Hotels Near Stortorvet in Oslo

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.

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!

If you're travelling solo and want somewhere handy in the centre of Oslo and aren't too fussed about some usual hotel comforts, then this will tick the box. It's not super expensive but it could also be a bit cheaper for what it offers. The rooms feel like university student rooms, which isn't a bad thing per se. I'm unsure what larger rooms looked like but despite mine having a double bed, 2 people would feel pretty cramped in there. The bathroom/shower was good, no fault there. The bed was comfy but the matress tended to slide around. There's no room service for cleaning up or refreshing linen, they do that on rotations of their own choosing. If you really want that service (which in any other hotel is a daily one) you can request I think. This is fine for 1 night but after a while you feel a bit grimy. I found some clumps of hair on the floor and in an underbed drawer. There's no kettle in the room which is the bare basic that a room should have in terms of amenities so people can make their own tea, coffee or noodles etc. You can buy tea or coffee in reception but it's worth just heading outside to grab something. My room didn't have wardrobe storage but did have wall bracket-hangers which did the job. There were plenty of sockets for charging things. Like I said for a person solo travelling and not wanting a hostel, this place is fine for 1 night or 2. I stayed 3 and it was too long in that hotel and too long in Oslo in general.

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.

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 location is very good, very clean and convenient. The staff were very welcoming and professional when checking in! The hotel has a great sense of design, and the design of the rest area and dining area are very reasonable and convenient!

The hotel is not in the city center, but there is a bus at the door, which is quite convenient. The price is right. There are lush plants in front and a bay in the back. It is suitable for leisure and free travel. The overall feeling is very good

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.
