Oslo Hotels

A comfortable night at the Plaza

Advantages: Comfortable bed, nice modern room, good location, close to airport transport
Disadvantages: No safe in the room, the automatic mini bar, crowded breakfast area

I stayed at Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel in December 2005 at room 919. The hotel is hard to miss in downtown Oslo. With its 37 floors it is Norway's biggest hotels and one of the tallest building in Oslo (if not the tallest). The location is not bad at…if you arrive at Oslo Central Station after taking the Airport Express train it only takes about 5 minutes walk to get to the hotel. I think it is the only Norwegian hotel that I have been to that has ...
...are bell boys in fancy red uniforms, flat screen TV's showing news, bars etc. The check in was fast when we were there even if the hotel was quite busy in connection with the Nobel Peace Price preparations. Remember that you have to use your card once you get into the elevator in order to be able to press the button to get to your floor. Our room had a combination of white neutral walls and a blue wall behind the bed. The floor had a blue carpet ...

Scandic KNA, great hotel

Advantages: Great Interior, Romms comfortable, Staff V healpful
Disadvantages: 15-20 min walk from bus terminal

We booked this through lastminute.com after searching for hours for hotels on internet, and what a great choice! The hotel itself is well decorated think it has recently been refurbished with great facilities. It has free internet access in the reception area, buffet breakfast has everythin cereal, all 3 types of milk, bread, cheese, salami, fruit, tea, coffee. The staff at reception are more than happy to help with any enquiry you may have. The ...
...didnt eat in there, the prices were in keeping with the rest of Norway!! The night we arrived it appeared that one of the function rooms had been hired so there were alot of people around, however the lifts and stairs cannot be used without a key card which ensures people not staying at the hotel cannot go up to the rooms. The rooms are modern with woodern flooring and heated flooring in the bathroom. There is a TV with some english channels with ...

Review of Scandic KNA Oslo City, Oslo

Location, location, location

Advantages: Very central location, ideal for public transport and exploring the city
Disadvantages: Can be noisy as it is so near the main station

...Still, the website for the Rica Oslo seemed promising and the hotel itself looked pretty smart, which in some cities is not always a given for accommodation so close to the main station. The location of this hotel is without doubt its greatest asset: no more than 5 minutes' walk separate the platforms for the Flytoget (Oslo airport express train) from the Rica Oslo reception desk. You head out of the front of the train station, cross the tram tracks ...
...The website for the Rica Hotels chain states that it is corporate policy to 'to welcome our hotel guests in the same manner as we would a dear guest in our own home' and I can confirm that the staff at the Rica Oslo were unfailingly friendly and polite, even when confronted with an unwanted visitor demanding to use what he regarded as the public toilets in the basement on the morning of my departure. The ground floor also houses the lobby bar, to ...

Review of Rica Oslo Hotel, Oslo

Norlandia Oslo Airport Hotel

Advantages: Breakfast was ok
Disadvantages: not close to the airport, small rooms, smelled funny, shower doors broken

...We chose the Norlandia hotel since it was called ‘Norlandia Oslo Airport Hotel’ and therefore thought it was a good choice since it was close to the airport. This was where my first gripe with the hotel came from.. once we had arrived we had to take a shuttle bus to get to the hotel, this cost us 60kr each one way (around £6) The airport is infact not so close to the hotel and took a 10 minute bus ride! In the morning we had to take the bus again, ...
...and from this ‘Airport Hotel’. Once we got to the hotel, checking in was easy. All we had to do was hand them out hotel booking confirmation we had been emailed and we were given our room key card. Despite there being two of us, we were only given one card. This was not a problem since we were only staying there overnight, but if we had been staying for longer I think one key card per person would have been better. Our room was on the third floor, ...

Review of Norlandia Oslo Airport Hotel, Oslo

The only serious choice

Advantages: Position, great staff, facilities, access, communications.
Disadvantages: Can't think fo one right now.

...your windows? I have. Quality Airport Hotel Gardermoen is 8 minutes by "flybus" to Gardermoen. The bus costs 60 Norwegian krones each way. It took me LESS THAN A MINUTE to get from my ground floor room to the bus top for the "flybus". Buses are frequent and with Gardermoen airport (OSL) being a well run, organised airport, as long as YOU are organised and use the electronic check in machines as you enter the terminal, you can drop of your luggage ...
...15 minutes after leaving your room. Great staff, no aircraft noise, great facilities, 8 minutes from the airport. There's really no competition. The hotel keeps on expanding but just gets bigger conferences booking themselves in there and has to make plans to expand again. The sign of a product that's more than competing! Every time I go there, I see the same companies having conferences there. It seems the hotel has a hardcore of customers who ...
