Top Oslo Hotel Reviews

Scandic Oslo Airport

Scandic Oslo Airport

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very clean and staff was super helpful. If you have the option to add on the breakfast- I HIGHLY suggest you do it. This is not a typical hotel spread with some bagels and watery eggs. This is an amazing spread with hot and cold foods. Lots of different breads, cold cuts, eggs (three different types). They have an “American” breakfast station. They also have a waffle stand, lots of yogurt and fresh fruits. Delicious coffee and tea choices. They even have a “kids corner”. Highly recommend!!!!"
