Excellent location not very far from the city center. Clean rooms and walkable to transportation. Great breakfast. Special thanks to Abida in the breakfast room. She was extremely kind, professional and caring.
This was our second time staying at Scandic Vulkan. It is in the perfect location to explore the entire city. The staff are very friendly and breakfast is excellent!
The hotel is modern and laid out very well. The rooms are clean and very quiet with thick double glazing. The room was warm too which was good as cold outside. We didn’t like the ‘separate duvets’ on the double bed but apparently this is a Norwegian thing. Not having any wardrobe or drawers was odd but luckily only a few days so kept things in the suitcase or on the small space for hangers. Breakfast was wonderful, highly recommended.
The facility is immaculate. The breakfast was amazing. The staff was helpful and polite. Our dinner in the restaurant was welcomed after a very long day of travel.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Vulkan, the staff were friendly, there were plenty of places to eat/drink nearby and the walk into town was very easy. The breakfast was amazing!
Scandic is a great hotel chain and this one was no different. Friendly, multi lingual check-in. Free coffee. Even gave us a room a couple of hours early.
We had such an amazing stay here. The breakfast is amazing, our room was very clean. It’s about a 20min walk to the centre. The only con is that the room could not be colder than 22 degrees Celsius - you should be able to adjust the temperature in your hotel room within a range. Our other scandic in Sweden allowed you to go to 18 degrees.
Nice small hotel, we stay for a concert at vulkan Arena and it was so convenient that the s around the corner.
Breakfast was very good.
I would stay again.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, convenient to sites and public transport. It was a great walking area, an interesting and safe place next to lots of restaurants and shopping. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful! A great stay.
the area was quiet and everyone was so nice and helped me out when I needed it. I was there for about a week and I enjoyed it a lot. They have food options around which is at the bottom of the steps near the hotel that was nice. Everything was cleaned correctly when needed as well.
