Oslo Hotels with Balcony

Location is convenient, about 10 mins walk from Oslo S. although it is in the direction nearer to the office buildings and away from the attractions. Breakfast spread is amazing and tastes good. Room and bathroom are spacious, bed is soft and comfortable. The only drawback is the amenities. There is no toothbrush provided, and I find the shampoo, conditioner, and hand wash a little too mild / diluted, would have preferred it to be thicker and foamier. Body soap is ok.

A beautiful room but experienced a number of disappointments. Hotel guests must pay a supplement daily charge to use the swimming pools AND book at designated time slot. I have NEVER experienced this at any hotel anywhere in the world. I was in a premium room, but this policy applies to all guests, which I think is awful. It was also impossible to get a spa appointment during my stay. Zero preference given to hotel guests. I strongly suggest you book spa treatments at least a week in advance of your arrival. Also, there is no turndown service, unusual for a highly priced 5* hotel. Housekeeping also finishes very early, or isn’t interested in guests who don’t align with their schedule. I had to work in my room but left at 2:45pm and it was not cleaned despite signalling the room needed making up. The reception team were polite, but chaotic. Generally, the hotel restaurants seem more focused on catering to outside guests, which is a shame.

Pleasant stay, hospitable staff. Public transport a bit of a walk but very close. Comfortable location. Big room.

The stay experience was very poor, the hotel's hardware facilities were good, the room was large and comfortable, but it was arranged in the room on the 2nd floor, and there were several stairs. The room did not have any view at all. When the curtains were opened, the platform was a platform. The breakfast was exaggerated and tasted good. However, professional training of front desk staff is seriously insufficient. At 7 am, I was sleeping in the room and a staff member swiped the card to open the door and entered the room. It was the first night I stayed and I didn't ask for any cleaning service. The sudden break-in made me startled and very upset. The explanation was then reported to the front desk: the staff confused my room 215 with another room 251 that needed repair. This kind of wrong room number and random opening of the room door is a serious violation of the privacy and security of the guests, which is completely unacceptable. At present, I have sent an official complaint email to the hotel email, which clearly requires strengthening staff training, but I have not received any official reply or apology from the hotel party, but only said that I am investigating, and it is recommended that passengers who pay attention to privacy and security should consider carefully. I have lived in many other hotels, and this kind of mistake has never happened. If a girl lives alone, it is more terrible. I can't imagine it.

Location: Situated in northeast Oslo, next to office buildings and residential areas. It's about a 30-minute public transport ride to the city center (like Oslo Central Station). You can turn left out of the hotel and walk 10 minutes to Okern station for metro lines 4/5. To walk less, go straight for 3 minutes to Lorenvangen station and take bus 23 one stop to Okern T, then go down the stairs to catch metro lines 4/5. If you have luggage, I recommend taking bus 23 to Lorenvangen, as it's the closest stop to the hotel, just a 3-4 minute walk on a gentle incline. In Oslo, within the same zone, you can transfer between buses, metro, trams, and ferries without extra charge. I found it quite exhausting pushing two large suitcases from Okern metro station. Service: Throughout my 7-day stay, the front desk staff were always smiling and friendly. The cleaners would proactively ask if I wanted my room serviced. You can store your luggage for a short period after check-out, but not for several days. Breakfast: For Oslo, I'd say it's definitely worth the price. It's mostly Western-style breakfast. Vegetarian options include raw lettuce, carrot sticks, onion, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, etc., and cooked options like stir-fried cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. Meat options include smoked salmon (available 6 out of 7 days), roasted bacon, meatballs, and small sausages. There were three or four types of European bread you could slice yourself. Fruit included bananas, apples, and pears. There were three kinds of yogurt, and nuts like almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, etc. Beverages included six or seven options, and coffee had five or six varieties; to get hot water, select the last option on the coffee machine. It starts at 6:30 AM on weekdays and 7:00-10:00 AM on weekends. Tips: 1. For your first visit, there are usually three routes from Okern metro station to the hotel (Image 16). The hotel is in the red circle. The green line is the shortest straight path but has a very high set of stairs before reaching the hotel (Image 6). The red line is flat road + gentle incline, recommended if you have a lot of luggage. The blue line is flat road + steep incline, the furthest and not recommended. 2. In the hotel, you select your floor directly on the elevator's touchscreen (Image 10), and it will tell you which elevator (A, B, or C) to take (Image 11). Once inside, the door closes, and it automatically goes to your floor without needing to swipe a card. The front desk is on the fourth floor. 3. The room does not require a card to activate power. The main power switch is a touchscreen on the wall (Image 9). The separate switch by the bathroom door was not very responsive. 4. You must swipe your card to lock the door when leaving!!! Unlike in China where the door locks automatically when closed. If you don't swipe, it can be opened from the outside. To deadlock the room from the inside, twist the inner handle. 5. There are five power outlets in the room: above the bathroom sink, by the bathroom door, on both sides of the bed, and for the floor lamp. However, some might not work, so it's best to bring a power strip. If you're only staying in Oslo for three or four days and mainly exploring the city center, I recommend staying at a hotel in the city center. It might be a few hundred more expensive but saves time, as public transport back and forth also costs around a hundred per person. If you're not in a hurry and prefer a quiet environment with a great breakfast, you can book this hotel. You'll sleep well, eat well, and enjoy a clean, quiet, and safe stay.

Facilities: This is a chain hotel, very good. It's a prominent black high-rise building, and the shuttle bus to and from Oslo Airport stops right at the entrance. Cleanliness: Clean and hygienic. Environment: Central location, very close to the cruise terminal and City Hall. Service: Good, with a 24-hour front desk.

Hôtel est très bien placé entouré de forêt  Petit dernier au top Par contre de la vaisselle de room service est restée entreposée toute la journée à notre étage dégageant une forte odeur. C’est vraiment dommage pour un hôtel de 5 étoiles. Sinon séjour très apaisant.

Extremely clean, and the facilities are excellent.

This was the best hotel I stayed at during my recent 20-day trip. It’s perfectly located with stunning views of the city and right next to Oslo Winter Park, making it an ideal choice for skiers like me. Although it takes about 30 minutes by train to reach the city center, you may find it hard to leave the hotel because of its beautiful scenery. The hotel is clean and comfortable, and I particularly enjoyed the complimentary coffee, hot tea, and apples available in the common areas. The staff were friendly; we had a lovely chat with one of them for almost half an hour. The breakfast included was quite good as well. The only downside was that the room, especially the shower, was a bit small, but it was perfectly acceptable for the price. I would definitely consider visiting again.

Myself and a group of HE students have returned home from a conference where we stayed in this hotel. The staff were really helpful and polite. Every morning we would ask for fresh towels at reception and these were either provided there and then or delivered to the room within 10 minutes of the request. The hotel is located around 10-15 minutes walk away from the marina, the tube station, royal palace. The students really enjoyed how central the hotel was to everything. Check in and out was smooth, and the rooms were clean. There was a QR code in the room to scan if you wanted the cleaner to come in on a daily basis.  There was a small selection of snacks in the reception area to purchase. On the other hand the breakfast variety was really good.  From fresh waffles and pancakes to cooked breakfast, cereal, yoghurt and fruit, fresh smoothies and juices.  Overall this hotel is great if you want a base to go and explore Oslo. I would recommend this hotel to a weekend away.
