We travelled to Oslo for a weekend to see friends and go to the opera. We stayed at the Bristol which dates from the 1920s and retains its charming public rooms from that time. The bedroom wasn't enormous but was what one would expect from an older hotel. Following advice posted on this site we requested a quiet room and... More

Other than what seems like the lack of desk and restaurant staff, our stay was wonderful. The breakfast buffet is the best we have ever had and so were the desserts and coffee in the lounge. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel was clean and well serviced. We had a quiet room facing the back and were... More

The Hotel Bristol is located in the center of Oslo, an easy walk to/from train and tram, the port, shopping, and site seeing. It is not ostentatious, just authentically classy. So I was not surprised to learn that the world-famous musicians we had heard the night before at the Spektrum arena were also staying there. The staff were all very... More

Stayed here in february 2013 for two nights. Stayed here for free, so I can not comment on the prices. We had a double room in the 5th (or 4th, I forgot) floor with a balcony. Oslo's weather did not allow us to enjoy the balcony, but I am sure it's great in the summer months when the temperatures are... More

Was here for business, and did not stay overnight. I had my bike with me, but the could not help me find a safe place to park it. Had the lunch buffet, much of the food tasted old and stale, there are so many much better places to eat and stay in Oslo.

We arrived late at night and quite tired as we'd done the Norway in a Nutshell Tour from Bergen(highly recommended) and the very nice man in reception-by far the friendliest hotel receptionist we came across in Norway- gave us an inside room, as it would be quieter.Room was fine if a bit 'faded' and had the ubiquitous(in Norway) two singles...

hotel is traditional and has a certain relaxing feeling about it. Great location , great atmosphere and certainly wonderful staff. I booked via Hotel Club and had an excellent deal inc breakfast as Norway can be very expensive. only thing to watch out for is the STATIC on everything.. carry a pen with you to press the lift buttons !

Efficient and informative check-in. Beautifully appointed and elegant bedroom with bath and shower. Mini bar contents are electronically linked to your account..... so only remove items if you intend to consume them. Room safe, dressing table/desk with morror and table lamp. Reasonable storage space but shelf and cupboard space limited. The hotel has a fitness centre with exercise machines and... More

If you can afford to visit Oslo, you could do a lot worse than splash out and have a couple of nights at the Hotel Bristol. Very elegant, with an old world charm but very modern rooms and very genteel, obliging staff. We stayed for two nights and almost felt like staying in our room just to enjoy the comfort... More
