Great location, perfect for a break from the city.
The location and facilities - particularly the restaurant, pool, sauna and outdoor spaces - were perfect for us to unwind and slow down in our short break away from the city.
The hotel was very responsive before our arrival, helping to secure restaurant bookings for two dinners and lunch. Our first dinner booking wasn’t included on the list at the restaurant, so we did have to wait a little longer than expected to be seated and served. Probably because this flustered the staff a little, we also weren’t given the wine list with our menus. But when we were able to order and eat, both the food and wine were excellent. While we had been looking forward to the smørbrød, we ultimately skipped our initial plan to have lunch here, in favour of a trip to Holmenkollen. Not only were the front desk staff happy to accept this last-minute change (just a couple of hours before our booking), they also demonstrated their excellent knowledge of the area with some great tips for our visit to the ski jumps. Our second dinner was the Sunday platter, which we thoroughly enjoyed in the relaxed setting of the terrace, soaking up the evening sunshine.
Our junior suite was clean, spacious and comfortable. The only real negative for me was the lack of a kettle, although so many hotels seem not to offer one these days.
