Popular Oslo 4-star Hotels

So good that it was a bit unexpected. Most hotels in northern Europe are small, but this one is quite spacious. The building is relatively high, and the scenery is very good. The breakfast is rich and there are staff who can speak Chinese. Five stars praise. There is a bus to the airport right in front of the hotel.

Arrived on our ferry from Copenhagen before lunch so left luggage and wandered until checkin was possible. All so good so far. When we came to check in we asked to make sure the room didn’t have feather bedding - assured it was clear of feathers, however when went up to room this wasn’t the case. Went down, explained at which point after many discussions (explaining that I’m allergic to feather bedding over and over (as we had with the booking) I was offered another room which apparently was better (but the guy on reception didn’t seem to understand my question as to whether the new room would be free from feathers ….!) Went up to the room and of course it had feather bedding. We moved all of our luggage into the new room and my OH went down to reception this time and the same guy simply didn’t understand what we were explaining so OH requested another member of staff who did understand second time around. (Later bedding was all replaced which was then fine. ) the surprising thing was they had members of staff on reception whose English wasn’t quite up to basic requests (unusual for anywhere in Scandinavia) (while admitting my Norwegian is non-existent!) The bathroom was possibly the smallest I have ever witnessed, albeit it did have a bath with shower over. All v clean and fully functional. The pool and sauna were ok but a little small, but if you timed it you could use them. Generally the staff were a little slow (perhaps the hotel doesn’t have enough staff currently to service guests?) and service alone would put me off coming to stay here again unfortunately.

Super location. Right next to oslo city mall and central station and all transport and entertainment food options. This is a modern hotel (or very thoroughly renovated). Entrance was very busy or maybe because I was there at around 2 pm. Very nice looking lobby with lots of seating spaces and good vibes. An Andy Warhol is a. Ice touch. Check in was smooth but room was not ready so I kept my bags in their bag room. It was ready when I came back at around 240. Elevator is a combination of using your card and entering your floor on a touch screen so don’t just hop in with someone else. Room was really modern, hip and user friendly. Smart tv, lots of storage spaces and big bathroom. The view was of the inner courtyard so not much. Bed was very comfortable and really overall liked the room a lot. Depending on your room number it could be a bit of a walk from the elevator so keep that in mind. I tried out the basement level which had sauna, pool, gym. Gym looked good but didn’t use and the sauna was very nice. The pool is round, very small and about the only negative of the hotel. Forget laps, you can sort of float around but even that becomes a problem if 2 or 3 people are in there. I wanted to see the views from the top so went to their restaurant and must say had a wonderful time. I wrote a separate review on Norda but suffice to say it was well worth the visit just for the views alone and the food was very good as well. Finally the breakfast was something else. Honestly I doubt if anyone can try out all the dishes as there are so many. Quality stuff I must add, different types of salmon, avocado halves(!) and what not. Really something to behold. Overall though definitely not cheap, I really liked the modern aesthetic, the prime location and excellent room facilities and the breakfast and Norda were just icing on the cake.

I booked this hotel based on reviews saying that it was quite centrally located. And for the most part it is. The central train station is a 17-minute walk with luggage. But once you get to the hotel, there are steps and curbs. We came in from the airport in a taxi. (Avoid. The fare can give you a heart attack or a fine dining meal.) My luggage had broken and so I had to lug my, well, that's the reason they call it luggage. It's quite a walk from the taxi stand. We had to circle the hotel as the driver was not familiar. The rooms are small painted black and purple/reddish that seemed to be intentionally dramatic as the hotel is across the passageway from a theatre. It gave the room a dark tone and an Alfred-Hitchcock-Psycho sense. The toilet is in a smaller room separate from the bathroom sink and shower. I thought that the hotel tried to compensate. The breakfast was the best in my visit to seven cities. Then, included in the hotel package, was an afternoon tea and a dinner. The dinner was homey--salad, soup, fish, fries and soft drinks. If you are so minded, it could be a dinner. Staff were helpful. We had an issue with the room and after explaining the staff said: I do not really understand but let me come up and see how I can help. In contrast, some staff in other hotels have simply shrugged their dhoulders.

Hotel location is very good, next to the train station, the service is also very in place, I will set a person's bed is 20m2 big bed room, the result is told that it is a single bed room (the cheapest file only 15m2). Due to the midnight in China, the hotel also helped me upgrade in the spirit of people-oriented. This kind of thing is not the first time on the website. My friend used to have a similar thing overseas. It took a long time to get it done and delayed the trip. If the guest staying in English is not English, it is awful. I don’t know if the agent of the website is doing rough things or using this technique.

Wonderful! Award-winning design. Scandinavian design at its best. Biggest bathrooms you have ever seen, wonderful, thoughtful staff and clean, clen, clean. It is off the beaten path - not close to downtown and toursit attractions, but if you want to see part of Oslo most tourists do not see - and you will be rewarded by getting off the beaten path, take the Metro here - it's close by -- and enjoy Oslo at its best.

This facility created solid value for my wife and I visiting our son's family here last September, and for me again this May. Located immediately adjacent to both the Tube and bus stops is hugely efficient for getting around, which is rarely more than 5-6 Rube stops or 6-8 bus stops. The ability to use both systems at a single location is great. The 'built-in' shopping complex, and the overall adjacent restaurants, create a 'village' feel that really keeps the travel time, cost and effort down. The riverside walk, especially down the Aker river to the harbourfront, makes for a long ”downtown” day, but it's so worth it. And I'm 75, recovering from 2 knee-replacement surgeries!

Hotel location is good. Went at Christmas, next to the Christmas market and the city's commercial streets. Most of the popular attractions are within walking distance. Five minutes walk to the pier to take a cruise, the pier view is also very good. In other aspects of the hotel, the service is very good, the rooms are relatively large, the bathroom floor has underfloor heating, and the breakfast is plentiful.

My husband, two adult sons, sister, her husband and I travelled here for my sisters 50th birthday. Did not know what to expect from the hotel as is in the city centre so could be hit or miss. Did not have to worry at all. The staff are absolutely amazing and could not do enough for us. The buffet breakfast set us up for the day. The rooms were spacious and clean and had a mini fridge. Also small ironing board and iron in the rooms should you wish you iron! Water on tap available in the lobby, in the restaurant, in the gym and in the lounge and all had a choice of still or sparkling water. Along with a variety of Nespresso coffee pods. Could not tell that the hotel was in the middle of the centre. Brilliant location and place to chill with the train station within walking distance. If we were coming back to Oslo, this is where we would stay as everything you need and want is close by. Made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!
