Oslo hotels near Oslo Royal Palace

Pros: For the most part, the staff were lovely and the hotel is very central to everything. The breakfast has lots of nice, different options and the room itself was of a nice size.

Cons: The TV remote was filthy and had a foul odour that was transfered onto my hands when I touched it. I had to clean it several times with baby wipes just to get rid of the smell - I don't think it'd ever been wiped down. In addition to this, the smoke alarm wasn't working and was hanging off the ceiling with big screws that had come loose from the plaster. The receptionist was notified but it wasn't fixed and continued to sag from the ceiling above where I slept. The TV would also stop working randomly and the shower pressure wasn't great.

Pros: Great buffet breakfast for the price paid in an expensive city like Oslo. 8 - 10 mins walk to central train station and the main shopping street. Quite an interesting place to explore. Clean room, helpful staff. We are staying here again when we return to Oslo next week.

Cons: Nothing. Just that the room can be alittle cramp for 2 person with more than 2 big luggages.

Pros: 15mins walk from ferry terminal and palace Clean, contemporary feel Staff very friendly and helpful

Cons: Everything was great

Cons: Staff wasn't very helpful and literally spoke less than 5 words at checkin. Didn't even tell us that breakfast was actually included. Maybe just a bad day - who knows?

Pros: Location was very good. Stylish decor. Enjoyable breakfast.

Cons: No information brochures, fridge, or tea/coffee facilities in the room.

Pros: Central and easy to find

Cons: Elevator function

Pros: Employees

Cons: Showers. No elevators up to the train station from the lobby. Tough on us old folks!!!!!

Pros: Good location.

Cons: The phone was not working and the staff said they couldn’t fix it. So I have to go down to the lobby several times asking for service. Not really effective.

Pros: Location was amazing, right where you want to be. Staff all lovely and speak great English. Large comfy bed

Cons: The sky bar doesn't take cash which is not convenient when you're travelling from abroad and change all the money into cash and get charged for abroad transactions on your card and they also tell you no cash after you have placed your order and been given your drink. Bath is also a little bit of a health hazard getting in and out of so bare this in mind maybe if youre elderly or not very flexible!

Pros: Great location right next to the rail station. Very nice hotel and room. Excellent breakfast.

Cons: No power plugs near the bed. Bed only had bedding for 1 person, even through we specified 2 at reservation and check-in.

Pros: Yes very nice

Cons: Noting

Pros: It was clean

Cons: The hotel was very basic. We had stayed in a Thon hotel for two nights prior and this was much nicer. Breakfast had more choice and tv had more channels. The swimming pool is on a different floor to changing rooms so had to walk in a towel down some stairs. Outside lift was not working which my daughter wanted to use. Then found out lift was working but not for hotel guests.

Pros: Good food Location Great view Fast service...minus the bar.

Cons: Bathrooms a bit dated. Wifi was spotty. Business center computers so old they weren't comparable with any up-to-date programs, so I was not able to conduct business as I wished.

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: Arrived late, got bags and extra bed delivered. Breakfast room service - awesome meal! Great location

Cons: Strange drunk or druggie people outside hotel between hotel and train station. More than other EU capitols, all begging for money.

Pros: Comfortable beds, great view, good location and nice staff.

Pros: Location and restaurant and rooftop bar and restaurant

Cons: Noise in the hallway early in the morning

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!
