Brilliant place to stay. Great breakfast. Staff helpful. Rooms fine great area

The only things missing were Tea / Coffee/ Kettle and maybe a mini fridge. Otherwise lovely helpful staff and very clean hotel.

Room was very small, not very comfortable. Staff was not attentive during check in

Excellent hotel in great area

the area was quiet and everyone was so nice and helped me out when I needed it. I was there for about a week and I enjoyed it a lot. They have food options around which is at the bottom of the steps near the hotel that was nice. Everything was cleaned correctly when needed as well.

The hotel was as expected beside the fact that our room was facing the street where road repairs started at 11 pm. When reported to the front desk they apologized but refused to transfer to another room .

We had a good stay at the Vulkan although the room was looking a little “tired” round the edges. For a hotel that would be used by a lot of tourists, they had a strangely early breakfast time during the week - finishing at 0930! Location is excellent however with easy walking distance to Grunerlokka for great bars/restaurants and even into Oslo city centre along the Akerselva river.

Scandic Vulkan Oslo is awesome

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, convenient to sites and public transport. It was a great walking area, an interesting and safe place next to lots of restaurants and shopping. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful! A great stay.

Nice small hotel, we stay for a concert at vulkan Arena and it was so convenient that the s around the corner. Breakfast was very good. I would stay again.

Would come back to stay at this hotel again.

A lovely hotel in a lovely city.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Vulkan, the staff were friendly, there were plenty of places to eat/drink nearby and the walk into town was very easy. The breakfast was amazing!

Comfy and well-maintained hotel with great staff, and the breakfast was particularly good.

Lads trip depeche mode

Great location and very helpful staff! Good breakfast

Excelent

Right nextcto a great area includingbislos o ly big food hall market. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby . Very pleasant area . Hotel great vibe and extensive breakfast

Lovely hotel in a great area. Was wel decorated and the staff is really helpful.

Upgraded our room when we arrived and ventured out for the day. The a/c was not working in our room so they moved us rooms (downgraded space, etc) at 11pm rather than look at the a/c. Downgraded room a/c was also quite poor but you couldn’t open the window because the a/c wouldn’t then work. It was uncomfortably hot and when we inquired the next morning - all the check out person said was she wasn’t working. In sum, paid for upgraded room that they moved us from to an inferior room with also very poor a/c. Terrible sleeping experience. Otherwise the hotel location was great and the decor was nice.

Loved our room and stay. Loved the centralized location in Oslo, the professionalism and thoughtfulness of the staff, and — very much — the breakfast. That breakfast was almost a religious level of indulgence. Brilliant stuff.

Not bad location but not perfect. No help with luggage. Room too hot.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. The property was very nice including the lobby and breakfast area. The gym was perfect for a simple workout. Our room was small but I’m sure you can pay more for a bigger room! Our electricity breaker kept going. They offered to move us but we only had a day left so we just stuck it out. Loved the area. Right on the river which made for a great walk in the morning. Definitely would recommend!

The breakfast buffet was outstanding. So much variety. And a nice dining area. The staff were very obliging.

Me at the scandic

The hotel was nice and the most amazing free breakfast. The employees were all very nice.

Excellent location next to river walk and near to studios of friends. About 15 minutes from downtown, but very walkable; downhill from hotel, uphill back to hotel. Well-maintained hotel from lobby to rooms. Very full and tasty complimentary breakfast, well-suited for N Americans!

Friendly staff, nice room

Great hotel and value for money

A place to share C-19

The room was ok, the location is good. However, the breakfast arrangement was a catastrophe. We are due to C-19 still in a situation where distance is needed. There were no regulation on where to sit and the number of visitors simultaneous attending the buffet, resulting in chaos and all to many people in a very restricted area. The idea with distributing plastic gloves might have helped if they had fitted also male hands - they did not - and most visitors did not use them anyway. One functioning coffee machine with long unorganized line ups made several of us not drink coffee. This was disappointing from a large hotel chain like Scandic.

This hotel sells itself as a high end

Overall ok stay. Some requests weren't accommodated. Asked for a second luggage floor rack and was told "we don't have an extras". Comical, considering half the rooms were kept empty due to Corona-virus related regulations. All non-guest room restrooms throughout the property are closed, again due to Corona fears. Doesn't make logical sense since the daily breakfast buffet is full of guests sitting and breathing in the same room and touching the same utensils over and over again, how is keeping some single restrooms open for guest comfort more dangerous than the breakfast situation?

Room was clean and the area around it had a lot of restaurant options with different varieties.

Great, Comfortable Hotel

Lovely hotel in a calm and non tourist-feeling environment. About an easy 20 minute walk from city-centre and train station. The breakfast was amazing and the restaurant was all we needed. The 24/hr shop is perfect for late night snacking and the staff were really pleasant.

Walls are dirty and scuffed, shower doesn't work properly and staff is not accommodating. Wouldn't let us check out an hour later without a charge, not hospitable AT ALL.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Also, the breakfast was absolutely amazing.

Perfect for OSLO weekend

Meget bra

No service, good comfort and local area

I was traveling for work and had forgot my charger. It was not possible to lend a charger or to get a wake up call, I was told to go and set the alarm on my TV. This resulted in me having to walk to the hotel next door and charge my phone at 11 o'clock in the night.

Nice location. Close to a famous food court (which happened to be closed when we were there, late Sunday and all day Monday). Easy walk in one direction to good restaurants and in the other direction to downtown Oslo.

Good for Grünerløkka, but not as good as it looks

This is one of the only hotels in the trendy Grünerløkka - right next to the river, the fantastic market hall, and not far from the city. But don’t let the photos deceive you - this is unfortunately a rather sterile, chain hotel with cheap furnishings. The straightforward request we put in the booking notes was also not read until arrival, at which point it was not possible.

Really enjoyed our visit. Great place to stay!!!!

Small room. Outlook over building site. Good breakfast.

Location was great, rooms could use additional amenities as current supply is quite basic

As we went down to breakfast there was a quantity of vomit on the floor outside the lift, when we returned from breakfast it was still there so called reception and informed them that the area required cleaning, the lady on reception was very polite and told me that other guests had already informed them of the mess and that housekeeping had been informed. When my husband and I checked out around half an hour later the vomit was still there and some others had walked through it and spread it further over the carpet. Was disgusting - feel it should have been dealt with promptly when staff were informed.

A hotel for those with an interest in food and art

The location of the hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the station but it is located right by the Oslo food hall. This location is hip, fun, and offers a lot of really good meal options! The hotel itself has an artsy flair and unique styling should you be looking for something with a different vibe than the traditional Scandic hotel.

Great location near bars & restaurants. Close to public transport. Staff were helpful

Great location next to the gorgeous food hall and central to a lively restaurant and bar scene in Grunerlokka. Breakfast is included and offers a great spread. But our room was terrible, with disjointed design and barely enough room to open a suitcase. We were excited when assigned to the 8th floor because Oslo is a low city and we expected fantastic views—what we got was the hotel’s fire staircase and construction. Bathrooms were nice (ours was bigger than the bedroom itself!), but the hallways, lobby, and rooms felt in serious need of an update and design overhaul. This hotel is good for people who don’t plan to spend much time in their room.

gefällt mir!

Terningkast 5

Helt greit hotell, veldig hyggelig ansatte i spisesalen og i resepsjonen, innsjekkingen gikk i rekodfart. Fint rom og god seng så man sover godt, rent på rommet og på badet. Kanskje litt lite utvalg til frokosten men med nystekte egg og bacon så er det lett å gi tilgivelse. Kommer gjerne igjen neste gang jeg skal ha en Oslo helg

Jeg hadde et flott opphold på Vulkan Scandic.

Fint ophold

Det var dyrevenlig, men ville godt have kunnet sidde i receptionen mad hunden, da vi ikke kunne have hende med i restauranten. Det var lidt trangt at sidde på værelset.

God søvn

Veldig gode senger, vi sov begge uforstyrret hele natten

Fint hotell, enda bedre folk

Flinke folk som jobbet i resepsjonen, god frokost!

Anbefales på det sterkeste

Kort opphold pga julebord, men var et utmerket hotell. Frokosten var middels, men ellers var det supert! I nærheten av det meste man kan tenke seg i Oslo. Gåavstand til sentrum.

Fantastisk rom og service. Veldig rent og pent, men jeg oppdaget skjeggkre på badet.

Flott beliggenhet

Resepsjonist som ikke så opp på oss fra skjermen, flere tilfeller.

Så där

Helt OK, men relativt dyrt för vad man får. Rummet var mycket märkligt arrangerat och ganska bedagat. På väggen satt två skruvar där en tavla eller liknande skulle ha suttit. Såg rätt B ut.

HC rom i 2etg er kaldt og lite hyggelig rom. Betjening i resepsjonen snakker dårlig norsk.

Turist i egen by

Rommet var rent og ryddig. Fikk tilbud om ekstra vask dersom det var ønsket av oss. Beliggenheten var utmerket for vår del. Gangavstand til sentrum av byen. Hotellet lå i et rolig område.

Super service!

Hurtigt ind og ud og fin morgenmad. God plads på værelset

Synes rommet var lite og trangt. Det hadde heller ikke vannkoker eller kaffemaskin noe det burde ha.

Sentralt i Vulkan området

Vindu var låst og ikke mulig å få friskluft gir ubehagelig soveklima.

Wir kamen um 12 Uhr am Hotel an und mussten für einen early Checkin 200 Kronen bezahlen, dann bekamen wir ein kleines Zimmer mit einem kleinen Fenster, welches auch nicht zu öffnen war. Wir waren schon zwei Mal vorher in diesem Hotel und bekamen jedesmal ein schönes großes Zimmer. Sehr positiv fanden wir, dass wir unsere Fahrräder in einem dem Hotel zugehörigen Innenhof abstellen konnten. Frühstück ist sehr gut und auch sehr reichhaltig.

Fantastisk frokost.

Litt kaotisk ved frokosten ! Blitt dårligere utvalg!

Helt ok

Ok

Hotellet ligger i et spennende område med mange tilbud når de gjelder mat og kultur. God frokost.

Hyggelig betjening rent og stille rom. Det var ingen kaffemaskin/vannkoker på rommet noe jeg mener bør være standard på ett 4 stjerners hotell. Frokost helt topp. Beliggenhet veldig bra rett ved Mathallen og kort vei til Grunerløkka og 15 minutters spasertur ned til sentrum.

Spartansk rom

Spartansk rom. Ikke minibar, skrivebord, skohjern, støy fra Vulkan, konserter. Kronglete tilgang til rommet fra resepsjonen. Få kleshengere, ingen skapplass, f.eks til kjoler eller lengre plagg

Svært hyggelig mottakelse og service

Bra opphold

Rent og pent rom, komfortable senger, god frokost

Bra läge.

Helt ok. Trevligt område men trist rum och slitet rum, mycket ljud utifrån och fanns ingen info om någon av faciliteterna på rummet. Fick heller ingen information från receptionen om något på hotellet. Ett plus var att vi kunde ta med våra cyklar på rummet. God frukost men rörigt och kaffet var otroligt trist.

Litt varm natt

Bra frokost og bra beliggenhet. Nedtrekk da ac sluttet og virke om natten. Ble veldig varmt da vindu ikke kunne åpnes.

Avspänd atmosfär

Bra bemötande i receptionen. Vi fick ett extra litet mörkt dubbelrum med ett långsmalt fönster som inte släppte in nåt ljus. Extra stort duschutrymme. Bra sängar. Mycket trevlig hotellfoaje med många bekväma sittmöbler. Bar med lite olika sortiment. Fantastisk frukostbuffé, om än lite trångt. Det var komplicerat i början att förstå att hotellet var byggt i etage. Entren var plan 4 frukost plan1. En våning upp var plan 5. Parkeringshus nära med 3 infarter där plan 3 var i gatuplan och närmast infart från gatan. Plan1 var längst ned. Detta ledde till att vi var av med bilen ett tag eftersom vi trodde vi parkerat på plan 1. Oslo är en promenadvänlig stad och hotellet är nära centrum. Det finns trevliga uteserveringar precis intill och livsmedelsaffär.

Nice hotel and breakfast but the floors in the room was not cleaned at all during our 4 days or before arrival. Nasty to be barefoot. Did not get clean towels replaced even though they wanted the dirty ones on the floor. Super hot in the room. 25 C outside and we could not change the temperature, no fan, could only open the window a tiny bit since the room was high up in the building.

Vulcan

Veldig sentralt og organisert

Kommer tilbake ved neste besøk i Oslo

God frokost, god seng hyggelig betjening. Bra standard på badet. Veldig bra område med uteplasser rett rundt hjørnet, og likevel stilt og rolig på natten.

Dusj var ikke vasket. Tånegler og hår rundt om.

Fint rom,bra str.på badet. God buffet frokost

Greit rom, tragisk utsikt fra toppetasje. Veldig dårlig trykk på vannet i dusjen.

Bra hotell, service og renhold, men kaotisk frokost. Alt for mye folk på for lite areal. Mye køståing og venting på bord.

kjempe flott!

kjempe flotte rom! Fine bad, Bra standard men litt lite plasser ved frokost bordene

Trevligt hotell, bra frukostmeny. Bra läge, smidig in-och utcheckning. Lite minus för dåligt tryck på vattnet i badrummet och att det inte gick öppna något fönster eller ändra temperaturen på AC (var varmt både ute och inne). (Bodde på plan 9).

Takk for oppholdet, vi kommer tilbake.

Fantastisk sted og beliggenhet, veldig bra utvalg i frokostsalen. Hyggelige og serviceinnstilte ansatte. Eneste minus er på selve rommet, fancy glassdører med store glipper rund er det siste jeg ønsker… Blir nesten som å sitte på do midt i stua mens resten av følget ser og hører på.

Tipptopp!!👍😊

Flott rom! Som forventet, og litt til. Dyktige og vennlige ansatte, fikk sjekket inn ca en time «før tiden». Uten ekstra kostnad. Deilig frokost, suveren beliggenhet. Gode parkeringsmuligheter, inkl lading av elbil - normale priser. Kommer gjerne tilbake hit! 😊👍

Helt ok. Misvisende angående parkering

Gode senge og god morgenmad

Super dejligt område. Rigtig gode senge og dejlig morgenmad.

Veldig bra sted, frukost og plassering ved Mathallen

Veldig fornøyd.

Det var veldig mye støv under sengene på rommet. dårlig renhold underveis i oppholdet. håndklær ble byttet hver dag, selv om vi hang dem opp.

Hadde vært best om alle rom var i ett bygg

Veldig fint hotell, god frokost. Men vi fikk rom hvor vi måtte ut av bygget til et annet. Hadde vært deilig å slippe å måtte ut for å ta heisen til resepsjonen. På vinterstid er det veldig kaldt og man ønsker gjerne å ikke ta på parkas når man skal stå opp og gå ned til frokost. Men ellers veldig fint hotell👍

Flott hotell

Flotte rom, men gode senger. Kunne gjerne hatt flere hyller på badet. Var også noen lyspærer som var iustand. Veldig god forkostbuffet med godt utvalg av både varm og kald mat

Mangler litt ja!

Litt dårlig utvalg på frokostbufeten, leverpostdeig og grovere brød og muggost er et must! Mangler endel frukt. Druer og melon er alfor søtt. Prøv med epler, pærer og banan. Litt " kjørlig" personale. Og ingen mulighet å få forlenget utsjekk. Burde vært kaffe og te på rommene.

Rommet var ikke å anbefale. Ikke baderom møbler og uhyggelig innredning på rommet. Veldig dårlig isolerte vegger. Hørte naboen snorke, smatte og snu seg i sengen. Klokken 3 på natten våknet jeg av vann dråper fra taket. Vannlekkasje fra oven. Fikk ikke nytt rom da hotellet var fullbooket.

Var på konsert på vulkan, perfekt avstand til hotell, parkering og Mathallen. Vi kommer garantert tilbake.

Helt greit, de har mye å gå på når det gjelder frokosten. Den er langt under snittet. Ellers okbra.

Litt misfornøyd lojal bruker av deres hotell

På rommet vi fikk var det19 grader og vi fikk ikke justert opp. Snakket med resepsjon og de skulle se på det mens vi var ute. Når vi kom tilbake hadde de satt inn en bitteliten varmeovn og det var fortsatt ikke mer enn 19 grader. Snakket med resepsjonen på nytt for tredje gang hvor vi fikk nytt rom.. Burde fått nytt rom etter første henvendelse.

Veldig god frokost

Hadde en fin natt i 9 etasje. Stille og rolig. Helt ok standardrom. Vennlige folk i resepsjon og i baren. Frokosten var veldig god.

Fin opplevelse

Hadde et utmerket opphold over to netter ifm. privatreisende. Rommet var fint, satt ekstra pris på sittegruppe på rommet. Hadde ønsket meg tilgang på kjøleskap på rommet, ellers var alt helt topp.

Sehr gute Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Veldig varmt på rommet! Prøvde å skru ned og lufte, men vinduet var mot en gågang, så det var litt ubehagelig

A very pleasamt stay

The first impression of this hotel is that it is a little bit of a labyrinth but one quickly got used to it and this soon felt more like a charming quirk. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, the staff smiling and helpful and the breakfast buffet had plenty of choice. I did miss the possibility to make coffee or tea in the room but other than that this hotel was more than satisfactory.

Beliggenheten var midt i blinken. Frokosten var god. Rommet var vendt mot bakgården så der var stille og rolig.
