Downside with living in the middle of Oslo is quite a lot of noise from outside, a night club right outside made it difficult to sleep. However, the noise was far less loud than one would expect, and a somewhat less sensitive sleeper might not be bothered at all.
I loved everything about this hotel, it gave me a feeling og those hotels one may see in films based on Agatha Christie-novels (without thed scary parts). The staff was exeptionally helpful, professional and welcoming.

Be aware that rooms on the 7th floor require climbing a flight of stairs to access. I was originally assigned to a room there but asked to be moved to the 6th floor which has direct elevator access.
The Bristol is located in the center of the city, close to businesses as well as sightseeing attractions. It is a very comfortable, clean hotel and the service is top notch.
