Location 5-star? Not possible. No bell-boy. Had to carry luggage in the rain by ourselves. Tiny, tiny lobby and we thought the receiption was actually the Concierge desk, but it was the receiption! Theathercoffee shop was closed for renovation. No information received that this was the case. Reception staff didnt explain hotels facilities, which the hotel actually do not have any of anyhow!, didnt ask if we wanted to make dinner or breakfast reservations, room (we stayed in deluxe)was anything than deluxe! Not even a toothbrush, no tea/coffemaking facilities, even found a toenail in the bed!, from previous guest? Does it mean they havent change bedsheet! We paid over EUR 200.00 for this room without breakfast since we thought we would get a 5-star accomodation and treatment. We got a 3-star, overpriced, bad service experience instead.Stay away from this hotel and book anything else to avoid what we had to go through.

This hotel has the very best location of all Oslo hotels & is without doubt in the best area of the city being just beside the lovely National Theatre, 2 min walk from buses & metro & 5 min walk from the harbour. The hotel is lovely & old fashioned in a very charming way. Public areas are not big but beautifully decorated & spotless. We had 3 single rooms, all very comfy, lovely decor & lovely bathrooms. Breakfast was lovely, nice dining room with a street view. The best thing about this hotel, however, is the staff. During our stay they were, without exception, professional, friendly & very, very helpful. More expensive than other hotels in Oslo but for me it was well worth the extra. Oslo is the most expensive city I have ever been to but also possibly the most civil.

Wonderful really, but hotel room itself lacked a few common amenities. Documentation is room did not anticipate or address needs of travelers (e.g., is there anything you forgot... here is a map of the city... here are some dining and other recommendations... please call xxxx and let us help make your stay more enjoyable etc... No conceierge on duty for most of stay so information came from hotel desk clerks. Wonderful hotel, but does not come close to its billing as one of the world's best.

Great Restaurants: The Lobby Cafe with the Edward Munch Paintings Collction and the Theatercafeen are a must. Beautiful and comfortable large Rooms. Great Location too directly at the National Theater and the Flytoget Subway Station to Oslo Airport. The famous Aker Brygge Dining and Shopping Center next to the Sea is also only 5 mins walk away. On Saturday 9pm the entire lobby was closed because of "no guests". Only after inquiring I was offered a place to sit down.This is unheard of for a 5-Star Hotel. Oh, and the Cappuchino offered during breakfast and in the Daglistuen Cafe is only a coffee with milk.

A well maintened traditional yet modern (sic) hotel that is well managed with its guest comfort and enjoyment being their solo purpose. The room was cold (it was Norway in January!) but within minutes an extra heater was brought to the room.

The facilities and rooms are discretely and elegantly decorated. The location is probably the best in Oslo centre. Fabulous restaurants adjecent. The breakfast was good but nothing out of the ordinary for Oslo hotels of a certain standard.

The only five star hotel in Norway definitely deserves its stars. The rooms are exquisitely furnished and decorated, the people in the reception are friendly and efficient, and the lobby bar serves really excellent snack food and drinks. (I don't think you will be served things like freshly made crab-cakes in many other bars in Oslo - or any other city for that matter!) And the famous restaurant "Theatercafeen" is just one door away, with its lively atmosphere, true french art-deco interior and excellent cuisine. Still, I can't help thinking that this establishment has maybe gotten a little bit used to its top-notch reputation and could do with a little competition from at least one more five star here. So Petter (Stordalen) and Olav (Thon), what do you think, time to invest some of your money on a really good hotel?? The drain in the sink and bathtub was almost completely clogged, so after a wash or bath, things got a bit "untidy". I asked the reception to fix it, but nothing happened, maybe it was a bigger problem... I'm kindof glad that they didn't start breaking up the walls, but this shouldn't really happen in a five star hotel, should it?

Excellent location, charming historical atmosphere, extremely professional staff, gorgeous restaurant Theatercaffeen... perfect place to stay to discover Oslo. For a Leading Hotel of the World, we were expecting the rooms to be more spacious and with some more touches of luxury.
