Hotels Near Brannvakten in Oslo

This hotel is well located to explore Oslo. The breakfast buffet is large, varied and excellent. The staff are friendly, but could be better informed to help guests with their questions. Rooms are relatively spacious with a. funky modern decor but aren’t cleaned unless guests request it. The included dinner can be hit or miss in terms of quality, quantity and service. Overall, a good, not a great, choice.

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!

It was a really excellent hostel. Clean. Has all facilities and in the perfect location. The only thing I can suggest hostel improvement is to ask guests what they plan on doing at the hostel as, I stayed in a 12 bed mixed dorm and only met 2 people my age who wanted to meet and become friends and hang out etc. The rest were boring 50+ and even one 72 year old who was living there and was a let down as they kept complaining that we were talking after 11pm. If the young ones and old ones, or the quiet ones and the meet friends and go out ones are seperated, this hostel could be 5**

Very well located in less than 10mn walking distance from the airport train central station. Staff were concerned about my wife’s security when I was 2 days busy in my business’s meetings.

The location of the hotel is good, the employees helped as much as they could and the food was great, thank you

Great breakfast and clean room. However, I was expecting a bottle of water and disposable toothbrush/paste in the bathroom.

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.

We just returned from Oslo, and stayed here from 22nd June - 25th June. The hotel is located 20 minutes outside of Oslo city centre by train - it was simple to use the train system and then a 10-15 min walk from the Sandvika train station to the hotel or there are 2 buses that you can jump on if you aren't fit enough to walk (as there are a few hills). We did a mix of walking and jumping on the bus if it was there. We also got the train direct to the airport from him which took around 40 mins. Worth noting we had to use the express train to the airport which I think is more expensive as the local trains don't start running until later, so worth checking train times if you have a particularly early or late train start. The room itself was basic but good in size. The breakfast was really good quality & plentiful. The receptionist also put us together a breakfast box as we had to leave early on Sunday to catch a 8 am flight back to the UK. The shower wasn't so good, as the temperature would switch from freezing cold to burning hot. Beds were comfortable enough and spacious. We stayed here as it was half the price of a hotel in the city centre, but with trains not being the cheapest - it will be worth adding up paying for them going back and forth before booking again. It didn't take long at all from the city centre, so I wouldn't be put off by distance as easy to navigate the public transport.

Das Frühstück ist das Highlight in diesem Hotel, unglaublich gut und die Auswahl mehr als ausreichend. Die Zimmer könnten klimatisiert sein, das trifft wahrscheinlich in Norwegen eher nur auf wenige Wochen zu. Die Betten sind gut, die Zimmer ausreichen ausgestattet. Ich hätte mir eine Art Pantoffeln gewünscht, da ich Teppichboden nicht so gerne Barfuss in Hotels begehe. Vielleicht kann man da nachbessern.

We needed a place to stay overnight as we were connecting a flight at OSL. One of the airport hotels seems like an obvious choice as we only had 14 hours in Oslo. We didn't require a lot of service as it was a brief stay but whatever service we received from the staff were mediocre at best. On the surface the hotel looks okay but a closer look reveals the poor condition of the place. The door seal was torn and the laminate sheet on the bathroom door were starting to peel. Dust was collecting on the glasses in the room, suggesting it hadn't been used/cleaned for a while. The room was very warm and the air conditioner did little to condition the temperature. The windows were permanently shut so there was no way to ventilate the room. We raised our concern with the hotel and got given an electric fan. Surely making the windows functional would've made more sense. If safety is a concern then there are windows that only open a few inches wide, thus mitigating the risk of a fall. If it was a really hot day I could imagine guests suffering from the lack of ventilation. For us it was a discomfort. Shower screen was poorly designed and it was difficult to keep the floor outside the shower area dry. For the asking price I expected more. It didn't need to be special or luxury. It just needed to be well maintained and functional.
