The Vulcan area is conveniently located. The rooms are compact but contain all requirements.
Breakfast although self service is well managed, with an excellent food selection and has a peaceful morning vibe.
The Mathallen food and drinks area next store appears an excellent option for dining and socialising.

The room we had was showing its age a little, lots of scuff marks on the floor and no USB fittings in there, with scratches on the plug fittings. Our children noted the showerhead in their bathroom fell down a couple of times and couldn’t be tightened.

The breakfast spread was great though there was nowhere to sit, it was so busy. Shame there couldn’t be an overspill in the floor below or something. Good location near Grunerlokka and easy to get into the centre on a bus or a longer walk.

Nice Hotel, in an interesting district with great bars and cafe's. Really good Food Hall next to the Hotel. A short (2 stops) bus journey to the city centre or a 20 minute walk. Breakfast was excellent and all the staff very helpful and friendly.

When we arrived, it was raining and we thought we were in the middle of nowhere. The Hotel was a little blah from the outside.

However, as things cleared, we realized this is a pretty funky part of Oslo with a river running through it. Have dinners at the big food hall next door--they're delicious.

Walk on the river path.

Eat at Bonderibyen Olso, and check out the area.

Things were a bit rundown in the room. Outlets shedding, lamps not working, strange gaps in the listing.
And it would be nice if the spare toilet paper had some kind of cover around it.

Great hotel. Frequent visitor, great breakfast. My only gripe would be to have blinds instead of curtains that don’t quite have the reach to block out the light. If you’re staying in Oslo in June bring an eye mask.

The hotel, in general, is just ok. Positive: location and the awesome breakfast. Negatives: very small room; no amenities at all (not even a kettle, and they charge you for a cup of tea!); there's no wardrobe in the room or even space to keep your bag, I've found this very strange; room needs some maintenance; we opted for a daily 'refresh' cleaning, but all they did was to replace the bag in the bathroom bin.

Unfortunately me and my husband wished we had stayed at a different hotel. We checked in and were given a ground floor room next to the road. There was a half finished beer and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned.

This was quickly rectified by the member of staff however we were given a room again a few doors down next to a busy road. The room often didn’t lock when we first tried to close it. We were a little anxious leaving the room because of this. We had cleaning on the 2nd day and I am pretty sure the cleaner just remade our bed and took our bins away. We didn’t get clean glasses which had been used.

The door also to the corridor with ground floor rooms 401-406 did not lock properly which made us more apprehensive about leaving the room as it was easy access to people staying.

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.

The local area was a treat to explore; the river meandered into the city one way and the traditional houses allowed an alternative walk into the city. The bedrooms were basic and could benefit from a security box and tea making facilities. The mattresses were extremely soft.

A great hotel in Oslo. Walkable from city centre, maybe 15/20 minutes from Oslo S station. Great area with loads of bars/restaurants/shops and a nice park. Hotel was clean, modern, and staff were friendly & helpful. Breakfast was amazingly good. Only downside was poor Wi-Fi quality in hotel. Seems to be an issue in all Scandic hotels I stay in. Would have been 5 star review if Wi-Fi wasn’t so poor

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.

We had a good stay at the Vulkan although the room was looking a little “tired” round the edges. For a hotel that would be used by a lot of tourists, they had a strangely early breakfast time during the week - finishing at 0930! Location is excellent however with easy walking distance to Grunerlokka for great bars/restaurants and even into Oslo city centre along the Akerselva river.

Vi valgte dette hotellet på grunn av grei pris for en natt der vi ønsket å være i nærheten av Mathallen og Grünerløkka. Beliggenheten til dette er veldig bra. Hotellet bærer preg av å være slitent. Rommet var trist. Gulvet veldig stygt. Savnet kaffemaskin. Det trenger oppussing. Personalet virket også slitne, ikke så gjestfrie eller ivrige. Frokostsalen også litt slitt, men selve Frokosten er bra. Strømmen gikk på hele hotellet to ganger ila kvelden/natten. Det er liksom ikke så stas.

Vi sov 2 netter i Oslo, kom på hotellet og ble møtt av en resepsjonist som ikke var imøtekommende, hjelpsom eller noen ting.
Står på nettsiden deres at vi kan få parkering for 300kr natten men fikk bare frekt tilbake at det hadde ikke resepsjonisten noe med og gjøre og dere ikke hadde noe med parkeringen og gjøre. Selvom det står skrevet her. Prøvde og vise til hva det sto på hotels men det var resepsjonisten ikke noe interessert i, og sa bare hvor vi skulle gå.

Pros: The room was very clean when we entered, the breakfast was absolutely amazing, and the staff were very kind and helpful.

Cons: We didn't get any slippers, even when asked they said \"we are ECO friendly\".Housekeeping only changed the bathroom towels and emptied the trash, bed sheets/blankets weren't changed nor was the floor wiped/vacuumed. I personally don't mind if the bed isn't made everyday, but not cleaning the floor is pushing it especially when you don't get any slippers.
