The BastionHotel, Oslo, is independently owned and operated under the Best Western marketing group, and is certainly one of their smarter hotels, being officially classified as a four star establishment. The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the main city thoroughfare ?Karl Johansgate? and was refurbished, to much local acclaim from the press, during 2001.
Website and Booking
--------------------------
I booked the hotel, on line, approximately four weeks before my arrival date, having been attracted to the hotel via the website www.laterooms.com. My initial plan was to book the SAS Radisson Plaza and I had been watching their late availability rates, however this one grabbed me because of the attractiveness of its rate, and its interior, which was just that little bit different from the normal four star ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Bastion Hotel (Oslo)
Advantages: Comfortable airy rooms, good food, reasonably priced beer & cheap international telephone calls Disadvantages: Bad location, stuffy staff
The Bastion Amstel Deluxe Hotel was the final leg of an exhausting journey around the Netherlands visiting a range of Universities, and was to be our final stop for two nights before the onward journey with the KLM ?I believe I am a racing driver? Pilots.
Bastion is a Dutch chain which currently has 28 hotels across the Netherlands and one in Germany.
Arrival at the hotel quickly established that we were in the middle of nowhere, save for a petrol station next door, situated on a business site with an apparent direct metro connection to Centraal Station close by (actually about 15 minutes walk).
CHECK-IN
Nightmare ? 16 people all arriving in one go ? reception refused to check for individual names but insisted that we would all crowd around and wait for our names to be called out ? not a service you would expect from a 4 ...
I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal.
PRICE:
Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time ...
