Hotels Near Olavsklosteret in Oslo

We spent three nights at this hotel and while it wasn't terrible we would not choose to go back. The rooms are small and have minimal furnishings. There is nowhere to unpack and little place for relaxing or working. We did appreciate having a view of the Opera House but the extra money we paid for a balcony was wasted as the balcony had no furniture. The breakfast was fine; we did not have a problem finding a seat though others we saw did. The only 'extra' in the lobby is water; other snacks and drinks must be purchased. The staff was uneven. On our arrival day the people at the front desk were quite rude, later staff were pleasant. One note - though Oslo is a very safe city, the area around this hotel attracts what homeless population we saw in the city (there seems to be a drop in clinic there). While we never felt threatened, we did have to change our route near the hotel to avoid unwanted attention. Some travelers might prefer not to have to deal with this. We saw many other hotels in the area and think they would be a better option.

The fourth super-leady family, the children love. Beach in home format, very funny. Breakfast with a lot of varieties!

The room was spacious and the location was convenient! The view from the 6th floor was pleasurable as well. The room itself comes with bare minimum amenities and the plug outlet are situated in peculiar areas of the room but at least the shower pressure was nice and hot. If you’re just looking for a room to lay your head down, look no further.

The location of the hotel is very good, although there is a few amenity in the room, the overall is not bad.

The hotel has old time charm and you can tell it’s very old. The receptionist were late check in us in as there was only one person working at the counter and then when it was our turn the receptionist left us without a word to talk on the phone. The staff are unhelpful, no one helped us with our bags or offered to help. We had to drag our bags through some parts of the hotel that had stairs. The towels weren’t clean either. The hotel has great location and we had fun watching the fireworks at the terrace.

Great hotel, clean, well decorated, and good breakfast. I stayed in several Scandic hotels in Norway and Sweden, and I like this one the best. The only minor drawback is the location, which is a bit far from the city center, but there is a Flybussen stop nearby, so it is convenient to get to and from the airport.

Arrived on our ferry from Copenhagen before lunch so left luggage and wandered until checkin was possible. All so good so far. When we came to check in we asked to make sure the room didn’t have feather bedding - assured it was clear of feathers, however when went up to room this wasn’t the case. Went down, explained at which point after many discussions (explaining that I’m allergic to feather bedding over and over (as we had with the booking) I was offered another room which apparently was better (but the guy on reception didn’t seem to understand my question as to whether the new room would be free from feathers ….!) Went up to the room and of course it had feather bedding. We moved all of our luggage into the new room and my OH went down to reception this time and the same guy simply didn’t understand what we were explaining so OH requested another member of staff who did understand second time around. (Later bedding was all replaced which was then fine. ) the surprising thing was they had members of staff on reception whose English wasn’t quite up to basic requests (unusual for anywhere in Scandinavia) (while admitting my Norwegian is non-existent!) The bathroom was possibly the smallest I have ever witnessed, albeit it did have a bath with shower over. All v clean and fully functional. The pool and sauna were ok but a little small, but if you timed it you could use them. Generally the staff were a little slow (perhaps the hotel doesn’t have enough staff currently to service guests?) and service alone would put me off coming to stay here again unfortunately.

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.

The staff went above and beyond, I am amazed about their professionalism and their hospitality . It was one of the best hotel and staff that I ever met! The general manager, receptionists, cleaning staffs , everyone was very helpful and friendly . The hotel is super clean, the food is amazing and the beds are very comfortable. Thank you to all the stuff for warm welcome!

It's far away from the city. I booked a family room. The sofa bed couldn't be turned on, and the phone didn't work. I had to go downstairs to find a waiter. When I checked out, the room fee was directly deducted from the credit card without asking any questions. Fortunately, I received a message and told him that I had prepaid with Ctrip, and then told me that I needed the approval of the boss before the room fee could be refunded. Let me wait a day or two. The only satisfactory place is that the breakfast is not bad.
