We stayed at the hotel for four nights and found all the staff very helpful and courteous. The room was a great size. Both the room and bathroom were very clean. The breakfast was absolutely fabulous. It was out of the center of town and was more on the quiet side, but was nicely located to access trams and busses. I would highly recommend this for a future trip.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Scandic Holberg. The room was gorgeous - spacious and I loved the sky lights bringing in natural light. The bed was very comfortable. The daily breakfast is amazing! Wonderful to see so many guests there each morning enjoying it. A highly recommended place to stay - close to the tram and local sites!

Clean, quiet, air conditioning, good breakfast, nice location near the Royal Palace near a good neighborhood (St. Hanshaugen is nearby). Standard sized room provided enough room for luggage and one chair for someone to sit, along with a fridge. It was also about a 10-15 min walk from the National Theater transit location, which was convenient. Recommend!

This is a super cute hotel and the staff was lovely and helpful and professional. It was hot as balls inside our hotel room and there is no central air. If temperature control is important to you, choose another hotel. The location was great, easy walk to everything. I would stay again, if I knew for certain the weather was going to cooperate.

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.
