This hotel is one of convenience not luxury. The rooms are clean, the beds comfy and the staff friendly. Breakfast was disappointing with cold eggs and the baked beans had been there for a while. Stayed for 3 nights as my husband had work nearby so the location was great as I could still get the train into town easily.... More

This hotel was fantastic in several ways. Clean, well laid out room. Comfortable beds and pillows. Shower very nice with good water pressure. Staff enjoyable and helpful. breakfast is very good and well presented. Location may seem far out but only one train stop from the National theater and easy to get to. One criticism is that the bar is... More

This is located close to Skoyen train station. Rooms are quite small. But the staff at reception and restaurant are friendly. Check with reception whether any tour group is currently in and adjust your breakfast time accordingly.

Stayed here for a week. The good: Room was nice and clean. Staff was friendly. 5 minute walk to the train station (and my work). The bad: Overpriced. Breakfast wasn't that good. The evil: Tough luck with decent dining. Mc Donald's, Pepe's and Dolly Dimple's pizza are your only choices.

Well, just briefly, I wanted to give a thumbs-up to the refurnishing of rooms since I visited last November (at which time, I was quite disappointed). Very nice beds, in my opinion! The hotel is still rather industrially situated, but with a train station only 5 minutes away, getting into town is easy enough (forget cheaply - this is Norway).... More

If you are headed to Skoyen, then probably your only alternative for a hotel would be this Scandic, and therefore the only reason I have to choose it once and again. For first time travellers, Skoyen is far from downtown and also a less than ideal place to stay if you are going on vacations. The only food you will... More

The hotel is located in Skøyen, a relaxed and cosy area with plenty of cafés, shops and restaurants. 15 minutes walk from the Scandic Sjølyst hotel, you'll find popular Oslo attractions like Vigeland Park and the museums and beaches at Bygdøy. wireless internet in all public areas at no extra cost

I have used this hotel on several occasions for business due to the closeness to the office and if truth be told I now stay in central Oslo, not due to any negatives about the hotel but as there is nothing positive either (if that makes sense). All the rooms have showers only (not good if you like a bath)... More

Checking into Scandic Sjolyst during a week of training in the immediate vincinity, I was surprised to find the hotel quite worn and weary. I stayed in a 6th floor room, and while it was spacious and clean, lighting was quite poor and the bed left a bit to be desired. To top it all off, one of the two... More
