Clarion Collection® Hotel Folketeateret

I found my way to the hotel on foot from Oslo Central Station without any problems. The location is definitely great if you want to explore many sights on foot. Otherwise you have the metro, train station and buses nearby and ferry connections from the harbour. My room on the seventh floor was very quiet and clean. The bed was large, soft and fluffy. There was no safe in the room. At breakfast, which was in the Grilleriet restaurant, there was a very large selection and also really good multigrain bread. Dinner was on the seventh floor. I found the room a bit too small, but the food was good. Check in and out was quick and the staff were very friendly.

I have been traveling for business in Eurasian continent since 2006 , i have never had such an experience in any great hotel brands --- these place is outstanding! Receptionist made us smile and be splendid with his service and professionalism

This hotel is really convenient for the station, but not on top of it - about a 5-10 minute walk. It is located inside an arcade where you will find the theatre and some cafes. The hotel really has Norwegian hospitality licked. They really looked after guests with their coffee in the lobby, afternoon fika, and if you want, there is simple food available in the evening as part of the deal. The breakfast is very good, but there is no fresh egg cooking going on. Other than that there is pretty much everything you would want for a breakfast with excellent smoked salmon and graved lax We were allocated a standard double room (319) and it was small but probably normal by Scandinavian standards. It was very warm, and you could not adjust the air conditioning much in April. The shower was sort of wet room system, and as there was no door, it soaked the floor of the bathroom if you had the shower at height and had anything other than a very quick soak. Towels are small. Only cosmetic was liquid soap. Rooms are only cleaned on request, but that is only a problem if you stay more than one night. If you are staying more than one night, the lack of room may be an issue as there is nowhere to unpack - no shelves, cupboards or safe. There is a small amount of hanging space but only enough for a couple of days. It would work better as a short stay business hotel. There is a tram/bus stop outside the hotel and the very useful number 12 tram goes right by. It was simple to get to most of the major Oslo tourist locations. Don't think about driving, as there is no apparent place to leave a car. There are plenty of eating places in walking distance, but the better ones get full quickly and it seemed to be normal for a decent place to be full at 7pm any night of the week. Don't forget that eating out in Oslo can be very expensive, and even a low end proper restaurant will set you back £60-70 per person for a modest meal. There is decent wifi, a small desk area if you need it, and a small television, mostly showing local channels. I found the bed a bit too soft and the pillow a bit uncomfortable, but that is a personal thing, and my wife had no problems. The hotel staff were very helpful, and most of them spoke good English. We had to miss Saturday morning breakfast to catch a flight, and the hotel gave us a brown bag breakfast for our journey, which was just as well, as food in the airport is very expensive.

This hotel is a great choice if you're looking to stay in central Oslo. Breakfast, fika and an evening meal are all included in the price, making it very good value for money. The breakfast buffet is excellent with a range of different options to choose from. The evening meal was also very good, though the lounge area is quite small and can become crowded. I had a room facing the inner courtyard, which was nice and quiet despite the city centre location. I really enjoyed my stay and would visit again.

Fabulous art deco hotel. We were too late for the afternoon coffee and cake but had a great dinner and breakfast all included in the price. Amazing value. I have another Oslo hotel booked for later in the month but think I will cancel and rebook this hotel.
