“My feeling is that it's a rare find: directly connected to both the central train station and a major shopping center, but still managing to offer a quiet, comfortable stay, according to what I read. I particularly like the sound of the excellent breakfast, and the hotel's commitment to sustainability with its Nordic Swan Ecolabel.”

Powered by AI
Scandic Byporten enjoys a superb location connected to Oslo Central Station's shopping center, making it convenient for transport, including the airport train. Guests appreciate the excellent breakfast with many options in a cool restaurant overlooking the plaza. The rooms are compact, but generally clean and modern, with some offering views of the water and the pier. Some guests have found the family rooms too small, but overall it's considered good value, with access to a gym and options like coffee makers in the rooms.

The staff were helpful on occasion. I needed assistance with directions.
My room was just SO cramped. I booked a double room, but it felt more like a single. There was hardly any space to move around, ESPECIALLY with luggage. It.

the location, i guess, were attached to a shopping center. that seems fine.
oh boy, where do i start? the room seemed like they forgot to clean it since last year. dust bunnies under the bed had families, and the air conditioning blew directly at the bed, so i were in constant fear of frostbite. plus, the thing did not turn off.

the location was excellent. it was attached to the central train station's shopping center. i could easily access the train without stepping outside (this was very convenient). breakfast was a standout (especially the selection). there were so many options in a cool restaurant overlooking the plaza.
The room was a bit small for a longer stay. with suitcases open, floor space was limited. the bed was two singles pushed together (it was still comfortable). i wish the staff had informed us about the room locking system.
