Friendly staff, unique atmosphere, excellent food

Breakfast was really good!

The bed was uncomfortable, the mattress too thin and soft for my taste. I stayed over the weekend and the cleaning service was very poor. They didn't replace the complimentary toilet products and they didn't vacuum either.

I wanted to see Oslo but travelling alone, I wanted to escape the city, which is how I came to the Holmenkollen Park Hotel. It's a lovely hotel, but be warned - like all the other reviews say, it is a bit out of the city, which is a plus or minus depending on what you're looking for. I liked the idea of escaping from the city to the mountains, and I got what I was looking for. The room was comfortable, nice bathroom with a bath but there wasn't much of a view from my room, but from outside of the hotel was lovely. As all of the other reviewers have said, it is about 20-25 minutes from the city but the Metro runs often (indicated by a T in a circle - don't get confused and think this is the sign for trams!) and while it ends the stop befo

location, beautiful nature all around, nice view to Oslofjord, breakfast was excellent

everything was o.k.

Excellent dinner restaurant for the evenings. One of the very best breakfast I had in the Nordic countries, fresh and rich. Nice place, far from the center but in a beautiful view point.

Very nice hotel located in a beautifful place with the excellent view on Oslofiord. Hotel staff is very friendly and hospitable. We stayed in comfortable room with a huge window with a marvelous view from it. But what we liked more in the hotel it's a breakfast!!! The breakfast was just perfect!

Best food ever!

We had quite an adventure finding the hotel from the train that does not stop after Bessirud(spelling)? Other than that is was an awesome experience

Clean and comfortable. If you are looking at spending time in the city, this is not the ideal place as the ride to the city is quite far.

We were not informed of the train track being under construction. The journey from and to the hotel, when ever we had to go out was very inconvenient as a result.

really good

We were camping and were looking for a nice alternative in Oslo due to bad weather. The Holmenkollen Park Hotel Rica was an excellent choice. We liked the building style of the central part of the hotel (the extension building with the hotel rooms is a normal building) and the magnificent view overlooking Oslo Fjord from the hotel room. The breakfast buffet offered a wide range of different styles of breakfast and should make everybody happy. Holmenkollen subway station is nearby (10min walk down the hill), so the hotel can be easily reached from the city centre. At the time of our stay (August 2009) the subway track was being upgraded and there was no service to Holmenkollen station, but there were high frequency bus replacement services.

We've got a nice view as requested, excellent breakfast.

The bus (1B) connection from the train station to the hotel was very poor. It was rarely on time. Even worse, the bus usually left before the train arrived. That means the passengers have to wait for the next bus. There was one day that we and the other guests of the hotel were waiting for a bus in the rain for more than half an hour. ... To improve this, during the construction of the railway, the hotel should have provided a shuttle bus service to pick up their guests at the last stop of the train line 1. That would make this hotel even more attractive...
