We had a fantastic time. Highlights were the two day kayaking trip and the overnight Trolltunga hike. We were also very impressed with the transportation throughout. Seamless transfers and really nice trains and busses. We walked around Oslo and Bergen and enjoyed our urban experience. Great time all around.

Not my favorite. Check in took 45 minutes. Our first room had a toxic smell and we had to change rooms.

Hotel lost our reservation and claimed to be fully booked until they miraculously found an available room. Room was tiny. I don’t think Scandic would be my first choice hotel.
