Hotels near Statens æresbolig for kunstnere: Grotten in Oslo

Generally, I enjoyed my stay, but the problems started with the check-out. I forgot a few items of clothing in my room and therefore called after returning home to find out how to get them back. Initially nobody could tell me if they had found the clothes or not, and it took me three phone calls in total until somebody actually talked to the housekeeping staff to find out. The result was that the clothes were not found, which means that the staff who cleaned either threw the clothes away or kept them. I had the impression that the front desk staff only started to show some initiative after I had called several times and also did not care a great deal to find my belongings. I would expect more (and definitely not several items of clothing to disappear) in a 3 star hotel.

We were satisfied with our stay at the hotel! Spacious clean room, decent bathroom, kettle, cups, coffee/tea. The windows overlooked the street with a tram, but this did not interfere with sleep. Good location, literally 10 minutes to the town hall) Excellent breakfast, varied buffet.

Arrived on our ferry from Copenhagen before lunch so left luggage and wandered until checkin was possible. All so good so far. When we came to check in we asked to make sure the room didn’t have feather bedding - assured it was clear of feathers, however when went up to room this wasn’t the case. Went down, explained at which point after many discussions (explaining that I’m allergic to feather bedding over and over (as we had with the booking) I was offered another room which apparently was better (but the guy on reception didn’t seem to understand my question as to whether the new room would be free from feathers ….!) Went up to the room and of course it had feather bedding. We moved all of our luggage into the new room and my OH went down to reception this time and the same guy simply didn’t understand what we were explaining so OH requested another member of staff who did understand second time around. (Later bedding was all replaced which was then fine. ) the surprising thing was they had members of staff on reception whose English wasn’t quite up to basic requests (unusual for anywhere in Scandinavia) (while admitting my Norwegian is non-existent!) The bathroom was possibly the smallest I have ever witnessed, albeit it did have a bath with shower over. All v clean and fully functional. The pool and sauna were ok but a little small, but if you timed it you could use them. Generally the staff were a little slow (perhaps the hotel doesn’t have enough staff currently to service guests?) and service alone would put me off coming to stay here again unfortunately.

Overall the environment is cozy enough but there’s some issues like the room had not be cleaned properly and there few items within the room is broken

Very good location to everywhere . 2 stops tram from main station. Walking to shopping street nearby. Clean hotel and the staff very friendly. Good breakfast also.

Location: The hotel belongs to the city center, within a 10-minute walk to the University of Oslo, the Royal Palace, and the shopping street. The door is the statue of the first picture 🗿. Buy FLY1 tickets directly at the airport, 25 minutes to the National Theater Station, and a 10-minute walk to the hotel. Room: The room is very small and well-equipped, even with an ironing board. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. The bathroom has floor heating, which is very comfortable. The balcony is very large, 3-4 square meters visually. Food: The breakfast was very generous, I didn't shoot the whole thing, and a bunch of sausage bacon and meat for the English breakfast. I have breakfast at the hotel every day and it's great. Service: Five points for service, the staff will greet you when they see you, and the room attendants are all. Price: It is not expensive in Norway. Considering the location, facilities, services, etc., I think the price/performance ratio is OK.

Clarion Hotel Savoy has got mixed reviews, but our 3-night stay was really pleasant and I would definitely book it again. The hotel has old-time charm, and though the standard room is quite small (compared to the huge bed, which occupied most of the room), it was functional with a beautiful bathroom. The location of Hotel Savoy in the city centre is excellent and unless you want to explore Oslo on foot, you can easily do it by tram or bus. The best part of the stay was the delicious high-quality breakfast and ”light” dinner, which turned out to be a 3-course meal (warm main, soup and various salads). I don’t eat meat so I just asked the staff member in passing if there was any vegetarian warm-dish option and the next night they had prepared delicious chickpea curry as an extra dish for me. That’s what I call real customer service!😀 Also, the afternoon final (coffee and cake) was a plus in this expensive city. The only (tiny) minuses were a very small selection of TV channels and (in my personal opinion) uncomfy pillows (one gigantic, the other flat and lumpy). But after strolling around Oslo for many hours and enjoying the evening meal, those issues didn’t prevent us from sleeping well in our quiet room facing the inner yard.

I spent a night at Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station Oslo, and while it's a no-frills accommodation, it's worth mentioning its cleanliness and thoughtful amenities. The heated bathroom floor was a pleasant surprise, providing an extra touch of comfort. Since it's a straightforward hotel, there's not much to elaborate on, but for a one-night stay, it served its purpose well. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, with friendly and polite staff readily available to assist if needed

We stayed here for four nights over the Oslo Marathon weekend. We were lucky to have a superior room (only four on each floor by the look of things) and so had plenty of space - indeed our bathroom seemed to be much the same size as the standard room. The bed was very comfy and the room was quiet, with the window facing an internal space. Slept well and pigged out on Sky's coverage of the Queen's death when in the room. Note no tea/coffee/fridge/safe etc in room but all these were available on the ground floor, Breakfast (included in our online offer) was great - the usual Scandi buffet with the only problem being holding back and not overeating. The hotel has a good central location on the west side of central and we found that we could walk everywhere no problem. All in all a great stay and we would certainly consider staying again were we ever to revist Oslo, which I hope we do.

You need to ask for towels. Elevators jump and can take only three or four people at a time when the main guest block is folks on a tour bus. Worst breakfast in Norway - low variety of food and overcrowded. The staff seem uninterested in resupplying breakfast but I hardly blame them as the bus crowd filled their bags with food for lunch. Saw one guy fill a plastic container with meat cheese and eggs while grabbing half a loaf of bread for his backpack. The staff watched as he did this then did not replenish the items. Coffee cups so small everyone takes 2 or 3 and plates also super small. Good location but understaffed and staff uninterested. Suggestion - raise the price a bit and attract better staff and serve a better breakfast.
