We stayed here for 2 nights . The room was a little bit small for a family of 4 . But the hotel itself and rooms are very clean and nice . The area of the hotel is beautiful. The breakfast and dinner area was fantastic. Food is very good and delicious probably better than most restaurant outside.

Hotel's Favorite
This was our second time staying at this wonderful hotel. This time it was undergoing some renovation, so the front was closed off. However, the quality remained the same and we were very pleased with our stay. Besides a perfect location and the charming atmosphere, the delicious breakfast AND dinner that are included are a real plus. It was a perfect way for us to experience Oslo in a relaxed and satisfying manner.

The hotel is based just outside of the main city centre but with such easy assess to the tram and bus services you didn't need to be any closer. The front if house staff were all so incredibly helpful

The property was under renovation and a temporary entrance and reception were set up. The room although a Superior Double was very ordinary and past its prime. Good size room with coffee machine, iron and ironing board, safe and mini bar. The bathroom is basic, no bath mat, sink cracked, no extraction fan and pathetic dim lighting. Corridor with stained carpet and used as storage for linen trolleys. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast buffet with great variety and high quality products. The employees at front desk were pleasant and efficient. The property is well located in the embassy district and you can easily walk to the Royal Palace or to the Port area in about 15 minutes.

As you probably saw, we are undergoing a renovation, half the hotel at a time. We are updating all the issues you mentioned and in march next year the whole renovation will be finished. I hope you will come back then. Yours truly, Karl Einar Sundby-Bagaas General Manager

Dear ATLAS313, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I wish you had a better experience, it is feedback like this that we learn from and use to improve. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. We are sorry about the room not being made up the second day and we follow up this matter. We are undergoing a renovation and when the renovation is finished we will have better ventilation system with cooling for these hot summer days. This is a old hotel and some of our double rooms are on the smaller side unfortunately. If you are on these parts again contact me so I can make sure you get a flawless experience to a very good price. Yours truly, Karl Einar Sundby-Bagaas General Manager

The house has a nice facade and beautiful furniture, the rooms looks confortable, but our experience was not the best because the air conditioning not only was malfunctioning but the room temperature was like a sauna. We proceed to inform this situation to the receptionist, and the response was “the air conditioning is fixed but if you continue experiencing problems with the temperature, just open the window” The sheets never being replaced for three days. And the room never being cleaned. According with the receptionist, we should asked in advance in order to have this service.

We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. We do not have air conditioning in our rooms and when we now are refurbishing the hotel with start this month, we are going to install a new ventilation system that will make sure the hotel is much cooler on the hot summer days, when finished. We inform at check in and in the room that you must let us know if you want stay cleaning, you can do this at any point before 10 Pm a day in advance for your stay. I am sorry for the inconvenience this caused you during youyr stay. Yours truly, Karl Einar Sundby-Bagaas General Manager

Good location, but poor noise isolation made it difficult to sleep in a room right over the main entrance. The room was clean enough but not in particularly good condition, the bathroom was very small and the shower door was incomplete and broken. Food was good and the service the same. The hotel has a certain "old world charm", but it was overpriced in relation to the experience.

We are looking forward to a total renovation of the hotel starting this summer where we will both refurbish and also rebuild and make the smallest bathrooms bigger. I hope we can welcome you back after the renovation to rectify the lacklustre impression you got from this stay. Yours truly, Karl Einar Sundby-Bagaas General Manager

Gabelshus is a home away from home! Immediately when you step inside the majestic entrance of this historical and beautful hotel you are warm welcomed by a serviceminded and smiling staff. The hotel is situated in the Frogner district of the city, a nice walk from Vigelandsparken, Aker Brygge and The Royal Castle. Frogner is a beautiful area of the city, quiet, yet close to the bustling city environment. Gabelshus offers a nice lounge with a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel library is decorated in a venerable style, a perfect place to relax with a coffee or a glass of wine. Rooms are spacious and decorated in a nice mix of old and new. Very comfortable beds! Make sure you have time to enjoy breakfast with a large selection of hot and cold dishes, fresh fruit, nice coffee and a good selection of ecological and glutenfree products. I have honestly never had more tasting bread for breakfast any other place I`ve stayed. "Fika", the swedish word for a so called "nordic version of afternoon tea" and supper is included in the room price. We travel a lot, often with our dog. To bring your dog to any Choice hotel is never a problem, neither at Gabelshus. Make sure to let the hotel know beforehand and you are given a designated room. You only pay a small extra amount for cleaning. Frogner area is a perfect place to walk your dog. I can highly recommend a stay at the Gabelshus, close to anything you want to explore or do in the city, yet situated in such a nice and quiet area.

I had two night at this beautiful property in the center of Oslo. The hotel location is optimal, close to everything, but still on an stylish and calm street. Check in and out was super fast, the room was immaculate and I had my own balcony overlooking the street, the perfect spot for a morning coffee. They serve a generous breakfast with many options, different bread types and healthy snacks. Included on the room rate is a dinner buffer service. Both days i had a delicious soup, a warm dish including fish or meet, salad and vegetarian options. The perfect ends for a work day was with a glass of wine seated in front of the fire place at the hotel charming library. If you are looking for a hotel with a character and to experience the real feeling of Oslo, this is the one!
