Hotel Scandic Vulkan

Maridalsveien 13A, 0178 Oslo, Norway –

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

Lock in a great price for Scandic Vulkan – rated 8.3 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

Excellent location for Vulkan Arena and plenty of places to eat around as well great restaurant in hotel.

Derek, United Kingdom

I picked up Scandic Vulkan because of the location and was really impressed by this hotel. Everything was perfect to our needs. The breakfast was very good and not crowded as I expected it to be since it was winter holiday week. The location is excellent, literally on top of Oslo's Mathallen. Not very far from Oslo center though, one can walk even during winter. But there are many buses to and from center all the time. The reception area has a library for anyone to enjoy. How cool is that?

Hotelandpets, Norway

good,but the knives was not good,they hav to bee sharpend.

Jan, Norway

Great location in a calm but modern part of the city, great both in summer and winter. The room was bigger than expected, beds super comfy and bathroom very clean. Pretty elaborate, nice breakfast buffet. For Norwegian standards quite affordable, especially given the quality of the hotel.

- • Business trip

- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The furniture in the lobby and in the room was worn out. It was even unpleasant to sit down in the lobby, it seemed that the furniture (pillows) smelled. The view from room's window was on the inner yard - like a shaft. And yard was dirty and uncared-for - view was miserable.
Friendly staff, clean room, excellent breakfast.

“Sterile and expensive 3 star hotel that used to be better”

Very uninviting room - cold sterile feeling to it. No wardrobe to hang up suit or dress but a ‘clothes rack’ set too low so that trousers/dress are partially on the floor (hope the room cleaner didn’t go over trouser with her mop! I am bald headed so I don’t know where the hairs came from in the bathroom sink! Didn’t change bed sheets. TV system obviously new as still needs adjusting. Very expensive bar - 1 carlsberg lager in 33cl bottle and glass red wine (normal Italian Valpolicello + 1 packet crisps = 275 nil ( approx £ 20) is a rip off
The breakfast was good

Oslo is famously and ruinously expensive. It wouldn't be fair to blame the Vulkan for that. I do miss mini-bars, though.
Location, location, location. The Vulkan is on the edge of Oslo's hippest area and overlooks a handful of trendy eating locations. Like the rest of the city it's within easy walking distance of the public transport system, too.
