faced the street so the road traffic and tram traffic did make some noise which for me was a very minor negative. Room temperature control was an issue for me. Probably would have been understandable for other travlers.

Not the ideal value for money we were expecting, but you'll be okay nevertheless

The breakfast, location and staff. Breakfast had vegan and gluten-free options (even avocados and natural orange juice). The location was very convenient and surprisingly not as noisy during the night (maybe it helped that we got a room facing the side-street). Staff was friendly and able to help whenever prompted (including keeping our luggage on the last day).

The room, the value for money. We booked an economy room and got the one with wheelchair access. So slightly larger than the typical economy room, but still small. For the first time on a trip, we did not have enough space for our belongings (and we were travelling with hand luggage only). Had to request chairs and hangers to compensate (which were provided). The bathroom was larger, but surprisingly only hand soap was provided (no shower gel). The walk-in shower made it difficult to use the toilet after showering. The sink was clogging. Couldn't open the windows to get fresh air. Beds were okay, but nothing extraordinary. We understand this is Oslo and it is not fair to compare the room rate with room rates elsewhere in Europe, but it was still not the value for money ratio we were expecting to get from Scandic.

Modern central and clean. Excellent breakfast

Clean, modern and central location. I can say without a doubt, best breakfast I ever had in a hotel. Unbelievable variety of everything. Nice and friendly staff.

I would give it a 10 if lighting in the room was a bit better. Dimmed lights, hard to see anything in the room. Room was small but very clean and modern. Holder for toilet paper could also be improved

Not great but has some advantages.

Breakfast was great. Staff was friendly. Location excellent as very close to central station.

Room was very small, shower cabin was not clean, water temperature was hard to stabilise. Room had glass walls and big adult size window open with no visible safety latches/system. This should be addressed. There is no lobby or restaurant, just the breakfast area.

Good value for money

Breakfast was above average 3-4 star hotel's one. Location is perfect. Staff was very friendly.

Small rooms, fitted carpet was dull and old. Small showerbox and water didnt stay in correct temperature.

Excellent breakfast buffet, decent location, but not good value at £150 for economy double.

The breakfast buffet was fantastic, so many options. The location is pretty good - it's a couple of minutes' walk from the main high street and the harbour area where you can get boat tours. Max 10 minutes walk from the main train station.

The economy double room was pretty poor and the room needed making over. The carpet was dirty and the fixtures and fittings were shoddy (patches of wall not painted properly, holes where something had been fitted and removed).

We loved Oslo and we loved our stay with you! Takk for everything :)

The breakfast has been one of the best we ever had in a hotel! We loved the variety of foods (that cheese omelette was so so good!) and the idea you could make your own waffles :) The bed was soft and comfortable, the view form our upgraded room was very nice. We'll definitely come back to this hotel in our next trip to Oslo!

The room could have used a little bit more of storage space - we were actually ok because we stayed for only 3 days, hence we didn't really have a problem this time. The shower had two heads - one over head and the other one detectable. The over head wasn't working properly, but we managed to use the other one without issues.
