Hotels Near Brannfjell bålplass in Oslo

My husband, two adult sons, sister, her husband and I travelled here for my sisters 50th birthday. Did not know what to expect from the hotel as is in the city centre so could be hit or miss. Did not have to worry at all. The staff are absolutely amazing and could not do enough for us. The buffet breakfast set us up for the day. The rooms were spacious and clean and had a mini fridge. Also small ironing board and iron in the rooms should you wish you iron! Water on tap available in the lobby, in the restaurant, in the gym and in the lounge and all had a choice of still or sparkling water. Along with a variety of Nespresso coffee pods. Could not tell that the hotel was in the middle of the centre. Brilliant location and place to chill with the train station within walking distance. If we were coming back to Oslo, this is where we would stay as everything you need and want is close by. Made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

This hotel is well located to explore Oslo. The breakfast buffet is large, varied and excellent. The staff are friendly, but could be better informed to help guests with their questions. Rooms are relatively spacious with a. funky modern decor but aren’t cleaned unless guests request it. The included dinner can be hit or miss in terms of quality, quantity and service. Overall, a good, not a great, choice.

Nice place and nice room however, bed sheets and pillow cases could’ve been put on already before we arrived there rather than we having to do it ourselves and could have been better with soap In the bathroom. Otherwise amazing for the price!

Went for a concert- hotel was clean beds were comfortable and shower was hot breakfast was awesome the tv in room didn’t connect though the only down side. I would definitely stay again

The Thon Rosenkrantz is very strategically located just two blocks (or 3 minute walk) from the Parliament, university, main boulevard, and the main shopping streets. The only hotel even mores strategically located would be The Grand. It also sits right on the tram line - talk about convenience in getting around Oslo - just make sure you get the public transport pass that allows you to take bus, tram or metro at no extra cost! The reception staff are all very warm, engaging and accommodating - and we dealt with at least three of them. The breakfast team (Paleo) was less warm by comparison but still helpful when asked. In the two days we were there, the hotel was very busy so Paleo was extremely tight. But the reception boasted that they had the best hotel breakfast in the city - and having tried it twice, I was inclined to believe their boast. They had the orange-squeezing machine that delivered fresh juice, they had both grilled and fresh veggies, their butter was home-made in a large tub that you scooped out of, not those in small plastic containers, they had a bread toaster, the cereal corner had a great spread, and they did the bacon and sausage very well. The rooms are larger than average, with even a small alcove for a sofa set, chair and coffee table, which I found impressive. The bedside tables were of leather though I did find their surface a bit too small. The bathroom was unusually large, with a novel hair-body wash dispenser in the shower. Though I found it odd that there was only one small hook in the entire bathroom. My wife found the toilet seat quite high - probably great for the average Dutch guy but my wife was only 5 feet tall. We also appreciated the coffee maker which seems to becoming a standard for high-class hotels. About the rooms, guests will notice that the room numbers are painted on the door two-foot high! This was the first time we had seen something like this and we took pictures - like jail cells - ha ha ha!

Clarion Hotel Savoy has got mixed reviews, but our 3-night stay was really pleasant and I would definitely book it again. The hotel has old-time charm, and though the standard room is quite small (compared to the huge bed, which occupied most of the room), it was functional with a beautiful bathroom. The location of Hotel Savoy in the city centre is excellent and unless you want to explore Oslo on foot, you can easily do it by tram or bus. The best part of the stay was the delicious high-quality breakfast and ”light” dinner, which turned out to be a 3-course meal (warm main, soup and various salads). I don’t eat meat so I just asked the staff member in passing if there was any vegetarian warm-dish option and the next night they had prepared delicious chickpea curry as an extra dish for me. That’s what I call real customer service!😀 Also, the afternoon final (coffee and cake) was a plus in this expensive city. The only (tiny) minuses were a very small selection of TV channels and (in my personal opinion) uncomfy pillows (one gigantic, the other flat and lumpy). But after strolling around Oslo for many hours and enjoying the evening meal, those issues didn’t prevent us from sleeping well in our quiet room facing the inner yard.

Wonderful! Award-winning design. Scandinavian design at its best. Biggest bathrooms you have ever seen, wonderful, thoughtful staff and clean, clen, clean. It is off the beaten path - not close to downtown and toursit attractions, but if you want to see part of Oslo most tourists do not see - and you will be rewarded by getting off the beaten path, take the Metro here - it's close by -- and enjoy Oslo at its best.

This hotel is very much NOT located in Oslo, it is on the outskirts. There is a train station nearby, so you can get the train from Airport to the railway station and then a taxi to the hotel (It is not walkable). The hotel staff are friendly and efficient, the restaurant offered good food and the breakfasts were excellent. The room was clean, had a desk and good Wi-Fi. Nearby is a large shopping mall that offered some additional dining options and a supermarket. Overall this is a solid option if you are in business in this district, it is not an option if you want to be in central Oslo.

Das Frühstück ist das Highlight in diesem Hotel, unglaublich gut und die Auswahl mehr als ausreichend. Die Zimmer könnten klimatisiert sein, das trifft wahrscheinlich in Norwegen eher nur auf wenige Wochen zu. Die Betten sind gut, die Zimmer ausreichen ausgestattet. Ich hätte mir eine Art Pantoffeln gewünscht, da ich Teppichboden nicht so gerne Barfuss in Hotels begehe. Vielleicht kann man da nachbessern.

We needed a place to stay overnight as we were connecting a flight at OSL. One of the airport hotels seems like an obvious choice as we only had 14 hours in Oslo. We didn't require a lot of service as it was a brief stay but whatever service we received from the staff were mediocre at best. On the surface the hotel looks okay but a closer look reveals the poor condition of the place. The door seal was torn and the laminate sheet on the bathroom door were starting to peel. Dust was collecting on the glasses in the room, suggesting it hadn't been used/cleaned for a while. The room was very warm and the air conditioner did little to condition the temperature. The windows were permanently shut so there was no way to ventilate the room. We raised our concern with the hotel and got given an electric fan. Surely making the windows functional would've made more sense. If safety is a concern then there are windows that only open a few inches wide, thus mitigating the risk of a fall. If it was a really hot day I could imagine guests suffering from the lack of ventilation. For us it was a discomfort. Shower screen was poorly designed and it was difficult to keep the floor outside the shower area dry. For the asking price I expected more. It didn't need to be special or luxury. It just needed to be well maintained and functional.
