I stayed one night at this hotel in connection with a meeting and a dinner downtown Oslo, in April. I arrived at The National Theatre Station at 11:00 hours with the airport train. I guess it took me some 10-15 minutes to walk from the station to the hotel, which has a very central location not far away from the... More

Stayed at Rica Victoria, right in the city centre. The hotel is simply superb. everything up to expectations, good service. I'll be back whenever I visit Oslo. The city is very expensive though. Spent around $60 for fried fish & french fries & glass of soda. Not typical elsewhere in the world.

I stayed here one night on business. I was given an upgrade and the room was really nice. Shower was good but could be more powerful. Duvets were wonderful. Bed was soft but still comfortable. The Aircon was noisy but not so that I could not sleep. The buffett breakfast was huge. The hot dishes did not look that inviting... More

Among the best located hotels i Oslo - dead in the centre of everything. Efficient and comfy, good breakfast and high quality mattresses make for a good night's sleep. But beware: The only way to turn off the floodlight by the entrance door when going to bed is to turn off the main switch, thereby cutting the power to all... More

The location is very central, but you need to take a cab from Oslo S. If you arrive with the train, use the stop at "Nationaltheatret" As a woman I don't walk alone in that neighbourhood at night - so take a cab if you arrive late. The room I had was big, and it was no noise from the... More

I arrived at the hotel late in the evening with my two colleges and got the worst welcome I've ever received in a hotel reception. The guy working there was rude and made us all feel unwelcome and as if we were waisting his time. My room was nice, good size for a single room. Clean and nicely decorated. The... More

I read some of the other reviews before booking this hotel and thought I would give it go. I found this hotel to be excellent! from the comfortable room, nice lobby, great location and most of all the buffet breakfast... I looked forward to waking up each morning and getting down there before all the crowds. It's a short walk... More

This hotel is very good located near the Bryggen and close to Kals Johan shopping street and the parlament. The rooms are very good - specially the superior rooms are very comfortable with all you would expect. Very clean and exellent breakfast buffet. It is possible to get access to gym facilities near by the hotel

Like all Norwegian hotels, prices are quite high. The hotel's location is great with walking distance to all important downtown locations. The hotel itself has seen its best years. You're lucky in case you are put into one of the remodeled rooms. I spent nights in both new and old rooms - none of them were really clean. Rooms can... More
