Compared to the other places Scamam tours booked us into this was plush. Not the trip and ambiance I had looked for but staff was friendly and knowlegible and location was central. more

If its antiques you are after, this is the place. Its like stepping back in time, about 100 years (except the prices). Rooms were roomy, but in a heatwave, it would have been nice to open the window. Views from small window were depressing, and so room was gloomy and lacked light. So, tried the extortionate internet at nok100 as... more

Our family had a lovely stay at the Bristol. The staff was very helpful. The location is hard to beat. Like the previous reviewer, we took the express train from the airport to the National Theater stop, and walked from there. It was a short walk or bus ride from the hotel to everything we did in Oslo. We even... more

You'll be very happy staying here. We took the express train from the airport and got off at the National Theater stop. It's closer than the Central Station stop. Only about a 10 minute walk to the hotel- very easy to navigate. The hotel is on a quiet street, just off the main one (Karl Johans Gate). Across the street... more

Because the airport in Bergen was on strike we had to reroute to Oslo and we arrived two days early. We tried to find a good rate on the internet but could not, so we went to the hotel. Because it was mid week we ended up paying twice what we had already prepaid for the stay we had already... more

Unfortunately I´ve stayed there several times because the company I work for has an agreement with it. Service is outride rude. Rooms are all very different so its touch and go whether you get a room that is acceptable. I honestly don´t know how many times I´ve had to ask for a room change... This hotel including resaurant, room service,... more

Stayed just one night at the Bristol prior to embarking on a mini-cruise from Oslo port. We arrived before the stated check-in time but it was a Sunday morning and our room was ready for immediate occupancy. Check in was quick and easy. I was surprised that no-one offered us help with our bags and show us to our room... more

The hotel has a very good location close to The royal palace and The Karl Johan street and with the railway station to the airport at walking distance. My room was rather small but well appointed. The breakfast was excellent. more

I have stayed here before and liked it ok. Not many choices in Oslo. Although I hear more hotels are being built, thankfully. When I phoned the hotel for my reservation 2 weeks before my arrival, I should have been informed of construction taking place. This colored my view of the hotel immensely. It seemed deceptive. Also, the Club Rooms... more

Moved here after other poor expereince at Grand and it least it was cleaner and the room small but basic. The best part is the lounge area where you can enjoy a drink and watch the world go by. Otherwise an average hotel and nothing special. more
