The room itself was ok, not particularly luxurious. Some awkwardness was that the room door opened outwards and seemed not to go into lock when just closing the door but necessitated the use of the room card. And the color selections throughout the hotel (carpets, furniture, etc) really hurt my eyes.

The room was a bit larger than European standards, which is great since we had two large suitcases. The hotel is also in a very good location; all the major train, bus and tram stations are within walking distance.

Checked out and wanted to wander the city for the day before heading to the hotel. The guy at the front desk that day was awesome! Kept the bags next to the desk and was helpful when it was time to pick them up. Overall - great place to stay if you're in downtown Oslo!

The staff was friendly and attentive, from the bartenders to the dining staff. But Juliane, the hospitality manager, really stands out! She was so kind, warm, and sweet. Not only did she give us a guide to the beautiful city, but she also managed to get us a last-minute reservation at an excellent restaurant nearby that originally had no availability. I've stayed in hotels around the world... Do not miss the Thief, it's one of the best stays ever. Thank you so much to Juliane and the rest of the amazing staff here! I can't wait to come back!

We went upstairs for brekkie and while we were up there she came up to let my colleagues know she had a room ready for them! When they mentioned I was waiting too, she invited us to the desk and she and her teammate, Thea, worked to get us all settled quite nicely and early too! Such fabulous customer service and attention! I think this is remarkable customer attention, especially these days when it is so hard to find. Thank you to the team for helping us get our week here started in such great fashion. If you have a chance, please shout them out and let them know their help was awesome and greatly appreciated.

First of all, this is a very new and extremely well designed five-star hotel. Everything about this…read morehotel screams elegance and greatness. If there are any flaws in that designation they mostly come from their staff. I will get to that in a moment. The rooms here are very nice. Not super spacious, but very well designed and functional. The bathrooms are probably the high-point of each of these rooms. They are very nicely designed and offer a deep bathtub, a great shower, and a very nice sink and towel hanging set up. My personal recommendation for staying at this hotel is to stay on one of the higher floors, with a very nice view of the sea off in the distance. This just gives you an overall great feeling when looking outside and a deeper understanding about the landscape of Oslo. In terms of location, this hotel is located central to the inner city. From this, not only do you have easy access to trains and other forms of mass transit, but walking from place to place is also very easy, which is the way I prefer to transverse the city. Meaning, you can easily walk to most of the main attractions with little effort. Those are the pros, here are the cons. Whomever designed the bathtub/shower faucet system was obviously going for some high-tech apparatus. The problem is, it is one of those things that looks very visually appealing but in terms of functionality, it becomes very-very complicated. Normally, you would just turn the hot water or the cold water on and you'd be all set. In the situation, however, it's really a mess. You really have to figure it out. Something so simple, becomes so complicated. So much so, that at one point, apparently one of the housekeeping staff turned my cold water so far off that it had to be turned twenty times just to be able to bring down the hot water to an acceptable level. So, do I love high-tech design? Sure. But, in terms of functionalit, it just really doesn't work. The other problem I have, and this is one of my big pet-peeves whenever I stay at five-star establishments. This pet-peeve involves the time they get a guest's room cleaned. For example, on one of the days I stayed here I came back to the hotel from a long outing and my room was still not cleaned by 4:00 PM. I left the hotel at 8:00 AM. Meaning, they had a lot of time to do the room, but I came back, and as it was not done, I had to go back out for a time after calling the desk and reporting the situation. As we all understand, when you're traveling you like to come back to your room and relax in the afternoon before your evening outings. But, I was not allowed to do this. I really think they need to take a look at their housekeeping staff, the way they function, and the way they organize the room cleaning schedule, because this is just not an ideal way to treat their guests. Especially, when you're a Radisson Premier Member like myself. The other problem I had with this hotel is that I always plan for a car to take me to the airport the day before I am to fly away. I went to the front desk and spoke to one of their people and she told me there was absolutely no reason to plan for a car as there's always taxis out in front. Okay, I believed her. The next morning I go down to check out and the very nice receptionist, named Kimberly, clearly explained to me that it would cost us three times the amount of money to just grab a taxi out in front as opposed to having booked a car. I told her I tried to do just that and one of her associates told me there was no need. She just shook her head. Thankfully, she was very kind and called us a taxi from the car service, which arrived in about five minutes. So, we got the establish price to take us to the airport. Overall, I don't believe there's a better hotel to stay out in Oslo. You just have to be prepared for some of the the less than ideal situations presented at this hotel, which I've explained. Overall, great hotel.

When planning this trip, I pretty much picked the Hotel Bristol off the reviews and what I knew that Gayle liked. This turned out to be a spot on choice, of which other cruise passengers we ran into agreed! CONS None PROS - Nice and very walkable Theater District location that is close to the water, museums (Munch, the National, Nobel, etc.), the Palace, restaurants, shopping, and more. - Upscale and nicely appointed throughout. The vibe is elegant, yet relaxed, with impeccable front desk and breakfast room service. - Amazing multi-room breakfast buffet, featuring about anything you can think of, including fresh local fish of course. Gayle and I couldn't remember anywhere better in our many travels. - Nice quiet (6th floor in a back corner) room with a balcony and a partial view of the Palace. Our room was spacious enough and comfortable to hang out. - I prepaid for the room at ~$225 a night, which I considered a great value considering that Oslo/Norway is expensive and what the service and amenities we received during our stay.

The Hotel Folketeateret is located only a few minutes from the Central Station, where most people arrive when they come from the airport. The entrance is located within a mini-mall where you can find all sorts of restaurants, delicatessen stores, hairdressers etc. Upon entering the hotel, I always feel right at home, as it is cozy and warm in a typical Scandinavian fashion. Plus, the receptionists here are always very friendly and on top of that super-efficient; I've never waited longer than a minute to check in or check out. The hotel rooms that I've stayed in are not luxurious, but they are comfortable and they offer all the conveniences that a business traveller might look for: master switches for the light by the bed, plenty of sockets by the bed, free and fast wifi etc. As I mentioned before, the breakfast for me is the highlight here and I really urge you to get up early and take full advantage of it. The buffet is so big with so many yummy choices that I usually end up not needing to eat until the evening...seriously, I stuff myself with hearty rye bread, eggs, sausages, smoothies and other goodies. Another nice amenity here at the hotel is that in addition to the free breakfast, they also have free coffee in the lobby and they also offer a free light dinner...now this is what I call convenient!
