Buskerud Ski Holidays

The Scandic hotels pride themselves on being very directive. i.e. hang your towel on the hook, we won’t clean your room unless you ask us etc I found the room utilitarian. No carpet, so cold underfoot. No ability to control bathroom light which lit the room like a stadium when you walked through the door. So using it at night when you’re mostly still asleep and would prefer to stay that way is an eye opening experience. Bathroom had no towel bars, just aforementioned hooks so wet towels stayed damp. No washcloths, just hand towels. No shelves to put your stuff on just a weird ladder thing from IKEA. No shower mat and no grab bar in shower. I think they should have all those things given the price. Upside was enormous breakfast buffet and nice staff.

Communication through the app wasn’t great especially when we could access the the front door.

Thus was a great place for just a few days in the city.

Everything was great including location !

Beautiful modern property, very clean and I love the smell in the whole place. Location was perfect and Oslo in general feels like a very safe and walkable city. As many of the reviews said, it is quite self-sufficient, which I didn’t mind. There was always a girl to help give info at the front during normal operations. My only issue would be with the price…I felt for as much as you have to do yourself, it should have been cheaper.

This hotel is a classic, historic, stunning building. The staff, from the doorman to reception to the restaurant, are all exceptional. Always eager to do whatever they can to elevate your experience.

Beautiful facility in a posh waterfront setting. Great restaurants and close to all the sights. Public transport was super easy to use.

This is a great hotel, better than the other five star hotel I stayed in Oslo a week ago. The rooms are very nicely decorated and clean. The staff is extremely helpful. Alexander at the front desk is one of the best i have met. My son accidentally broke the glass lamp in the room. They sent people to our room to clean up in the mid of the night. The lamp is not cheap. I offered to pay for the damage. Alexander said no need. It was an accident. It happens. I highly recommend this hotel.
