The location was looking ok when I booked. But the size of the rooms, the service, and last but not least, the value for money was really bad. For the price I could have had an excellent room in the city centre, on a five-star hotel. I know, because my collegue had one of those. more

I had the pleasure of staying at this small but very decent property for three nights in january 2009. It is centrally located, free wifi, easily accesible affordable room service, clean rooms and very nice staff. All I need to conduct my business It's not a 5 star property, but the staff are 5 star easily. Always eager to help... more

This hotel is in an upscale residenial area on the west side of the city. The room was spacious by NO standards, clean, large bathroom with a range of amenities, and free wifi. It is a bit careworn, but still charming. The restaurant on property is an Egon, part of a chain, but the breakfast buffet was extensive. Within a... more

I was in Oslo for a 1-week business trip and booked this hotel upon recommendation by my colleague. The hotel is situated in an upmarket residential neighbourhood, very close to Vigelands Sculpture Park. The taxi fare costs approx NOK170 from the Oslo Central Station. The bus service is prompt and timely, and is only a 10 min ride to the... more

Stayed at the hotel for one night in May . Had a room facing a side street which was ok. Rather small room and bathroom. The hotel is a former residential house in the socalled best part of Oslo.

I stayed here for three nights on a business trip, and enjoyed my stay with the Rica Hotel. This classical-styled hotel is located in a residential area just outside of the Oslo city center, and is therefore very quiet. Yet the location is still close enough for easy transportation to many sites. A bus stop is across the street, downtown... more

I was so pleased with my stay. We got a brill deal on expedia paying 60 pounds for two nights and the third night free. Because of the bargain price I was very worried. No need! The hotel was a really comfortable and clean 3 star hotel. The service was good and the rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated. Our... more

We stayed at the Hotel Rica Bygdoy Alle on June 7 & 8, 2006. We made our reservations at the last minute and were disappointed that we couldn't find a hotel room in central Oslo. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to take the bus to the west end where Hotel Rica is located. It is a... more

Stayed two nights at the Rica Bydgoy Alle hotel in June 2005. The hotel location is quite close to the city center and most of the major attractions are reached by foot (though a deasent walk). We arrived to Oslo by the airport train and that was a 20 minute walk to the hotel. Taxi could be used but that... more
