We liked our room, comfy bed, great bathroom, and the staff were amazing from the first welcome when we walked in the door, to helping us with any inquiries. The complementary breakfast is out of this world, and because we had to leave very early on our last morning, they offered us a boxed breakfast to take away. It was a bag of lovely things that pretty much lasted us all day! Thanks Scandi Grendel!!

Chosen for its proximity to the club I was going to. Friendly staff, warm room, comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Breakfast excellent. Only downside the state of the clean but needing renewing carpets.

We were a group of about 10 people staying at Scandic Grensen. Had a long great breakfast with friends in very nice surroundings. Rooms and service excellent. Absolutely the place to stay in the center of Oslo city. We will all be back in 2025.

It`s a really practical location for a hotel in Oslo, great for visitting all the attractions in the city center and getting to public transport for other attractions. We were lucky and got a room on the top floor with a nice view, appreciated that

The breakfast was fantastic!!! The location was great-just a block off the the main pedestrian zone and between the train station and national museum. Room and bathroom were small, but nice and the bed was comfortable. Only negative was that the carpet in the room and hallways were pretty stained and could really be replaced.

Never going to book at this hotel again. The rooms was disgusting with hair in the shower, and I got new room and again I found hair lots of dust and food rest on the desk. 2 separate room be dirty it’s kinda overdue. With that price I expected much better from scandic. So disappointed. Never ever again. Your breakfast egg was cold I was there 06:40, 10 minutes after it opened.

Utrolig bra at jeg kunne sjekke inn så sent (01:30). Veldig stille, behagelig seng. Badet begynner å bli slitt.

Sehr zentrale Lage, die perfekt ist um alles Sehenswerte in Oslo zu Fuß zu erreichen. Gute Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffet. Das Zimmer war zur Nebenstraße raus, aber man konnte den anliegenden Pub/Bar noch deutlich hören und somit nur mit geschlossenem Fenster schlafen. Insgesamt würde ich 4/5 Sternen vergeben.

Besonders gut hat mir das Frühstück und die Lage gefallen. Es ist sauber und das Personal sehr freundlich. Im Flur könnte allerdings der Teppich ausgetauscht werden. Das Zimmer war klein und gemütlich. Alles war sauber.
