Hotels with balcony in Oslo

Decor is excellent and the theme of the rooms is cohesive and smart. Excellent gym but pool was an additional cost, unless you have a suite. This was a disappointment and gives the place a cheap feeling.  There were lots of additional events being held at the hotel which gave the place a noisy and overly busy feel. Often large groups of party goers waiting for lifts at night. Corridors are also quite busy and noisy. There is a feel that hotel guests are a necessary afterthought when these events are held. Staff ranged from very nice to indifferent and sometimes even disdainful.  Overall I wouldn’t describe this hotel as peaceful or a place that makes you feel at ease.

The hotel is centrally located in Oslo, with many major attractions just a short walk away, which made exploring the city very convenient. The room was okay and comfortable enough for our stay. However, during winter it could feel quite cold since the heating system is centralized and not individually adjustable. That said, we truly loved the breakfast!! There was a great variety of food, and the free-flow coffee was definitely a highlight for us. It was so nice to be able to enjoy as many cups as we wanted, especially on cold winter.

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.

The famous hotel is self-checkin online, you will get a password, and you will check in by yourself. The location is more convenient, take the tram for about 10 minutes to the Opera House and Monk Art Museum. The kitchen utensils are relatively complete, there is no problem with cooking, and the overall experience is good!

The room was really clean, but there was no shampoo or conditioner. Also, the hairdryer was unfortunately broken. When I mentioned these issues to the receptionist upon check-out in the morning, they said, ”If you had contacted us earlier, we would have provided them.” Of course, in that moment, it's crucial for the conditions to be suitable. Despite these points, the hotel room was genuinely spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, there's no kettle. An iron and ironing board are available, just so you know. Even though this hotel is far from the city center, I would still recommend it.

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.

Complicated Stay While location is good, near steen and stroms.  too many doors to open using the app. different codes for building entry and rooms. too much reliance on app to open doors (which often need more tries before it can work)  instead of having digital buttons to enter premises.  low ceilings for hallways so it seems like a container house. good supply room for bath towels.  laundry area can be improved. only two washing machines (small one) and one dryer.  old style elevator, small - have to use stairs in between. so if you have lots of luggages...this place is not recommended.

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.

There's an Asian supermarket downstairs, and I usually go out at night, but there were some suspicious characters hanging around downstairs, which made me a bit nervous. The room floor had grease stains and wasn't very clean. Plus, they don't even provide shower gel; you have to buy it yourself. This is the first time I've stayed at a hotel that doesn't provide shower gel. #Pros

Very convenient hotel right in the center of Oslo! Customer service was good and the hotel was clean and up to standard, as expected across the Scandic chains in the nordics
