The little island where the hotel is located is amazing. The view from our window was incredible. The rooms are essential but fine. In the morning we took a walk around and visited the fortress museum which is very interesting. Overall a great experience!

Hotel is in a dedicated (new) block to the west of the original fortress (so not part of it). Rooms facing the fjord have great views, and breakfast and l'Occitane toiletries were a nice surprise. The island itself is fascinating - easy to get to by boat (hourly) and small enough to get around in a couple of hours, though tours take longer.

Diego

The area is absolutely magical - fantastic views and location. Definitely worth visiting this island although the hotel has a relatively basic standard. Recommends everyone to take a guided tour to see the history of the innovation of Norway and the drama that unfolded here. Have dinner down at the marina - very nice in the sunset.

Janne

Nice place, previously a fortress, in an island. It is accessible by boat only. Rooms are large and comfortable, with the essential plus a coffee machine. Having reserved rooms with sea view, there are some binoculars of surprising good quality available. The hotel is not in one single building. In our case, we had to walk some 150 meters from the reception till the building with the rooms. It is not a problem. Great communication through booking prior arrival and very friendly staff. The breakfast was good, with gluten free bread available upon request.

- No air-conditioner in the room; - The rooms are not in the same building as the reception and restaurant (they are very close tough); - At check-in, the room was not properly made (no sheet on the bed). In the end they offered us drinks while they prepared the room again. In brief, they solved the problem fast and well.

“Oscarsborg itself and the surrounding area is a memorable place - highly recommended”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
Check-in is not until 4pm it is far too late and one must check out at 10am which is an hour too early compared to when the boat to Oslo returns. When it is vacation time and not conferences, they should have a better check-in and check-out routine. When it is hot and you have a room with a sea view it gets EXTREMELY hot and there is no air conditioning just a table fan.

Some basic amenities were not provided. Cups and soap in bathroom were sent on request. Floor was not vacuumed properly. We only managed to get a table fan - it was super hot in the room even with window open If they can help customers with young kids with bringing their luggage from ferry point up the hill to reception it will be a great help.

“Nice hotel in an island”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
How come that there are only 3 channels available on the, otherwise nice, tv? This was not an error tuning it, since we rented 2 rooms and both were the same. Also, there was some dust here and there. It was not a big deal, and most people would not notice it.

“In general, would recommend because of nature, views and unique historical place.”
- • Business trip
- • Family with young children
We had a 2 days stay with a small kid. The first room was without hot water(!) and mini bar. Also, the shower gel dispenser was empty and they forgot to put the hairdryer. Asked for hot water fix, but received new room and only the next day. So the first day had to warm water with kettle :) (Thanks to the lady on reception, who gave it to me!). Not kinda what you expect from 4-star hotel. Next room had the hot water _almost_ all the time. The shower gel dispenser though was empty again. Also, they put candles to the room but forgot the lighter, so romantic mood didn't happen :) Also, both rooms were extremely dusty, which is already described in the other reviews from other travelers. Can't say all above ruined our stay, but all these small things can be irritating when you have to spend part of your holiday running between reception and room.
Stunning views, good personnel, historical location, breakfast, restaurant, nature.
