Which Scandic hotel in Oslo?

Posted by (SE Pennsylvania) on

I had planned to spend my last night at the Scandic at the airport, but it seems the Norway in a Nutshell luggage service doesn't deliver there.

They have a longish list, not just Scandic. I just need something simple (solo) and easy to get to the airport for an early afternoon flight to London.
Wish I could post a screenshot of the list, but I assume suggestions in the city will be on the list.

Choose OSLO and pick-up location to see the list

Look for a hotel close to the main Oslo station. There are two Thon Hotels close to the station - Thon Hotel Terminus and Thon Hotel Spectrum. Thon Hotels are similar standard to Scandic.

We were booked to stay at Thon Hotel Terminus in September 2022 but changed to the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel a few days before as I was recovering from COVID and my fatigue was terrible. Radisson Blu is very, very close to the station.

It's a really easy train ride from Oslo central station to the airport. It takes around 25 minutes. We caught an R10 regional train. There is also an anirport express train - Flytoget - but it is an only a couple of minutes faster than the regular trains and quite a bit more expensive.

EDIT: just checked your list and both the Thon Hotels I mentioned are on it. If you want a lower cost option (but a tram ride or 15 minute walk to the station) the Anker Hotel is pretty good. My nephew (26) has stayed there a couple of times.

I'd suggest Scandic Victoria, close to Aker Brygge and the city hall. As well as close to Nationaltheatret for your flight.

Also, Oslo is in Norway, not Denmark.

Thank you!
Looks like there are good possibilities, I'll decide in a day or 2.

I had to have a look at the Radisson blue, and decided I needed a view room for my last day in Norway.
Thanks, I think...

Radisson Blu Plaza would not be my choice, it is located in a rather boring part of the city. If you just need a place to sleep en route, then it will do. But I'd suggest staying in a more interesting part of Oslo. Remember, there are train to the airport from Nationaltheatret as well.

We had spent a week in an apartment in Grunerlokka and then just spent our last night in the Radisson Blu to use up some points and because we wanted a hotel with breakfast before an early flight. Agree that it was a boring part of toen compared with Grunerlokka, but it worked really well for catching a train to the airport at 6:30am. And we enjoyed using the pool and gym before 34 hours travel time home to Australia.

I will have spent some time in Oslo earlier in the trip. On this stop I will be arriving quite late and leaving before noon. Ease of connections is the top priority.
