Hotel Scandic Vulkan

Maridalsveien 13A, 0178 Oslo, Norway –

*8.9* Mathallen Oslo: only 1 minute away! (250 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Scandic Vulkan – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Good location, in a hip and upcoming part of Oslo, but also not far from city center.

Omar, United States of America

Fantastic breakfast buffet and large dining room were a plus. We paid extra for a takeout box which we filled ourselves for picnic lunches since the weather was so nice. The decor is fun and eclectic. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but an easy walk to the efficient bus lines. A food market with restaurants and take out (high quality) is across the way. There is a waterfall and river a five minute walk away with a beautiful stand alone restaurant nearby that makes you feel like you are on the middle if nature! Would definitely stay there again and would definitely recommend. Fun artwork!

Judith, United States of America

Cool location and good breakfast. Room quite standard, would put them on the lower bracket for being Scandic though - small and compact room, modest lobby.

Julius, Netherlands

Great location, beautiful room full of light, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Best hotel breakfast ever!

Andrzej, United States of America

Provided room as requested, twin beds as required. Room was quiet, front desk personnel were helpful and appreciative. You felt welcomed. I saw other reviews who complained about proximity to the city center. Walk a block, catch a city bus that will drop you to a tram stop if needed or other easy connection to anywhere in the city. We changed bus once to go the Viking ship museum that dropped you at their door. The museum is a little further out so having the bus take you there and return you to the city center was convenient. Returning to the hotel was just as easy. Day passes or single destination tickets were easy to get at the terminals that offered English displays for purchasing your tickets. The hotel is situated next to the farmers market gourmet foods and restaurants offering all types of food choices.

Gerald, United States of America

Great breakfast buffet and very friendly staff! And great pizza and the restaurant!

Allene, United States of America

It's in the best place in oslo, the food market area, which is a 15 min walk from downtown. Comfortable spotless.

Nicholas, Canada

The breakfast spread was unreal. Will stay at another Scandic property because it was such a great stay.

Karen, United Kingdom

Convenient location! Clean room and nice breakfast buffet.

Location is good, but make sure to ask for a room facing the park. Ups the overall experience.

I would have liked there to be tea & coffee making facilities in the rooms. There was in the lobby but you had to pay for each cup! I would have preferred larger towels in the bathroom. They were a bit teeny.
Wide range of options at breakfast with fantastic fresh bread. Great styling of the rooms and lobby. Good views from the room. Really clean and comfy room.

The square in front and the area right next to the hotel were very slippery due to ice. In a country that faces frosty weather many times a year, I would expect that a hotel would take measures at least for the area belonging to their property in order to prevent guest from falling.
Clean and comfortbable rooms, friendly staff, good breakfast

Nothing negative to say. I was very happy with absolutely everything. Just be aware that the lobby is on the 4th floor.
When I made a mistake with my booking, despite of the non-refundable charge, the booking.com helped me in an amazing way and I was able to get to my planned reunion. Thank you, booking.com! The hotel is in the new location with a number of funky restaurants and pubs. Close to the bus stop and 10 mins walk to the central station. If you have time, get up for the breakfast. There are not many places I have stayed where the food and its choice were of such quality. Highly recommended

Breakfast was and looked great but, A real let down was staff cleared it all away at 9:30 sharp, we had only just sat down so really limited what we could eat. We’d arrived before breakfast had closed at 9:20 so they should have left things out until guests had finished. We had to take things off trolleys while staff were trying to take it away. At least wait until people had finished before cleaning up.
Staff amazing. Friendly helpful. We lost a passport, they couldn’t do more to help, phone calls, taxis. Hotel is spotless, room was clean. Although basic. Good location, lovely looking hotel.

The breakfast experience was disappointing. The food selection compared poorly with other hotel breakfasts on our Norwegian trip and the service staff seemed overworked- food replenishment and table clearing seemed disorganised and slow.
Friendly helpful staff, modern eclectic fit-out, clean and comfortable room and great location

The pillows are much too soft for me (I eventually took the pillow case off one and put it on a cushion to sleep better). I have never liked Scandic's 'School meal area' type of breakfast layout with long communal table/benches to sit at - with people nudging you as they get by and sit next to you at the breakfast bench.
I liked the breakfast - could even have an almost full English breakfast. Liked that it was easy (for my purposes) to get to the client I was visiting. Liked that it is very close to a great 'Food court' area. The staff in the 'school meals area' (see my -ve comments) were very good and fast at ensuring the benches (oh sorry -tables) were quickly cleared.
