Top Central Oslo Hotel Reviews

Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station

8/10 Good

"Overall location was great. Easy to get to the train station and local sight seeing areas. Hotel itself was fine, nothing spectacular. Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms."

Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Oslo

8/10 Good

"Had a great room with a city view. Construction work going on next door but the double glazing helped enormously. Room clean was generally good but came too late in the day. Requested an earlier clean. Enjoyed the piano player in the lobby. No bar service due to strike. Concierge often not available. Overall, well located and would return. Gep, Melbourne"

Comfort Hotel Xpress Youngstorget

8/10 Good

"We loved this Hotel. It is not for you if you are looking for fancy or even 3 star amenitues but the soft spring coil mattress with foam topper was comfortable. The duvet and pillows were excellent. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the atmosphere is hip and the whole place is geared toward longer stays. And the location is perfect. 15 min walk to the oslofjord(waterfront) and closer to other key sites. Very walkable area of the city. They are working hard at environmental sustainability. The back side of the hotel has a view of the city but it is in the centre of the Oslo nightclub scene so weekends are noisy if your window is open. However you really feel part of the energy of the city."

Smarthotel Oslo

4/10 Poor

"Small and bad. Sheets unclean, had to make your own bed, only one towel for a two person booking, dirty walls, light flickering lights that needed changing, elevator and self check in did not work or had problems, not vey “smart” at all…good luck if your on the top floor, could be going up and down dropping other guests off before elevator isn’t in use/ needed….our room looked completely different to photos (box room) which is not “sound deadening”. Extremely hot hotel, heating on high! Price state was a variation bit of a con, twice the price we were expected after add ons , booking fees, breakfast. Could have something a lot nicer for the price! Ran down needs maintenance! Would not recommend!"

Anker Hotel

6/10 Okay

"A mixed stay to be honest. The bed and room is nice, but then the window framing didn’t fit and was roughly constructed. The bathroom was fine but then just a single unlabelled mystery pump dispenser in shower. The staff were helpful and nice (shout out to those supporting breakfast), and the location was handy for trams (using Oslo pass). But you could hear the trams rubbling past the hotel even on higher floors. There’s good eating options a stroll up the road, but again you could hear bar music at night. A mixed stay but noting that the breakfast was great, lots of choices, and although busy was always fresh."
