This hotel is just a few minutes walk to the train station and several other transportation lines. You can easily walk to the Parliament and the Royal Palace and so many other wonderful sites. The lobby is really pretty, with lots of little cozy spaces to hang out. The breakfast provided is outstanding! It is a full spread with so many different options for people who are vegetarians or gluten-free. We had a room with twin beds and the beds are pushed together. The rest of the room was spacious with two chairs, small table and a desk. The bathroom is tiny. There is a very small shower with collapsible doors that can take a while to configure. Either way you're going to get water all over the floor when you take a shower. There are three restaurants on site but only one of them was operational when we visited, which was kind of a bummer. We would have really enjoyed having the option to have dinner in the more casual bistro after a long day of sightseeing. We were there five nights and didn't hear noises from the rooms around us, save for one night when we heard some someone walking around above us. Overall a very quiet Hotel. Outside noise was a bit different, though. We were there in July so we wanted the window open to let in fresh air (there is no air conditioning.) We could often hear music outside and sometimes people talking extremely loudly in the middle of the night. If we were to get the same great package rate and go back to oslo, we would definitely stay here again

Front desk staff very helpful and friendly. Helpful in accommodating our luggage transfer to Bergen.

Waiter and his assistant/ bartender in lobby cafe very rude. Had dinner there night of World Cup finals but early enough it wasn’t busy yet. Waiter took care of others who arrived 5-10 min after us but whom he obviously knew. Then very nasty when taking drink orders- and then after mistakes w cocktails, we said we would take a beer instead. Without even asking what type of beer, he just brought us beer of his choice.

Only bad experience we had during our week in Norway.

This is my go-to hotel in Oslo as the beds are so comfy. BUT on this occasion, the (Superior) room they gave me was tiny (with a large bathroom, not so useful), it was down some stairs, which is not great when one has a bad back but the really horrible thing this time was the stench of 'rotten cabbage/sewage' in the hallway outside the room. Awful, but apparently it was due to the kitchen cleaning something. But why not put guests in other corridors then? The ones I walked through to get to the lift were fine. Will have to rethink next time I go to Oslo.

We stayed in a \"Business\" room, which was fine but a bit tired. The bathroom was small and featured a creative collapsible shower stall. This made it impossible to access the sink while someone was showering. Breakfast was very good. The overall facility could use a renovation, however. One word of caution about parking. It's convenient and well-lit, but the spaces and lanes were made for small cars. It was challenging to get our larger car in and out of spaces.

I am an avid traveler, and this is easily one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. In sum, we were offered second rate service with a side of judgment and a hint of dismissiveness, not only by the employees but even by the arrogant guests that filled the halls. In a city as beautiful as Oslo, it was disappointing to say the least to find such ugliness sitting right at the center of it. First and foremost, my husband and I were given a room with construction happening literally right outside our hotel room door in the hallway on the very wall adjacent to our room. It was a unique but definitely unwanted wake up call every morning by banging and drilling on the wall. There was no warning, apology, or even acknowledgement of this occurrence.

Our final night, before we had to wake up at six in the morning for a flight, there was some sort of party happening inside the hotel with music loudly playing right outside our window until at least one in the morning. When we initially complained about the music, the receptionist lied and said the music was not coming from inside the hotel but from across the street, a palpable falsity given how loud and clear the music was and something the receptionist later contradicted when confronted once again a few hours later as the music had not stopped. In fact, we learned the music was coming from an event being hosted on the second floor of the hotel.

On top of this, the service in general during our three day stay was fil

We only stayed one night at Hotel Bristol but wish it had been longer. Our room was spacious and clean with all of the amenities you could ask for, including lovely L'Occitane products in the bathroom. We were facing the street which was fine on a Sunday night, but I suspect it could be a bit noisy if a Friday or Saturday night. One small criticism is the pillows - they were so flat and not very comfortable. Recommend asking for a few extra if you are used to a fuller pillow.
The breakfast buffet is one of the best we have had - so much choice and everything tasted incredible. We would love to return one day!

A Historic Gem with a Few Quirks

Staying at Hotel Bristol in Oslo feels like stepping into another era, in the best possible way. The hotel’s historic charm and elegant décor make it one of the city’s most atmospheric places to stay. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a grand, old-world ambiance—rich wood paneling, classic chandeliers, and a timeless sophistication that makes it clear why this hotel has been a favorite for decades.

Beyond the aesthetics, the lively atmosphere sets it apart. The hotel is always buzzing, whether it’s guests enjoying the beautiful lounges or locals stopping by for afternoon tea. Despite the constant activity, the staff manage to be both exceptionally friendly and efficient, making sure every guest feels welcome.

Now, for the reasons it didn’t quite earn five stars: The mattresses are on the softer side, which may not be ideal for those who need firmer support. Additionally, our room was quite warm, even with the window open, which made sleeping a little challenging.

That said, the location is excellent. Dining options abound nearby, and many of Oslo’s key sights are within walking distance. The overall experience was delightful, and if the hotel addressed the temperature control issue and mattress firmness, it would be an easy five-star stay.

Would we stay here again? Absolutely. Just be prepared for a warm room and a soft bed—everything else is top-notch.

Private functions/parties held on second floor (we were on 5th) kept us awake, with the continual thud thud thud of music. Not what you want, after a long day of travelling or any other day for that matter. Avoid staying during party season, particularly Friday and Saturdays.
