Voksenåsen Hotel - ’ High above the Norwegian capital of Oslo, in the hills of Holmenkollen, lies an idyllic hotel with a fascinating history. From its perch on forested slopes, Voksenåsen hotell enjoys mesmerising views of the capital and fjord below – but a sojourn here offers just as much culture as nature. Designed in the 1950s Voksenåsen hotell offers a combination of stunning natural scenery and elegant mid-century Nordic architecture. Throughout the hotel, panoramic windows erase the boundaries between the interior and the sloping pine forests that surround – giving an effect of bringing the outside in. At 501 metres above sea level, the hotel terrace enjoys spectacular views of the Oslo Fjord beyond the woodland canopy, and the spacious hotel grounds feature an outdoor swimming pool, a walking trail and a Korean bell tower.

If you are looking for a hotel with a beautiful view from your room, then you should not book this hotel. The hotel's statements promise a beautiful view of Oslo from every room. In practice, this only applies from a few rooms. Because of the tall trees you have a view of the trees but not of the city. It's simply misleading. From the edge of the city it is about 7 km up the mountain. That's what you would pay if you did indeed have a nice view. But we have experienced this as a great disappointment. Very sad to have to end our holiday in this way.

A perfect place to relax and unwind with helpful staff members and excellent service. The hotel is close to the town yet in perfect picturesque surrounding and amazing view of the town. It is wonderful to take a walk in the forest area, Very relaxing.

Views over Oslo. Clean, comfortable room. Good breakfast selection. Staff friendly and helpful. It is on the top of a hill and not the easiest to find, car is required for ease. Lacked tea/coffee facilities in room

There was a wedding in the hotel, which meant the hotel staff lost all interest in "normal" guests. The restaurant was open, but limited to two very small tables. Food was ordered at the bar and the choice limited to pizzas which tasted bad. Room had deposit lying around from previous guests. Sauna was cold and switched off at 10pm, with no notice from staff. Location was great, good connection to Oslo and fantastic views.

Totally unspired conference hotel Maybe on the Best location in greater Oslo district on Holmenkollen you find the conference hotel Voksenåsen The food , the lack of any kind of service , leaves one with the impression that no one here really cares about the guest or guest experience The facilities are older and out dated , but thats not what brings this to a really bad experience , however the food and service does The view on a sunny Day is wonderfull

Voksenåsen is an (partly) older building with an interesting histori. Spme parts of the hotel therefor has a bit "old"/"worn out" style/impression. Rooms are ok. Food was very good in quality, limited choise (maybe due to off-season/small number of guests). Good food during meeting breaks. The hotel is at approx 400m over Oslo and you can have great views over the city and Oslo fjord. We had mostly snow and cliuds/fog and nothing to ser. Then you feel quit in the middle of nowhere.

The rooms are good, nothing too special but comfortable, well maintained and very clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They also have great breakfast selection, very good and delicious. And the location is very special. It was very foggy when we were visiting, so we were unable to see the views but the forests around are spectacular.

Restaurant on top of the mountain with a beautiful view from the deck. Good food and lovely ambiance. Good customer service. A good place to relax in the evening after a day of activity. Private dining also possible for small groups.

We were here for a group dinner that turned out to be a celebration for Midsummer. There were great festivities this day but we had a separate room just for our group. We had a traditional buffet and it was okay. We were trying different varieties of food and some were better than others. The setting for this hotel is on a hill and you have a splendid view. It's a hotel and conference center so it looks like there was a lot to offer here. It also looks like it could be very cold when it is winter.

We really enjoyed our 3-night stay! This place is only a 30-minute metro ride from the center of Oslo, yet we felt as if we were in a national park. The atmosphere here is incredible. You're in the middle of the forest, looking down on the city of Oslo and Oslo Fjord. The property is clean and comfortable. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is extensive; there's something for everyone with an array of good choices: yogurt with a zillion toppings, cold cuts, cheeses, eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes, waffles ... Our room was sparsely furnished but had almost everything we needed -- I say "almost" because if I could change one thing, it would be that we would have had an extra place or two to set things down -- an extra little table or a ledge or even a couple of hooks on the walls. And if that's the worst thing I can say about this place, we did just fine! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
