What's nearby

  • Vulkan Oslo: Mathallen Hall in Oslo is inspired by the great European food courts. Here you can find specialty shops, cafés and great places to eat. They pride themselves in food for foodies, craft cocktails and high quality (although not necessarily local) gifts. We were able to dine with friends with various dietary restrictions without any problems. #LikeALocal

The hotel is modern and laid out very well. The rooms are clean and very quiet with thick double glazing. The room was warm too which was good as cold outside. We didn’t like the ‘separate duvets’ on the double bed but apparently this is a Norwegian thing. Not having any wardrobe or drawers was odd but luckily only a few days so kept things in the suitcase or on the small space for hangers. Breakfast was wonderful, highly recommended.

We had such an amazing stay here. The breakfast is amazing, our room was very clean. It’s about a 20min walk to the centre. The only con is that the room could not be colder than 22 degrees Celsius - you should be able to adjust the temperature in your hotel room within a range. Our other scandic in Sweden allowed you to go to 18 degrees.
