Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Dear Daniel Many thanks for your feedback. Hard for me to give a constructive feedback in regards to these subjective experiences. Very sorry to read you had the experience you mention. Not sure in regards to the sewage smell you are referring to as this has not been an issue lately as far as I know. I am glad the majority of our guest do appreciate our extensive breakfast but I am sorry to hear you found it poor. Have a great day. Best Theodor von Porat General Manager

Can’t recommend the Scandic Oslo city more highly! Whilst it isn’t luxurious, it is clean, functional and the staff are great! We had a huge family room which fitted the 3 of us nicely (my son said the sofa bed was comfy, as were the other beds) plus our three large suitcases. Not many hotel rooms can! The location is brilliant and central to transport and restaurants/bars etc. Our only suggestion, like with many hotels, is the lighting is very dim and this is a really large hotel so it’s a bit of rabbit warren to get to your room.

Stayed in a Standard Family Four room for two nights. The hotel had all the standard you can expect from an ordinary Scandic Hotel, including a nice breakfast. The room was spacious and clean. However, the light fixtures in our room was connected to both the bathroom and the bedroom, which meant that you couldn't turn on one without turning on the other. This was a huge problem when someone had to use the bathroom while the others were sleeping.

Dear guest Many thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear what you here describe and the inconvenience this led to. I am somewhat surprised though as this was a major issue before we renovated, but we changed this infrastructure in absolutely all rooms when we refurbished. Would love to know which room you were allocated in case there is a discrepancy isolated to this room. If you have any chance to contact us in regards to this I would be very grateful. oslocity@scandichotels.com Many thanks. Have a lovely day and welcome back. Best Theodor von Porat General Manager

I was a bit stressed when realizing that I would normally have to be at the hotel before 18:00 to be guaranteed my room. Luckily a quick phone call, solved everything, no hazzle. The room was clean, the breakfast was good, and the people working in the reception were very service minded.

The most comfortable, clean and friendly hotel I have stayed at in Scandinavia. Excellent location opposite all the central transportation hubs (bus, tram and subway) and opposite the shopping centre. Clean and comfortable rooms, good breakfast and friendly staff. Traveller hint - at breakfast the toaster is a small domestic toaster located beside the seeds and granola (so you don’t miss it if you are looking for it). I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great hotel at an affordable price just 100 meters away from Central Oslo Station. Comfy rooms and a very nice staff. We stayed for our honeymoon and they gave us a big room with a view upgrade as a gift. The breakfast is included and it is excellent, lots of options from salmon to different granolas and plenty of gluten free options. The location of the hotel is excellent right I’m the middle of the city center
