Great location. Staff was helpful in every way. Breakfast was fantastic. No air in rooms so it was a little stuffy but they have fans. The halls n lobby have air. A tiny bit noisy with the buss trams but that didn’t bother us too much as we were out early daily to explore. Would stay here again for sure.

Everything was great in the hotel except 2things. First, I’m not sure if the hotel or Expedia is wrong, but I searched for the hotel with A/C and it’s showing that this hotel is on the list. When I checked in, the staff said they have no A/C. They have the small fan provided. They also recommended that we can open the window. However, when you open the window, you can hear the very loud noise of the tram. That was the second I would want to complain. Very disappointed

Although my friend and I had originally booked a room to share, we decided last minute to book two separate rooms. When we arrived and requested the change, it was handled quickly and efficiently (even though I had originally booked through a third party). Stefan and Olga at the front desk were so helpful and made our stay so enjoyable and provided any information we asked for. The rooms are not air conditioned, but even during the 90+degree heat wave the rooms were not unbearably hot. But be aware that there is NO guest regulated AC. Location was excellent with a 7-11 across the street, several good restaurants close by and short walking distance to transportation and sites. I highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is in a good location in that you can reach most of the sites in the city within a 10 to 15 minute walk. The breakfast is great and the staff is very helpful. I had a handicap so it was nice of the stop to upgrade me to a bigger room. Be aware if you have a handicap that there are a couple of steps you will have to navigate at the entrance of the hotel. Once you are inside the hotel, there are ramps where necessary.

Scandic Hotels are always different and unique and the Holberg was just that. The room was large, comfortable and well furnished. You can see the Radisson Blu tower from your window. It looks like hell on earth, tiny rabbit hutch generic corporate rooms. The Holberg has a bit of character !

Two Minor gripes: A coffee pod machine that needed a degree in engineering to work (and no Tea !) and The Trams.

The Holberg is on three major tram lines and the trams are frequent from 5am to 12pm. You edit it out after a while but that first tram of the morning is a rude awakening !

There are lots of local restaurants. Read the reviews and carefully think about making the extra effort to go downtown. The trams are frequent and regular and covered by your Oslo card or Ruter Pass.

One more thing: The RFB5 Flugbus goes from just across from the hotel direct to the airport. However, as with the FlugTrains, you can not buy tickets for these through Ruter despite them claiming that you can. Get the Tram to Oslo S and then the VY R12 NOK134 one way - half the cost and half the time. Only consider the FlugBus if you can't walk from the tram stop to Oslo S.

It was walking distance to shops, key attractions, and public transit. It was convenient that a train stops right outside the hotel, however on my last night it was too noisy for me and prevented me from getting a proper nights sleep. If I’m ever in Oslo again, I would definitely stay here!

We booked an economy double but our room was quite large with a balcony. The bathroom was too small. Bathroom door would need to be left open when sitting on the toilet.
Our room was on the street so was very noisy with the trams running until about 1am and starting again at 5am. We got very little sleep.
I asked at reception if it was possible for me to change rooms as I hadn't slept. It was then she told me that we had been upgraded on check in. The very nice receptionist gave me a room to look at on the 5th floor at the back of the hotel.
It was a smaller room but nice size bathroom and very quiet. I was happy. We slept well the 2nd night.
Breakfast in this hotel was lovely. Very nice staff topping up coffee.
Would stay again as long as it was a room to the back of the hotel.

Fantastic stay celebrating a special birthday

We had a fantastic stay at the Scandic Holberg.
I had emailed ahead to let them know that it would be our first visit to Oslo celebrating a special birthday.
I received a prompt reply saying they would try their best to accommodate my requests for a nice, quiet room.
We were warmly greeted at Reception upon arrival by Valentina, wishing me a Happy Birthday.
Our room was great...at the back & quiet. A pleasant surprise was a birthday message on the door & a muffin & candle with birthday message in the room.
The room was clean and quite spacious. The bathroom had a heated floor which was lovely.
The breakfast had a huge variety which was great. The only thing I would mention is that it wasn't very warm and could have been kept hot better. The addition of a toaster for bread would also have been good.
The location of the hotel was great.
All the staff were friendly and helpful.
Overall though, I would highly recommend this hotel.

The first room we were assigned had a faulty lock, and we were given a far more spacious room. The first we'd been given would have been tight. The light was great, and some might have minded the streetcar rumble, but it didn't go late into the night. The one radiator in the room tried hard, but it was quite chilly, though the duvets were adequate for the cold. My daughter, in a second room, noted blood on pillows, a marker for a bedbug infestation, but none appeared to be resident during our 3 night stay. Excellent sized elevator handled 3 and ample luggage, quite out of the ordinary. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. A comfortable lounge on the main floor where you could linger without pressure to buy drinks - romantically lit, so bring your booklight. Steps away from good Indian and Italian restaurants, the hourly airport bus, and all sorts of public transportation. Very close to palace and gardens.

The hotel has excellent location, major sights are within walking distance or few stops by tram. The breakfast is a real feast, a good selection of warm and cold dishes and perfect service. All staff are professional. The only negative point is the size of the room, even the bed is narrow for a couple. Another minor problem, there are only Norwegian, Swedish an Finnish cannels on TV.
