Oslo hotellit lähellä Royal Palace

Plussat: I liked the standard of cleanliness. The breakfast buffet in the morning. The access to a washer AND dryer. The proximity to attractions. The outside architecture. The separate dorms. The small size of the dorms. The option to have ensuite dorms.

Miinukset: The stark white halls That the lights were always bright in the hallways at night when others came into the room.

Plussat: Friendly, clean, good breakfast

Plussat: Everything is clean. Recent fresh renovation has the Hostel/Hotel looking tip top from bottom to top. Beautiful lounge. Kitchen. Sheets and towels are Included. Sink in room. Lockers in room (Bring own lock). Seperate room for showers and toilets, keeping your shower low key. Everything was wonderful.

Miinukset: The price.

Plussat: The breakfast was phenomenal, especially considering the price of food in Oslo

Miinukset: The beds were very stiff, bit for the price it is perfect

Plussat: Centrally located and large high quality room in a lovely old building.

Miinukset: We had a room on the road which was a bit noisy at chucking out time so not the best nights sleep

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Twelve strangers in a small cramped space. One chair in the room with practically no place to sit even to put your shoes on. Not sure what all the rave reviews are about. Cleanliness is average for a hostel. Received polite service from one representative, the other could not have cared less if he was there or not. Free Internet did not work for me but I did not pursue the issue to fix it and I noticed others were using it. Average breakfast.

Plussat: Rooms were very comfortable with helpful staff. The breakfast was a nice variety of foods.

Plussat: Breakfast was good

Miinukset: I booked the hotel because it advertised free parking. I don’t know how they can claim this with only 6 parking spots at the hotel. When we arrived to 6 occupies spots, the staff told me I could pay for parking on the street (clearly not free parking). They finally agreed to park my car in an alley and move it if needed. Instead, they woke me up early the next morning because they needed me to move my car so another guest could leave (the hotel clerk did not have his driver’s license). This happened again later in the morning... not ‘free parking’.

Plussat: friendly staff

Miinukset: hypocritical staff

Plussat: Location was convenient and quiet. A bit away from the city center but easy bus/tram ride away. Breakfast was good. I found the little shower enclosure ingenious. Shows you can have a functional bathroom in about 20 square feet. Staff was helpful

Miinukset: Room was pretty small, but probably in line with other Scandinavian hotels.

Plussat: Saga Hotel is a very stylish and comfortable boutique hotel, in a quiet and elegant area of Oslo, fifteen minutes walk from the national theatre, the palace and the main shopping street. (The train from the airport stops at the National Theatre and taxis are available, or without a lot of luggage it's a 15 minute walk - alternatively there are trams from Oslo Central Station). The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent and my room was very comfortable and quiet - I was able to sleep with the windows open without any noise from the street. I was meeting up with Norwegian friends and after calling in to the hotel to take me out they were very impressed and will now be recommending the hotel to their business colleagues. I'll certainly stay here again on my next visit to Oslo.

Miinukset: Apart from excellent breakfast facilities the hotel doesn't have a restaurant or room service - as a single traveler I prefer not to dine out alone, but as I was meeting friends each day this wasn't a problem on this trip. There are lots of restaurants nearby.

Plussat: Loved it

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: there has gone a lot of things wrong for us at the grand hotel unfortunately. there has not been room cleaning the whole weekend. the video system dind't work proper and this could not be solved. the spa we couldn't make use of with our 2 1/2 year old, because he should be 3 years. unfortunately they could only inform us about this after we were dressed in our bading suits. the hotel staff wasn't very cooperating.

Plussat: Sijainti oli loistava ja siivousjalki loistava.

Miinukset: Ainoastaan yksi henkilokunnan jasenista oli loistava.

Plussat: Excellent Hotel and superb staff

Plussat: This is a warm hotel which seems to appreciate its customers. The room was an elegant modern design filled with quality. It was attractive and stylish and contained a very comfortable bed. We really liked this hotel and will stay there again.

Plussat: sijainti, mukava henkilökunta

Miinukset: business matkalla käytetään tietokonetta. Valaistuksen sopivuuteen voisi kiinnittää huomiota, jotta työskentely onnistuisi.

Plussat: the service

Plussat: Nothing. Not as represented. Old Hotel not kept up.

Plussat: erinomainen sijainti ja oikein ystävällinen palvelukunta. upea, kaunis hoteli.

Plussat: hiljainen, hyvä sänky, ystävällinen ja tehokas henkilökunta

Miinukset: aamiaisella täyttä, huoneen viilennystä ei saanut pienennettyä, kylpylä-ja uima-allasosaston esite heikko

Plussat: Sijainti, rauhallisuus, bookkaaminen sisään n. 5 tuntia ennen varsinaista bookkausaikaa

Miinukset: Hinta, myös hieman ränstynyt, aamiaishenkilökunta hieman tylyä

Plussat: location

Miinukset: poor business center (only 1 computer, tiny) poor barkeeper in Grand Cafe: did not know his sherries nor acquavit: served both different sherries and aquavit than asked for. door to french balcony could not be closed properly letting in a lot of noice during the night.

Plussat: I liked the location of the hotel it was very central and the staff we very friendly. The foo was good and the hotel was very clean

Plussat: Stig the Receptionist at front desk who tried to rectify the problems with our rooms

Miinukset: My wife and I arrived on the 17th August 2015, and on attempting to check-in we were told the "computer system" was not working and therefore we we not able to check in. We were told to either wait (they could not provide an estimate on how long it would take). After a 15-min wait we were checked in "manually". As an American Carlson member, I presented my Club Carlson Gold card, but it wasn't accepted because my trip was booked through Kayak! Nevertheless after a short delay we were in our room. Immediately we noticed that the carpet in the room was dirty, and there were 2-single beds (as opposed to a double as we booked) Credit to the front desk staff who promptly reassigned us to a "newly refurbished" room. The room was a marked improvement over the last, and we happily settled in; unpacking our suitcases and preparing for an afternoon of sightseeing. On return in the evening, we prepared for the night and around 20:00 we tried to lock the door. The door lock did not work. A call to the front desk and a couple of minutes later someone from maintenance was at our door. I explained that the door wouldn't lock from the inside and he insisted that the lock was working. I was a bit taken back by his curt response, but nevertheless invited him to try. What followed next had me flabbergasted! The maintenance employee closed the door, and using his body weight proceeded to to yank on the door handle until he could engage the lock. Curtly he replied, "There it is locked". I attempted to unlock door by turning the lock itself and when I couldn't he demonstrated how to unlock the door. Standing on his toes and again using all his body weight he pressed down on the door handle until the lock disengaged. Again the curt response, "There it is unlocked". I couldn't believe it! Visibility annoyed at this point, when I pointed out that locking the door in such a manner would be a fire hazard (not to mention my wife will never be able to unlock the door if I locked it), he suggested that I actually didn't need to lock the door as no one from the outside could get in without a key. In response I stated that any member of staff could enter if the door was unlocked, to which he acknowledged was true and said I could either call the front desk to arrange a new room, lock the door as he demonstrated, or leave the door unlocked; but there was nothing he could do to fix the lock. Another call to the front desk and we were offered a room on the 20th floor. So after repacking we moved to our 3-room for the day. From then on the only issues we faced were with our room keys. Every time we left our room, the room key would not let us back in. So we had to make our way to the front desk where they would make a new key. Every time without fail!

Plussat: Breakfast buffet was nice, good location

Miinukset: Didn't really have air conditioning -- our room was really hot which was disruptive

Plussat: King-sized bed, which was hard to find in Oslo, or Europe for that matter. Comfortable, quiet room. Helpful staff. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Carpet next to bed needed cleaning, and our daughters' shower did not drain. reported both.

Plussat: The staff was excellent - they helped me recover my kindle when I accidentally left it on the airport shuttle. They also helped me with directions and provided assistance in finding my way around Oslo. The breakfast buffet was very good as well.

Miinukset: Room temperature was a bit warm for my taste - the ac was apparently not on yet (early spring), so I could not make the room cooler.

Plussat: We don't know what we would have liked because our reservation was cancelled on the morning of our flight to Oslo because of a hotel workers strike.

Miinukset: Obviously, we didn't like the need to find another hotel at the very last minute.

Miinukset: Very slow/non-existant Room Service.

Plussat: The roof bar and the location with a nice walk to the city center.

Plussat: Very nice breakfast in nice room

Miinukset: The interior of the rooms is "dated"

Plussat: exceptionally good was the breakfast, very wide variety of anything you can wish for and great service( michael from the brekfast service was very helpful and gave a great service!). also the view from the hotelbar is great!

Miinukset: the "business class" rooms were a little bit old fashioned and run down, but clean and everythign was there.

Plussat: I stayed 2 nights for a city break and found the hotel fine in particular I found the sauna a welcome relief after touring the city all day. The breakfast buffet had everthing you would want with good quality ingredients. It was a good location just a 5 min walk to the main street karl johans.

Miinukset: my only fault was the room was a little small (twin queen were 2 single beds although comfortable) with no tea coffee making facility which is a pity especially when walking around the city all you look forward to is a warm cup of coffee to relax in your room, the hotel lobby was dated the chairs were quiet worn and the leisure facilities (pool) was freezing!!

Plussat: aamupala

Miinukset: Huoneiden siisteys, saippuateline rikki, silitysrauta ja lauta rikkinäiset ja epäsiistit.

Plussat: aamupala hyvä (mutta vettä valui katosta!)

Miinukset: vettä valui katosta aamupalatilassa, huonetta piti odottaa 3 h virkailijoiden lupauksista huolimatta, huoneesta valot palaneet eikä respasta tilattu huoltomies tullut paikalle, kylpyamme kulunut/likainen ja kylpyhuoneessa ötököitä. palvelu ei pelannut laisinkaan. en tulisi uudelleen.

Miinukset: Kokolattiamatto.

Plussat: Location is great next to train train. Buffet breakfast is excellent. If you have early train connection than this is the number one choice.

Plussat: The comfort, internet access, the central location, comfortable rooms, little noise

Miinukset: it was easy to see that all the fruit on the breakfast table was sliced the day before. It would have been more delicious with fresh sliced. Equal with the "agurk". Since I'm not at coffee drinker I would have liked green tea.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti ehdottomasti ykkösenä ja henkilökunta on aivan upea.
