4-Starhotels in Oslo

Perfectly acceptable hotel room, nice bathroom. 15 mins into the City Centre on the tram/tube that's 5 minutes walk away. Amazing spread for breakfast. Very nice staff at reception/restaurant and cleaning/maintenance staff. Lovely Thai restaurant opposite.

De familiekamer die we geboekt hebben, heeft twee eenpersoonsbedden en een slaapbank, maar biedt geen uitzicht. De kamer bevindt zich op de eerste verdieping en er is een fort buiten het raam. Wilt u tijdens uw vakantie een beter uitzicht en landschap, dan kunt u een superior familiekamer boeken. De superior familiekamer is groter, uitgerust met twee eenpersoonsbedden en een stapelbed, en er is een gazon buiten. De prijs is wat hoog, maar de algehele kwaliteit van de Scandinavische keuken is goed, het ontbijt is gestandaardiseerd, er is een skigebied naast het hotel en het hoogste punt biedt een panoramisch uitzicht over Oslo, wat erg schokkend is.

great boutique hotel! only unfortunate thing is that the breakfast only opens at 8am on weekends so we missed it due to an early flight, but they made up for it with a breakfast to-go when we checked out!

Het hotel ligt op 5-6 minuten lopen van het treinstation, vlak bij de zee. Het heeft een kleine lobby, maar we zouden ook enkele tafels van het restaurant kunnen gebruiken, terwijl we de hele dag door kunnen genieten van gratis koffie of thee. Het biedt ook een licht diner bij de prijs inbegrepen en het was een van de redenen waarom ik ervoor heb gekozen. Het diner bestaat uit een buffet met enkele salades en geweldige dressings, evenals een dagelijkse soep, een maaltijd en versgebakken brood. Het ontbijt was erg lekker, prachtig gedecoreerd op een kleine tafel - inclusief verschillende opties voor elke smaak, onmiddellijk opnieuw gevuld wanneer het werd geleegd. Alles wat aangeboden werd was van hoge kwaliteit. Er is ook een gratis fitnessruimte en een sauna. De kamer is niet groot, maar voldoende. Leuke decoratie. Niet te grote bedden in een twin. Het toilet is vrij klein, met een intelligente douchecabine. Mooie grote ramen met de hele dag zon. Verrassend genoeg was er geen koelkast. De TV had slechts enkele nationale zenders. Alle medewerkers zijn zeer beleefd en behulpzaam. Ik kreeg de kamer onmiddellijk bij aankomst - een paar uur vóór de officiële inchecktijd. Het uitchecken is echt prima - ingesteld om 12.00 uur. Er is een zeer kleine, maar gratis bagageruimte. Eindelijk: ik kreeg er een zeer goede prijs voor op Trip.com, vergeleken met de andere aanbieders.

Simple hotel, yet clean. Staff are very helpful. Location is easy walk from the train station through the shopping mall, but it is not exactly near the center of attractions. Breakfast is simple but very nice (really love their croissants). Appreciate the breakfast pack given by the hotel for us also; since our train to Bergen is very early in the morning 🙂

Not a good experience at Numa Hallen. NOT RECOMMENDED. Rooms are big, clean and quiet. However, the “hotel” is not supported by any staff. The digital check in failed initially. We did not receive the check in email as advised. Maybe if you book directly with Numa, not a third party like Trip, this might work. Don’t know. We rang the web site and Trip advertised phone number to get a check in email. It is disconnected. This defect is recorded in previous reviews, Does anyone read these complaints? Read the previous reviews and noted the WhatsAPP number to be found at door front. Was ready for this we thought. The WhatsAPP number only has a virtual attendant. So no verbal communication available only short text messages readable. Jumped through many hoops and eventually received our check in details on the kerb outside the hotel. Thought we would be sleeping on the street for a while. Once inside we noted the big sign in kitchen about leaving a window open when cooking. Next morning all fire alarms in the hotel section went off. A closed window somewhere perhaps. Alarm couldn’t be shut off so we evacuated with our bags like many others. Guess it must happen often due to the prominence of the sign. The experience wasn’t good and is a great example of technology making life more difficult. The quest to remove people from hospitality jobs diminishes the hospitality aspect. It also leaves no backup except for meaningless, valueless, unaccountable apologies. The communications failures and fire alarm intrusion are significant infrastructure short comings. Wouldn’t stay there again.

Het landschap is geweldig! Het is ook zeer comfortabel om 's avonds over te werken in de gemeenschappelijke lounge. De kamer is erg klein en er is geen lift. Het is ook een zeer historisch hotel. Het is warmer en heeft een zwembad. Het wordt aanbevolen om er voor het gemak naartoe te rijden.

Muy buena ubicación. El desayuno es excelente, súper completo y de muy buena calidad. Un punto en contra es que tienen una sola máquina de nespresso y se junta gente esperando. Todo lo demás es un 10.

For our stay, we booked a studio apartment at The Sweet. The room was lovely and kitchenette was well-equipped. We were able to cook meals there over the days of Christmas when most restaurants and shops were closed. The location is a little outside of the center- nice and quiet but easy to access public transit. My biggest issue with this hotel was that communication was very… odd. As the booking notes, I called the hotel in advance to schedule my check-in. When my call was answered, I told them who I was and that I was calling to schedule my check in (for a time when the booking said check in is available). I was told no one would be at reception at that time (3pm on Dec 23) and they would text me instructions for how to check myself in. Then she confirmed my phone number and asked for my email address, but when I started to give it, she said, “oh, that’s ok. We can’t use email anyway”. Odd. Before getting off the phone, I had her confirm that I would receive a text the next day with instructions to check in. Our train arrived around 2pm in Oslo and we still hadn’t received a text, so we waited at the train station thinking perhaps they would send the text right at 3pm since that was the time I had requested. At 3, I still hadn’t received anything, so we called the hotel again. A different employee answered from the one I had spoken to the day before. I gave my name and explained that I was calling because I had scheduled check in the day before but hadn’t received the information to check in. The employee asked where I was and told me that there were people staffing reception to help us check in, which I thought was odd because the previous employee told me no one would be there. When we got to the hotel, we rang the bell and got into the building, but reception is apparently in the basement- there is only a very tiny sign that says this- so we missed it and I called them again. A man came up with our keys and got us set to go. We got into our room and it was lovely! About 5 hours later, I got a call from Trip saying that the hotel is trying to contact me because they are wondering why I hadn’t checked in and they don’t have a way to get in touch with me. I was sitting in the hotel room when I got this call. I told the Trip representative that I was checked in and it was fine for her to give my phone and email to the hotel. I know the communication elements have taken up a huge portion of my review and I know they are not the end of the world, but I want to share them because I believe it would be quite simple to avoid situations like this in the future and make the guest experience that much more pleasant at The Sweet. We greatly enjoyed our stay at the hotel overall and thoroughly enjoyed exploring Oslo!

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.
