Great hotel, great staff, very convenient (right across the street at the Radisson Blu) from the last SAS flybussen (airport bus), good sized room, very good price - and great if travelling with pets. Great location as well - about 500 meters to the Royal Palace, Historical Museum, National Gallery and National Theatre. Will be staying here again when back... More

The bad point: DON'T RELY ON THE WAKE-UP CALLS!!! I asked for a wake-up call 3 times and only one I got to be woken up! The good points: First, the BREAKFAST. Varied and plenty of good food, including fish of course. The waiters were very attentive and nice. I stayed for five days, and it was OK. Wi-fi in... More

Good location, just across the last stop of SAS buss from the Airport. Great breakfast, especially the fruits and freshly squeezed juices. The staff at the lobby is great, very helpful and friendly. The only problem…bathroom is too small, (including toilet), very very small… very uncomfortable So, maximum of stay 2 days

Booked twice, but the first time they were overbooked, and we were directed to another hotel. This time they offered an upgrade to a bigger room for a small amount. Quite, clean room. Short walk to the train station with direct train to airport

Centrally located - just where the airport bus stops and a short walk from the harbour/shops/museums. Excellent breakfasts, friendly service - it is the first time I've ever been asked whether I was content with a shower or would prefer a bath, and I appreciated that. My room was not large, but it was plenty big enough, everything seemed very... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights during the middle of the week. Not the largest room in the world nor the biggest bathroom but very comfortable, warm and quiet - the very thick door helps. I was offered a room at the front or the quieter back. In fact the only sounds you can hear from the front... More

Clean, comfortable room. On the small side, but adequate and functional room with a comfortable bed. Almost half the price of the hotel where others in my group were staying and I think I had just as good a night's rest! The breakfast is kind of reminiscent of a school cafeteria - not very charming - but the food was... More

...is difficult, but the Rica Holberg is a good start. A comfortable mid-range hotel a few minutes walk from the centre of Oslo (or the tram stops right outside) with incredibly helpful staff and a great breakfast included in the rate.

Comfortable hotel, large room luckily without carpet. Small bathroom but warm and well working. Breakfast nice lika at all Rica hotels, but a lot of irritation from slow working elevator ( there is only one). Also the staff are using this to a large extend, you may wait for minutes for it. Stayed 3 days, my keycard stopped working twice,... More

I have stayed her often whilst visiting Oslo over the last 5yrs or so, and never disappointed. My room was very roomy with lovely comfy bed (well two singels which i pushed together).
