Clarion Collection® Hotel Folketeateret

Vietin hotellissa 3 yötä lomaviikonlopun merkeissä vaimoni kanssa ja sen lisäksi 3 yötä yksin liiketoimien takia. Superior-tason huone oli hyvän kokoinen ja erittäin siisti. Huone oli myös melko hiljainen pääkadulle avautuvasta näkymästä huolimatta. Hotelli tarjosi myös erinomaisen illallisen, joka kuului hintaan ja tarjoiltiin 7. kerroksen loungessa. Itse en voi antaa hotellille viittä tähteä, koska huoneesta puuttui säilytystilaa ja kylpyhuoneessa hyllytilaa. Tilanne toki parani hieman kun vaimoni palasi kotiin. Yöpyisin hotellissa uudemman kerran - ehkä.

We stayed here for two nights to explore wonderful Oslo. We managed to get an early check in and the staff at reception were always friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, we had a superior room which had lots of space. The bed was really comfy and the blackout curtains were amazing, so amazing we slept for 12 hours! The Rituals toiletries were a nice touch and the shower powerful. Breakfast was quite extensive with lots of choice, it was always busy but we had no trouble finding a table. Dinner was also nice, it did seem to get quite busy but there was a quick turnaround. All in all a delightful stay in a central location.

The complimentary breakfast and evening meal were better than I anticipated. The breakfast contained enormous choice from hot cooked food through to cereals, cheese and meat cold cuts, ceareals and breads. The evening meal always had a hot choice plus salad and soup. Everything was freshly made. My one criticism was that I could not control the room temperature nor could I open the window. It remained 24 C which was too warm for sleeping comfortably in early Autumn.

We stayed here for a few reasons: location, price, and the free meals. It is a five minute walk from the train station, in close walking distance to all the attractions and areas around the center. The breakfast buffet is astounding! Served in a very ample room, it was the best breakfast on our trip. The complimentary dinner on the top floor was another matter. The first night it was mostly gone when we got up there an hour before it should have ended, and didn't really look very appetizing. It is a very small room for the purpose for such a large hotel. The second night we were early, so early we had time to explore the top floor which we realized had a huge reading room, and various little outdoor small patios, very nice. Well, they served that buffet: we decided to get dinner elsewhere. I will note that we stayed at their sister hotel in Lillehammer, and the dinner was great! The room was clean, big enough, flat screen tv. It the price was right I'd stay there again, i would only hope they could improve on the light dinner. And i must say that the young people at the front desk were super friendly and helpful. We also like the free coffee and tea provided 24/7 in the lobby.

Really enjoyed the location - close to central station and transit to anywhere you want to go, trendy Yongestreat area with fun restaurants and bars and a new street food court, and the pedestrian shopping street on Karl Johan’s gate. The breakfast, snack and dinner inclusions really help in expensive Norway and were all super tasty with nutritious/healthy options. We loved the power shot and smoothie options at breakfast. Would recommend to anyone on a budget wanting a modern hotel in a great location!
