Scandic Vulkan sits at Maridalsveien 13 in Vulkan, a former industrial site on the Akerselva river that has become one of Oslo's most appealing small districts. Its neighbour is Mathallen, the food hall with more than thirty businesses selling Norwegian and international produce, and Grünerløkka, the city's cafe, bar and vintage-shopping neighbourhood, starts about half a kilometre away. The hotel holds the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, and the garage next door has a hundred electric car charging points. Inside, the Italian restaurant Ferro serves dinner from Monday to Saturday, breakfast is served daily, and the gym is always open. Room types run from compact singles to superior rooms and studios, which suit longer stays.
Location: the city centre is about a fifteen-minute walk and Oslo Central Station a short bus ride away. Follow the river path north for waterfalls and old mills, or south toward the centre.
Who it suits: food lovers, families who want space and value, and travellers who prefer neighbourhood life to the tourist centre. Eat at Mathallen at least once.
