Top Central Oslo Hotel Reviews

Citybox Oslo

10/10 Excellent

"Just needed some shelving or something for clothing"

Hotel Verdandi Oslo

8/10 Good

"For half the price we had half the room size. The economy room was very small but had the essentials. It was perfect for a night sleep. The bed was comfortable and it was very clean. We did not eat at the hotel. It is self check in but there was a staff member in the restaurant ready to help when I had a problem and again when I had a question. The hotel was very convenient to downtown sites and the Central Station. We had no noise. My only negative was that I wish I had packed a sleep mask. Since the bed was near the window there was more light than I wanted. If all you want is a night’s sleep it was perfect."

Clarion Hotel The Hub

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel, staff is super friendly and helpful. The only problem was that check-in is at 4 pm if you arriver earlier you will have a long wait and perhaps a long queue. I understand rooms might be not but it'd be useful to be able to do the check in anyways at the time of arrival instead of waiting until 4 when it gets super busy . Other than that, everything was great!"

Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Oslo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Incredible breakfast included. Had 22nd floor amazing view. Summit Bar on 21st floor gives access to great views for all. Pool is nice plus. Location by Royal Palace and Gardens especially a plus. Great walking distance to waterfront and great areas of city. Trams easy rides to all else."
