The reception staff were very attentive and the facilities were very good, the location right by the sea was very nice. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice for everyone. Our room was a nice size with very comfortable beds and everywhere was very clean. Do not expect the air conditioning that is listed as it does not have it, just air recirculation (which for us didn`t work anyway), so the room was rather stuffy as it was quite warm outside when we stayed.The bathroom was very nice, but there was no bathrobe or slippers as listed. Be wary of getting a taxi into and back from Oslo centre, the journey in was a fixed price of around £28 which we thought was quite expensive for a 10 minute ride, but on the way back we got a taxi from the station and was shocked when the fare came to £64 !! and it was only 7pm, I`m pretty sure we were ripped off!
I would really have liked to have given this a five star review, because the reception staff were super friendly, making sure I knew where the tourist attractions were and how to get there on my first day and letting me use the toilet when I popped back on my last day well after I’d checked out, as well as giving me a room with a phenomenal view of the fjord, but a couple of things took the shine off for me. One was the lack of air con. I mis-understood how hot Oslo could be, which is kind of on me and not the hotel BUT the DIY open window and fan arrangement weren’t entirely satisfactory, and while I was in my room, I never felt entirely comfortable with how hot I was. I guess the opposite could also be true if you can’t control how hot or cold your room gets in winter (when I assume my imaginings of snow drifts is actually a thing). Secondly was the breakfast. I can in no way fault the food - smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, bread, carrot cake (always a joy, whatever the time of day), melon, cheese and ham, but trying to find a table was sometimes impossible. It was particularly difficult for me as a solo traveller. It involved getting up early, crossing my fingers and piling everything on my plate in one go, just in case. Some days it was fine, but one day, after walking what felt like the entire length of the shopping centre getting increasingly dispondent, I had to perch on the end of a table with a group of pensioners who were staying there after two weeks travelling up and down Scandinavia together on train. Fortunately I am mature enough to be able to make small talk, but I can see how it wouldn’t go down so well with everyone else. Coffee was also a hit hit and miss - I was only offered some two out of four days. These little quirks are a real shame, because the location is great (handy for the train and city centre tourist attractions), and as I say, the staff on reception were lovely (and based on what I heard while I was standing in line, some of the other guests can be quite demanding). If I’m in Oslo again, I would definitely consider staying here again (but maybe bring a handheld fan or multiple layers of clothing, depending on the season) and maybe avoiding the breakfast.
完美的奧斯陸住宿。距奧斯陸中央車站 (Oslo S) 很方便。從機場乘火車到這裡,從車站步行5分鐘到酒店。附近有很多商店和餐館。房間寬敞舒適。早餐豐盛可口。我在挪威訪問期間吃過的最好的酒店早餐。還有免費的簡單晚餐。肯定會再次留在這裡!如何從機場乘坐火車:在到達區右轉。不要乘坐“Flytoget”或“機場火車”,而是沿著牆壁向左走,乘坐 Vy 火車。 Kiosk 有英語並選擇 Oslo S 作為目的地。下到 4 號軌道,然後乘坐前往 Drammen 或 Kongsberg 方向的火車。他們會在火車上檢查您的車票 (114 Kn)。到達 Oslo S 後,按照指示牌在街道上向 Karl Johans Gate 方向出口。朝 Clarion Hotel Norda 前進,經過 H&M,在漢堡王右拐彎,然後有一座帶有大型民間劇院標誌的建築。
