Clarion Collection Hotel Bastion

The hotel is located at 5-6 minutes relaxed walking from the train station - just near the sea. It has a small lobby, but we could also use some tables of its restaurant, while enjoying free coffee or tea throughout the day. It also offers light dinner included in the price and it was one of the reasons I selected it. The dinner includes buffet of few salads and amazing dressings, as well a daily soup, a meal and freshly baked bread. The breakfast was very tasty, beautifully decorated on a small table - including varieties of options for every taste, immediately re-filled when emptied. Everything offered was of a high quality. There is also a free gym and sauna. The room is not big, but is sufficient. Nice decoration. Not too big beds in a twin. The toilet is quite tiny, with intelligent shower cabin. Nice huge windows with sun the whole day long. Surprisingly - there was no fridge. The TV had only few, national channels. All staff members are very polite and helpful. I got the room immediately on arrival - few hours before official check-in time. The check-out is really fine - set at noon. There is very small, but free luggage room. Finally - I got very good price for it on Trip.com, compared to the other providers.

Lovely hotel equipped with fancy gadgets like colour changing lights, very nice amenities especially love the body lotion. Room is clean and breakfast spread is very good, staff is very friendly too. Highly recommend! One possible challenge will be it may be stuffy/warm during summer, but it is fine for us in April.

I thought this hotel was great for the price. 8 minutes walk from the station / opera house etc. I booked a double room which was quite small but was nice - bathroom had power shower and under floor heating. Great choice of breakfast items, free tea and coffee all day plus cake in the afternoon. I booked this hotel solely based on there being an evening meal as I was travelling on my own and trying to keep costs down. If you are fussy it’s maybe not for you as there is only 1 choice of dinner but i thought the evening meals were fantastic. There is soup and bread, selection of salads e.g. Greek, bulger wheat then the main. While I stayed that was chilli, pork and mashed potatoes ( I don’t really like pork but I have to say it was really nice) and veggie lasagne. Based on the fact 2 beers and some olive was £25 in a bar I was really glad I only had to eat lunch out. Definitely get the city pass that gets you free travel and entry to museums it is well with the money.

Excellent experience, location was amazing right near all main spots in Oslo. Good and healthy food provided for breakfast, fika and dinner. Comfortable and well-equipped gym
