Everything u would expect from a member of the leading hotels of the world. Bar stuff was exceptionally nice and helpful, they really helped us with restaurant recommendations.

Julian Germany

The Hotel Continental location was fabulous for our (too) brief stay in Oslo. We were upgraded at check in to a Junior Suite and the room was amazing. Comfortable, luxurious bed, a beautiful sitting area, with a balcony overlooking the city. We had a wonderful stay.

Laura United States of America

Victoria, at the front desk, was extremely friendly, helpful and professional. She exceeded all expectations.

Ray United States of America

Super clean room, friendly staff, excellent location, nice lobby.
