Scandic Vulkan Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

A beautiful room but experienced a number of disappointments. Hotel guests must pay a supplement daily charge to use the swimming pools AND book at designated time slot. I have NEVER experienced this at any hotel anywhere in the world. I was in a premium room, but this policy applies to all guests, which I think is awful. It was also impossible to get a spa appointment during my stay. Zero preference given to hotel guests. I strongly suggest you book spa treatments at least a week in advance of your arrival. Also, there is no turndown service, unusual for a highly priced 5* hotel. Housekeeping also finishes very early, or isn’t interested in guests who don’t align with their schedule. I had to work in my room but left at 2:45pm and it was not cleaned despite signalling the room needed making up. The reception team were polite, but chaotic. Generally, the hotel restaurants seem more focused on catering to outside guests, which is a shame.

The hotel location is absolutely fantastic! City attractions are right next door; you can easily explore them on foot in two days. The hotel facilities are great, the breakfast selection is extensive, and the staff are friendly. In Europe, where walking is practically the main mode of transportation, hotel location is crucial, saving time, energy, and transportation costs.

A good choice in the morning. The brown cheese is a Norwegian specialty. You can try it. The area is not big, but overall there are many categories to choose from. But the charging socket is broken. You can choose other hotels at this price.

The overall location is good, right in the city center. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the train station. The exterior and lobby area are nice. The room is average. Anyway, the room we stayed in has average facilities, not like a five-star hotel. The service is good.

Definitely a busier part of town but we enjoyed being in the middle of it. Could see and hear the water fountains in the park from window. There is a little second level perch/balcony which was amazing to sit at during the evening sun while sipping some of the delicious white wine provided by hotel. Easy walk to the train stations and overall great location for walking to all of the places we wanted to go to. Beds were very comfortable and we had excellent sleep! Morning breakfast was amazing and had a very nice ambiance! I can’t believe the fresh juice station and health shots…America needs to step up the game as far as hotel breakfasts.

Very comfortable and helpful staff. Sound isolation could be better because you hear TV from the next room.

Excellent location, just walk out from Oslo station and you can see the hotel and have access to the hotel’s level 2 directly. Easy access to airport. Arrived late at night. Check in process was efficient. Staff was polite and offered me a free bottled mineral water which was a kind gesture as the waters/drinks in mini fridge are chargeable. Small compact room but sufficient. Kettle and steam iron available in the room which are very useful. The room is too cold for me though, I think it is around 20-21degC, I tried to adjust temperature to be warmer to 24degC but it was not possible. The restaurant staff are polite and friendly especially the staff at restaurant reception. Good breakfast, plenty of choices, particularly I like the fresh juice/smoothies. Overall a comfortable stay and recommended.

Fantastic 2 nights stay. We had a junior suite and the room is spacious, clean and modern. Hotel is situated right next to Central train station and within walking distance to Karl Johan gate street. We wanna have special shout out to one of hotel front desk representative, Edel, her professionalism is 2nd to none. Assisted us with a smile from the minute we walked in and checked in to the last minute we checked out. She even went beyond to assist our personal issue in Norway by calling and speaking to authorities and explaining to us and all these were done with a smile from her. Edel thank you very much!

Very convenient. Facilities: Good and well-maintained. Cleanliness: Clean. Environment: Excellent and very convenient. Buses are also very convenient, including the train station, bus station, restaurants, museums, and my favorite hotel.

The location is excellent, the staff incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food, especially breakfast, offers a remarkable variety and, what's more, it tastes very, very good. The price is reasonable, or rather, cheap. The only downside: The rooms weren't cleaned once during our three days. Perhaps we overlooked this when booking and should have requested it. But we would definitely book this hotel again. Another suggestion for improvement (which doesn't affect our rating): There are fringe hanging from the armchairs, some of which are torn or ripped off. It would be a visual improvement if the fringe were removed completely.
