Hotels near Hovedøya, Oslo

"The location was conveniently close to major sites like Oslo's Central station and all the attractions in Karl Johan's Gate. We could see both the Oslo Opera House, Munch Museum and Oslofjord from our room's window. It is a short walk to many good restaurants, cafes and shops as well as some convenience stores. The area is pretty walkable but you just have to watch out for uneven pavement. Bus 30 has a stop right in front of the hotel and many of the museums worth making a trip out of the city centre for are on this route. The ”barception” combines both a bar and a reception area. There is plenty of seating in the lobby which also functions as the breakfast area in the morning. The reception desk also has a small convenience store where you can purchase snacks, drinks and some sandwiches but it is a little bit pricier than the nearby convenience stores and supermarkets. Reception staff were welcoming and friendly during our stay and we visited a few times and received information and assistance quickly. We were initially worried because there was only one working elevator during our stay but that was only an issue a couple of times. We liked our room with the furnishings provided but would say it is very dim. We got a corner room which had a work space, a bench by the window, a chair and a good sized bed. We appreciated that there were several coat hooks on the walls to hang our winter clothing on when we visited. The hotel promotes sustainability throughout and while the lighting is perfect in the hallways and common areas we found our three small lights and two bedside lamps did not provide enough lighting in the evening which comes early in December. The TV was a big flat screen but unfortunately the smart features were disabled and the programming available is a little dry at this hotel. The amenities at the hotel are sufficient but I booked believing that there would be laundry facilities on site which there isn't. They recommended going to a sister property which was about a 10-15 minute walk away and online had one laundry machine and we were lucky not to have to wait long to get it done. Kettles and extra pillows are available upon request. Our favourite part of the bathroom was the heated floor which made the bathroom nice and cozy. The shower had swinging doors on both sides which helped open up the space when it wasn't in use but it didn't provide a perfect seal to keep the water in during a shower. Thankfully the heated floor helped evaporate the overflow quickly. The shower pressure was good but it was initially tricky to get the right temperature. We appreciated that there was plenty of counter space in the bathroom which made up for the lack of ventilation so use the toilet wisely. The breakfast was pretty good. There was a good variety of hot and cold items including smoked salmon, pancakes, chia seed cups, overnight oats, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese and an area to make your own yoghurt bowl with toppings. They also had a tea/coffee area with plenty of additives like non-sugar sweeteners and creamed honey. We liked the fruit platters but found by the time we went they were largely picked over and they were the less desirable pieces leftover. We started each of our days off right with a decent breakfast each morning. Comfort Hotel has seemingly taken over Oslo in this area and there are quite a few locations. We picked this hotel because it was pretty central for our itinerary, was fairly priced and it has decent sized rooms."

"Perfect location, for city centre easily excess to public transport, Its really nice place to stay,"

"The Hotel has excellent location , all attractions are in walking distance! The staffs are very friendly!"

"The hotel is situated in the center of Oslo City Center near the central train station and bus central station as well. It’s very convenient to go sightseeing in Oslo and be the best hub to explore other cities in Norway. The hotel offers good facilities for example the pool and sauna on the 32 th floor. You can see the stunning superb view on 33 th Panorama view and sip drinks in the evening for relaxing. The hotel staff is responsible for taking care of the guests . We enjoy the food and wine appetizers for waking up the spirits in the morning breakfast. We think we love the good chain of Radisson Hotel in Norway and highly recommend!"

"Wonderful! I love this hotel - the whole vibe as you walk in, the full size spa toiletries and the room were all lovely - we will make this our top stop in Oslo."

"We are glad to meet Rachel Pangilinan who assisted us during our stay. She is very approachable, kind and prety 😍. We love her so much! Also our room meets our expectation. It's so nice."

"Convenient location, easy walk to national museum, Akershus Fortress, Oslo Opera House, Deichman, Munch etc. Has a convenient store and pharmacy right next to the hotel. Excellent breakfast at 6:30am weekdays and 8am weekends. Quite helpful with porter service as we were taking the Norway in a Nutshell self guided tour. Make sure to bring adhesive tape to affix the tag for the porter service or ask the desk for tape. Get off at National Theatre station if taking the airport train. Short walk along the park towards Rosenkrantz Gate."

"Fantastic experience at this hotel, especially from Johanne, who was super friendly and helpful."

"Hotel is dated but service and breakfast is good. Good location"

"I had a fantastic time at Clarion Hotel: The Hub in Oslo. The rooms were large, clean, and quiet. I was on the 12th floor and navigating around the hotel was easy. Everything from check-in, to using facilities, to getting around the city was made better by staying here. The hotel has a small pool, two gym areas, and two saunas on the basement floor which were all great to use. The facilities were clean and modern. Even though the facilities are on the smaller side, it was never too busy that you couldn't use them. I used the gym, pool, and sauna every day, at different times of the day, and it was never too crowded. Finally, this hotel has one of the most incredible breakfast buffets I've ever experienced. The food is SO good and I'm so grateful that there were options for both meat eaters and vegans too. Overall a 10/10 experience."
