Oslo hotels near Byporten Shopping

Pros: Loved it

Pros: Hospitality

Cons: Nothing

Pros: the location of the hotel was central and the best in Oslo! Very grand hotel and you feel special when you walk in the entrance! the staff were also tremendous and very helpful

Pros: Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: I attempted to use the pool and facilities twice without success. The first time I was told I had to pay approximately €25 for the pleasure at the weekend although I was paying considerably to stay in the hotel. The second time, midweek, I was told the pool was full and it was closing early due to the public holiday. Not impressed. This is rated as a 5 star hotel. The hotel room was too hot and temperature was difficult to regulate. In the end we opened a window which was noisy.

Pros: The hotel bar, restaurant and reception were lovely

Cons: The bar closed at 11pm, the spa only let 12 people in the swimming pool which meant we weren't able to use it. We we’re told the hotel wasn’t running with full staff as it was between Xmas and New Year so we felt we didn’t get the full experience we paid for

Pros: Location and lobbies

Cons: When we arrived for breakfast there was temporarilly a very long queue and waiting time

Pros: Friendly staff and great location

Pros: Check in went smooth and polite staff, besides Karoline scamming me.

Cons: I was scammed when i was checking in. I payed 2300kr in cash for 1 night and the lady named Karoline told me that i needed to pay a 1000kr deposit since i was paying cash. When i am checking out i am informed that they never take any kind of deposit and the staff treats me like i am lying. I have been in contact with the Police and they tell me "it's a nice hotell, they don't do that there" I am absolutely shocked by the way i have been treated by the staff. I checked in with my friend and he is witness to me paying the 1000kr deposit. At this point i have been told that they will be calling Karoline(The girl who checked me in and scammed me) to ask her what has happened.

Pros: central location, good breakfast

Cons: old furniture, small room

Pros: Lovely experience overall, in a thoughtfully designed and sparkling clean room. Major plus is the fantastic sauna with harbor view due to its glass walls. There's also a nice but very narrow pool (really best for one lap swimmer at a time).

Cons: Here's the elevator issue: If user forgets to swipe card first, response SHOULD be an error message such as Please swipe card. Instead, response is that system sends user to an elevator, elevator opens, then nothing happens! Needs a fix ASAP.

Pros: great location and facilities

Cons: they forgot to clean our room

Pros: It was partners Birthday and NYE during our stay, and not sure it could have been much better. All hotel breakfast from now on will be compared to this one. The slightly later finishing time of 11am was fantastic. I mentioned my partners Birthday to the hotel on booking and they had left a little surprise in the room for her that was a lovely touch. There were a number of other little customer service interactions that made the stay particularly memorable. Short walk to Sentrum Station.

Cons: Our only gripe was that the pool was too cold for us.

Pros: location. Nice view from the resto and bar.

Cons: it is a bit outdated. Could use some upgrade

Pros: Location

Cons: Staff

Pros: The hotel is exactly next to the train station Oslo S , so is really convenient for moving everywhere even if the trains area is not the best in the city . Breakfast was honest .

Cons: It’s a huge hotel a bit old ...the worst is that the hotel was dirty specially in lobby . Very small bathroom . It was ok ...but not the best choice for relaxing accommodation . Medium level for sure ...a hotel of 80s which tried to be showed luxury!

Pros: The hotel is in a great location within Oslo, very close to the station, restaurants and shops. We had a room on the 27th floor with great views of the city, the room was large, clean, quiet and well heated. We had a meal at the restaurant on the 34th Floor, the food was amazing.

Pros: Location to city

Cons: N/A

Pros: The property was very comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful. We found the restaurant and bar on floor 34 was a bit chilly for us but the food was good. The location by the station make it ideal when the weather is cold and damp as it is only a few minutes walk from the station.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great design and amenities, helpful staff (especially front desk and restaurant), amazing food and taste of Norway in restaurant. Good leisure facilities. Surprise upgrade to a business room for being a return traveller. Fantastic location.

Cons: Housekeeping in the room. Found a little brown "surprise" in the toilet when first arrived and spotted some black residue coming off of the plug in the bath

Pros: When purchasing, it felt like a nice hotel we were splurging for. When we got there, we realized it was anything but.

Cons: The area the hotel is located seemed like the shadiest part of town. I know this because I walked 15 miles the best day around the city and the only place that felt sketchy to me was outside and around the radisson plaza.

Pros: The view from floor 20 is nice and the bar on floor 21 as well. Also they offer water and cookies at the lobby whick is nice. The breakfast was okay - but nothing more.

Cons: I booked a suite. When I was arriving - the room was not ready - it was 1.1.2020 so i did not bother I was too early anyway and went for a walk. At 5:30 pm I returned to the hotel but still room was not ready I had to wait an other 20min. Maybe they hurried with cleaning the room - because id didn’t felt very clean. In the evening I ordered food. it took them 2hrs to deliver it and I had to call them twice in the meantime. The next day they cleaned the room but did not replace the shampoo and showergel. Also they left the used towels on the floor and the used towels on the rack were not folded, table was not cleaned and even though there was clearly a visible tomato spot on the bedsheets - they did not replace it. And also the plate with the rest of the food from last night was still on the table. I had to call them again. On my last day - a security manager nocked very aggressively on the door - and told me that something is wrong with my booking and I have to come with him immediately to the lobby - I told him that I booked till saturday he didn’t bother. So I grabed my stuff and then he suddenly realized that he picked the wrong room. And yeah - there was a fire alarm - nothing wrong with that but all in all it was just too much that went wrong.

Pros: Stig the Receptionist at front desk who tried to rectify the problems with our rooms

Cons: My wife and I arrived on the 17th August 2015, and on attempting to check-in we were told the "computer system" was not working and therefore we we not able to check in. We were told to either wait (they could not provide an estimate on how long it would take). After a 15-min wait we were checked in "manually". As an American Carlson member, I presented my Club Carlson Gold card, but it wasn't accepted because my trip was booked through Kayak! Nevertheless after a short delay we were in our room. Immediately we noticed that the carpet in the room was dirty, and there were 2-single beds (as opposed to a double as we booked) Credit to the front desk staff who promptly reassigned us to a "newly refurbished" room. The room was a marked improvement over the last, and we happily settled in; unpacking our suitcases and preparing for an afternoon of sightseeing. On return in the evening, we prepared for the night and around 20:00 we tried to lock the door. The door lock did not work. A call to the front desk and a couple of minutes later someone from maintenance was at our door. I explained that the door wouldn't lock from the inside and he insisted that the lock was working. I was a bit taken back by his curt response, but nevertheless invited him to try. What followed next had me flabbergasted! The maintenance employee closed the door, and using his body weight proceeded to to yank on the door handle until he could engage the lock. Curtly he replied, "There it is locked". I attempted to unlock door by turning the lock itself and when I couldn't he demonstrated how to unlock the door. Standing on his toes and again using all his body weight he pressed down on the door handle until the lock disengaged. Again the curt response, "There it is unlocked". I couldn't believe it! Visibility annoyed at this point, when I pointed out that locking the door in such a manner would be a fire hazard (not to mention my wife will never be able to unlock the door if I locked it), he suggested that I actually didn't need to lock the door as no one from the outside could get in without a key. In response I stated that any member of staff could enter if the door was unlocked, to which he acknowledged was true and said I could either call the front desk to arrange a new room, lock the door as he demonstrated, or leave the door unlocked; but there was nothing he could do to fix the lock. Another call to the front desk and we were offered a room on the 20th floor. So after repacking we moved to our 3-room for the day. From then on the only issues we faced were with our room keys. Every time we left our room, the room key would not let us back in. So we had to make our way to the front desk where they would make a new key. Every time without fail!
