Great location, good room with great view towards a central place.

I think the key attraction here is it's location which is very strategic. The hotel is in the shopping center with the Oslo Central Station right at the next door. Very recommended if you're planning to explore the city just by walking.

The location is great, right in the shopping center and train station near by, you barely need to walk far to get anywhere. Views are OK, since my room was on the 4th floor, I didn't get the best views like people on the higher floor would get. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was excellent, wish I had that type of breakfast every day. (Breakfast is served at the restaurant near by). Wi-Fi worked great, no issues.

Place is extremely quiet at night not a single noise, but i could hear my neighbors during the day though and in the corridor.

It's not the cheapest option. Room could be cleaned more consistently (ie I had a dead bug on the window sill, that never been cleaned up during my entire stay, even though it was clearly visible)

Good hotel near the Central station. Easy to reach 20 minutes from airport by train. Comfortable rooms with all comfort. Quiet. Restaurant in adjacent Egon restaurant

Hotel in the middle of Oslo city, next to the railway station and a shopping mall. Perfect for taking city exploration trips. We had a family room with 4 beds, it was okay for sleeping but we wished it was a bit more spacious. Breakfast is next door at Egon's and very good. Facilities in the hotel are limited, there's a lounge and a small gym.

I'd stay in a Scandic anywhere. Professional, full service, with a nicely appointed if tiny room. Best of all - and I apologise if this is a secret - free onsite laundry of you're willing to babysit it in the housekeeping area.

If you want a good hotel for business that is relatively cheap and centrally located for Oslo you could do a lot worse than this one. That said this is a no-frills hotel so don't expect the Ritz-Carlton

Nice location, close to the station and shopping areas.
Best breakfast buffet ever!
Good comfortable rooms.

Now it is five, I've spent some time here on 3 different occasions and the last time on the top floor with an extremely beautiful view to the city. Amazing. 😎

Excellent location in Oslo Central Station area with great communication just outside the door.
The rooms are modern and comfortable.
Complimentary breakfast is simple but good, may be a bit crowded in "breakfast rush hour".
Overall a very nice hotel and I will most likely be back.

Great location at the Central Station. Comfortable with great breakfast options.

Excellent location, nice rooms and very complete breakfast.

It can occasionally be confusing; the fact there are two individual Scandic properties directly across the street from one another. This Scandic - the Byporten is the one directly attached to the shopping centre and railway station.

When you first enter, especially during a late afternoon, you might think you've made a huge mistake as you try to wind your way through swirling crowds of young people, gathering in the 'Bar' area of the hotel. The truth is that there's no difference between Reception and the Bar... hence the confusion.
I had booked and pre-paid for a 'suite' for my daughter and myself just after the Christmas weekend. I booked direct through the Scandic fidelity scheme called Scandic Friends. Yet, regardless of my perfect use of the miracles of modern technology, the clerk at reception claimed we had no reservation. Despite spelling my simple surname three times, she kept insisting we had no reservation. She demanded my passport, which I politely handed over, along with my mobile phone showing the email confirmation we received from Scandic. She typed the booking number in and voila! We had a booking.
Neither of us had to walk any further than the small bathroom because we could see the single beds pushing into the hallway....
Back to reception we went...I pointed out that I had prepaid for a 2-room suite with separate bedrooms.. The clerk perused the details, then excused herself, disappearing into the back. Eventually she returned, saying nothing to either of us and began typing again on her computer console....She then handed me a new key and told me we were now on different floors.
I've attached the photos of the room. I'm not sure if you're familiar with France's often memorable (for all the wrong reasons) Formule 1 Hotel chain, or perhaps america's often dubious Motel 6 properties.... This Scandic (as well as the above mentioned hotel groups) are the Ryanair's of hoteliers. It's like pay your fifty bucks, pick up your folding chair and you're on your way!
Several months before we stayed at the 'other' Scandic across the street. I really enjoyed it. It was intimate and it was certainly minimalistic, but it, in my opinion, was far nicer than its sister hotel. If you're looking for mid-range quality, or upper-range quality, choose a Thor hotel or one of the Radissons.
We cut our stay short, thankfully. I must say, however, that the breakfast, served across the entrance from the Scandic was lovely and plentiful! That I certainly do recommend.
We love Norway. We truly do and we both recognise that occasionally mistakes can happen. However, at this Scandic there were simply too many mistakes. During the night we started to exit our room to go downstairs for a bite to eat and immediately I found myself trying to catch myself as I fell over a portable vacuum someone had left literally against our door. And if you look at the photos, you may or may not agree that for a 'suite,' there's very little there to suggest that the amount you paid was commensurate with what you've paid for.
Sorry Scandic - for this particular property I must give it a pass & a fail. In fairness of reporting I must say the following morning we received a call from a Duty Managers. He was apologising for the problems and how we had been treated at registration (we never complained to anyone, so it must have been another employee who witnessed what happened.) He told me that we should ask for him when we came down to check-out. It turned out that he was the very person manning the desk when we checked out. He again apologised and said he was going to make an adjustment on our bill. I thanked him, saying it wasn't necessary. But he disagreed and said it was important for them to do this. Interestingly, I waited a couple of months to see if a credit ever came back onto my Amex card....nothing materialised. Oh well.
Don't be influenced by my comments when coming to Norway. It's an amazing country with even more amazing people! Whether we're in Oslo, Bergen, Tromsø or anywhere else. The moment we land, we feel we're at home!

I had a really nice stay here during a 2 day trip to Oslo. Location is super convenient - right inside Byporten centre next to the central station, also with great views of the city from the rooms. Everything was clean and safe with all basic amenities needed. Staff were really welcoming and helpful. Breakfast served at the Egon restaurant next door was delicious!

Kind ,quiet if you have luck with neighbours.(thin walls,rooms close to each other).Public transport is literally next to you(transport hub with metro,buses etc are a few steps away), also very convenient as everything is close as it shares the building with a shopping mall/train station,. Delicious and full breakfast .Overall good quality food service.

Ok hotell with a good position for getting to public transport. Very friendly employees. Also well placed for getting into the city center.

Location was brilliant, right beside the train station and the main city shopping areas. Staff very friendly. Had booked a standard double room but for some reason was given a family room with fold up bunk beds. As the room was small the beds being down left the room really compact, took a while to figure out how to fold it up but once that was up I had no complaints

Very good hotel in a central location serving nice breakfast. If you need a train to get to the office or other places, a really good choice.

Flott service, hyggelige folk. Rene rom, grei pris, og kort vei til alle offentlige transport

Ideally located in close proximity to Oslo Central, the Scandic Byporten is a superb 'resting house' when you are in town (Oslo) on business or enjoying a break.
It is walking distance from the City Centre. The trains, buses and trams all pass by regularly.
Breakfast is great (am not a breakfast eater but sparse or big meals are both on offer) inside a 'wooden building' that reminds me of a 'saloon in the WIld West'.
Courteous service delivered with a smile at all times.

Scandic Byporten is located very good. The parking facilities is good and good communication. Temperature is adjusted from reception but immediate answer and adjustment did the trick. The staff is flexible when reservations are made and the breakfast at Egon next door is of high quality. WiFi is also really good.

Just as expected: Great breakfast, good clean room, helpful staff.

The staff was excellent, helpful & friendly. The location is very central and our hotel room was great. Will definitely stay again!

Great location. Near shops/stores/restaurant. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms are fine for a few days in Oslo.

Nice modern hotel. Room was small, but clean and modern. Central location.

Rooms too hot! Turned down when asked. Good breakfast. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff.

I like the hotel. Good breakfast, Wifi works, well and the staff is very welcoming and service minded. The location makes it easy to travel to and from other venues as well. The hotel also have a cosy bar.

We stayed here one night for a concert. Our previous stay here was excellent, but this time unfortunately it was not. We had a superior extra room, and these should include bathrobes, but we hadn't received any. We called the reception and they said they would bring them. When they didn't come we called again and were told it could take some time. Poor service! We had paid for a room that were supposed to include bathrobes. And another unfortunate incident, in the middle of the night, we awoke by dripping water on my head.. A water leak caused by a drunk guest on the floor above. Not the hotels fault! We were provided with another room promptly, however it was a smaller room (full hotel, we are waiting to hear back about compensation) An eventful night to say the least. Everything else was all right, the breakfast was excellent as always on Scandic.

Wonderful day thank you for everything love laurie pippenger

The hotel is well located and the breakfast was quite nice. The room was confortable with heated floor in the bathroom. The only thing we did not like was the design of the bedroom.

Hotel is the heart of the Oslo, train and bus station is near.Expecially Flip is so helpfull and friendly person. thanks to him. the room is a little cold so they gave us extra heater. Maybe room can be alittle bigger :).

Ok! A bit small rooms but very close to the train station. Nice breakfast

Can't get more central than this, although the entrace is hard to spot. Clean rooms, excellent breakfast, friendly staff.

Great Location, Good food, good service. Less breakfast options, small rooms.

Nice lobby with great breakfast! Breakfast was excellent with very fresh produce and a wide spread of cheese.

Nice. Fair price. Very close to the opera. Mall nearby. Not fancy and stuff but really got location. Nice breakfast restaurant attached.

The hotel is fresh with modern interior. The staff are kindly and they offer free WiFi, gym and a great breakfast. The buss and train station, Oslo spectrum or the tram station are at most a five minute walk away.

Unfortunately are the "big beds" only two 90cm beds pushed together and they have a tendency to separate during the night...

Great location but breakfast is on the other side, quite far.

Next to station. Small rooms but good value for Oslo

Pretty good hotel, very good location.

Nice rooms, awesome breakfast.

The hotel and the rooms are very clear, the staff is friendly and helpful. Everything is very close and you can buy food and drinks in the shopping center in the very near. Had no problems at all.

The hotel was pretty good and also the facilities. The most useful things are the market inside the hotel and the train station very near. Just 4 stars because once they forget to clean the room

Not great. Rooms small and cramped, double rooms aren't (two singles jammed together), and hallways feel like a jail. Needs a severe revamp.

Stressing and with lots of expensive shops. Junkies just outside the door. Serves in many cases as a way to get from the trams to the trains without getting wet on a rainy day.

The bathroom was ice cold and the other room was way too hot. Breakfast was at Egon's - a place not suited for a ton of hotel guests at the same time. Too cramped and chaotic. But the food was OK.

Nice Scandic standard hotel, few meters from the central station. Didn't eat there because of late arrival and leaving very early.
