Terrible stay in the suite - don’t bother
Avoid this hotel.
We stayed in the suite:
- and it was cold - the heating was luke warm and it is a large room. There was a small heater on full blast. It was ineffective.
-TV remote was out of batteries and needed to be fixed - it happens.
-The duvet was smaller than the bed.
- We put the kettle on and it blew a fuse. We sat in darkness for 20minutes to be told we can’t use the kettle or other appliances whilst the heater is on and essentially blamed for the blackout.
The manager was defensive and thought offering us a meal at 9.30pm (we’d eaten) or a superior room with a view (at 9.45pm), which we would not see nor were we inclined to pack and unpack were suitable solutions.
We requested more duvets (two single duvets arrived). A discount was apparently not possible because we’d booked via Hotels.com.
The dialogue continued the next day at check out. With this many failings, we did not expect nor appreciate repeating ourselves nor a third and another defensive, long and tiresome conversation.
The manager offered afternoon tea when we were due to fly out. She offered a voucher for our next stay. There certainly would not be one. She was not inclined to recommend a discount to Hotels.com because in her mind she had offered (non) solutions. It was truly very disappointing.
Yes we received a discount but only because we held our ground. It should have been forthcoming without so much effort.

no luggage racks so had to have suitcases on floor which was difficult with bad backs. if bathroom light was turned off, the electric outlet inside bathroom did not work. therefore we could not use a nightlight. bathtub was so deep. very difficult to climb in and out of bathtub. my husband hurt his toe climbing into the bathtub. breakfast buffet was excellent!!!

The hotel staff were really helpful and nice, the location is perfect for walking to tourist attractions, restaurants, shops and transport links.
The beds are very nice but the room could do with some attention. Main issue is that children are not allowed in the swimming pool until the weekend and has to be at a certain time

No food or drink after 22:00, that is bad…
5 star Hotel with no Room Service after 22:00 and no dining at all is something that I have never seen. Not a single bell boy helped me with my 4 bags. Not when coming or going. Check out was really slow. Did not help me get transport. This is an hotel with old fame, but no standard or service.

If you have lots of money you’re going to think this hotel is amazing. It’s housed celebrities. But if you’re an average person thinking to “treat” yourself? Especially by booking through Expedia? You will be given a dingy room with old carpet and worn furniture at the back of the hotel where the karaoke bar blasts until 3am The staff will smile and tell you there is nothing they can do because “they’re so booked” (mid week on a Wednesday when Norwegian kids are back in school and it is effectively low travel season) but they will offer you complimentary champagne vouchers for the bar. Trust me on this… skip this hotel ABS take the $500/night tie willing to pay to slower rates hotel but spring for THEIR top room. You’ll enjoy that experience way better.

A magnificent, storied hotel at the doorstep of Oslo's charming historic city centre and a short wall from the harbour, cathedral and train station. The breakfast package was superb and is the right way to set out your day of Oslo discovery and adventure.

Nice but Noisy
Nice overall. Only a couple recommendations. The street noise from passerbys ALL night long made it difficult to sleep and the Mitsubishi split was noisy as well. Room 602. A suggestion for the noise would be some sort of white noise or window film to curb noise.
