Guests considered Scandic Byporten to have a perfect location for getting amongst all Oslo has to offer, since it is part of the train station complex itself and therefore handy for express trains to the airport, the shopping mall and other transport connections. People were also happy to find it to be central for Oslo exploring, with the Opera House, Karl Johan shopping street and many other attractions within walking distance.
The buffet breakfast appears to have plenty of delicious fare on offer, and in addition to the wide selection, is apparently served in a nice restaurant.
Despite the location next to the train station, the rooms proved to be quiet, as well as clean and comfortable, and guests also enjoyed the staff service, comfy lobby to relax in, and being able to borrow bikes for free.
