...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 a international feel when you walk into the reception: there 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.

...The Victoria Park Plaza in London is an amazing hotel that has very comfortable, quality rooms and staff who are friendly and professional.

...bad but with slow staff .....nightmare. We where lucky to get an upgrade to a mini suite, but again the room wasnot very nice.The king bed was lumpy, and the room as well as the rest of the hotel needed refurbishment in my opinion.The main problem was noise of the traffic and air con units in the room.General lack of maintainance was also a problem as both the sink and coffee maker had problems. Ive stayed at a lot of Radissons in my time and would have said until this hotel that they are an excellant chain offering first class service.This hotel was a let down and should not have the Radisson name, as Radisson is a chain I link with QUALITY and this hotel didnot have any of this!!!.Ths only good thing to point out is that this hotel had a burger king straight across the road...shame the staff there didnot speak english...
