What travelers are saying
- KANBChicago, IL1 contributionI contacted the Visitor Centre directly about an employee how was exemplary.
"(June 2023) I was in Norway for 4 days last month and utilized the Visitors Center. I want to make note of the ease of using the center, cleanliness and professionalism of Olav. I went 2 days in a row for a recommendation of a short trip out of the city and the next day regarding train travel to the airport. Olav assisted me on both occasions and the instructions were very helpful and easy to follow."Written July 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MPnr1Oslo, Norway170 contributionsThis is a part of the library located on the second floor specialized in cartoons.There is a table where you can sit down and make your own cartoons,I had to make a cartoon after getting inspired reading marvel universe.There are comfortable sofas and seats to sit on and read cartoons,work,relax.There is a lot of diffrent cartoons I found for example marvel,spider-man,batman,superman,marvel universe(dictionary of marvel superheroes and bad guys),donald duck,manga(found one with some adult manga inside) and much more.Some of the diffrent areas have signs showing what kind of cartoons are there,if you want help to find a specific cartoon ask the friendly staff.I liked the small rooms with diffrent cartoons in each.Free wifi is available and there are wall sockets to connect laptops to.Serieteket is a very good place to bee at if you like cartoons or if you havent seen cartoons before get to know them here.They also have free cartoon classes if you want to learn.
Best:I found marvel universe here after looking for it about 25 years :)
Worst:There should bee more signs making it easier to find diffrent cartoons.Written February 22, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On the first floor there is newspaper and magazine reading space and a small bookstore. On the second floor there is a Cafe you really need to visit, difficult to describe. The roof and wall paintings are really fantastic.Written August 19, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- permiaIreland40,176 contributionsGeorg Sverdrup was the first Librarian at the University of Oslo, from 1813 - 1845. This eponymous building was inaugurated in the late 1990s. It is a most impressive construct, both inside and out.
A dark façade of stone has a series of imposing columns and lots of glass incorporated. Voluminous inside, it hosts libraries for a number of faculties.
Fine facilities are provided, all in a pleasant environment conducive to study and learning.
Not far away is one of the first buildings of the campus, namely the red brick Physics. Dating from the 1930s its foyer has grand murals. Also here is a long pendulum duly swinging.
A striking Mathematics department is another outstanding design.
Some fine public art is to be seen. Including Media Figure that dates from 1853. Originally placed at Domus Media, likely giving rise to its title, it was relocated to its current domicile in the 1980s.Written July 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Oslo Konserthus is situated in dead city centre, near Oslo Raadhus (Oslo Town Hall), the royal palace, shopping and dining possibilities.

What we liked about them is the central location, quiet setting, great for doing washing and quite spacious except for the tiny second bedroom. And the staff were actually very friendly and always helpful.
But it could be a much better place for visitors with just a few thoughtful additions:
1. Have a small folder explaining how to work the complex TV and where to find a local supermarket or good coffee shop. For our first visit to Oslo there was nothing to help us settle in.
2. Maybe just have a few coffee or tea bags and a few of those small satchels of milk available for guests when they first arrive. This would cost our hosts nothing, but make a big difference to guests.
3. Maybe provide a map of the local area.
4. Install a small soap holder in the shower. It would be so easy to do and save guests from having to put soap and shampoo etc on the floor of the tiny shower as nowhere else to put them.
These are small issues but would make the experience at these apartments a four star rather than a three star experience.
Oslo is not cheap. These a new and spacious apartments are in a good area. With a little thought they could be the best accommodation available; but not yet.Written September 21, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
